I love to try new places. And finding hidden little gems is my favorite! Well I definitely found rubies with this one!

India’s Restaurant is one of those hidden away, hole in the wall places where the servers are the sweetest people and food is authentic and delicious! I had the Ginger Chicken and my husband had the Lamb Vindaloo. The ginger chicken was sweet and tangy with just the right amount of kick! The lamb Vindaloo was that perfect Indian spice that you would expect from this type of cuisine. But I think my favorite part of them meal was the freshly baked Garlic Nan bread! Believe me when I say you want to try this place if only for the bread.

All in all, I am already planning my next trip back. I can’t wait to try some of the other lamb dishes with ginger seasoning! 🙂

Inspiration is everywhere! Muse is a fickle friend. I got the inspiration for this dish from seeing a marinade bottle.

I seasoned this chicken breast in ground and fresh grated ginger; a little thyme, sage, and ground mustard; with a dash of garlic with sea salt and cajun seasoning. I injected it with injectable marinade and then coated it with just a little sesame ginger marinade. I then baked it.

The rice is a mixture of long grain and wild rice. I added a small amount of sesame seed oil, sliced almonds, and a hand full of sesame seeds to give in a more Asian flavor. I also seasoned it with ginger, garlic, sea salt, and a splash of soy sauce.

I made a dipping sauce out of a little of the sesame ginger marinade, teriyaki sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds. I also paired this dish with a Japanese beer Kirin Ichiban. If you like beer and haven’t tried it, What are you waiting for?

It may not be authentic or found in a hibachi grill, but this Asian inspired dish was delicious and very easy to make!
