Last night I tried my hand at following in my dad's footsteps and cooking Indian for my friends. On the menu: chicken korma, pilau rice, masala green beans with fenugreek, naan with homemade raita, and a dish my dad made up called Fish Curry Dani. I think everything was edible and fairly enjoyable (at least my friends made a good attempt to make me feel that way); I have to work on my timing so that I can, you know, feed everyone by midnight...

Rick aka Popo's Fish Curry Dani

1 medium onion, sliced in strings
1 1/2 cups chopped tomato
1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tbsp. Biryani curry paste
1 1/2 cups Rogan Josh sauce (tomato, buttermilk, masala spices)
white fish such as cod, snapper or halibut (2-3 small pieces per person)

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add the Biryani paste, and fry onions in Biryani paste for another 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and Rogan Josh sauce. Heat to a soft boil; add the fish pieces, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve with basmati rice.
