Nice to see you improvised my tofu kebabs! I always assume everyone knows how to drain the tofu, but that’s a good tip to add.

I am glad you found a use for the curry powder…they said you can just sprinkle it onto popcorn as well…but I don’t think I’d like that?

Hooray! Trader Joes makes these vegetable masala burgers that are delicious and remind me of samosas. I’ve been looking for something Indian inspired that I can make at home to pair them with! (More info about the burgers here.)

I am assuming masala curry powder is different from the generic stuff I see on the supermarket shelves?

I had to look this up, as I’m no expert on curry powder. I have a generic yellow curry powder from McCormick, and the ingredients are:

Spices (Including Coriander, Fenugreek, Turmeric, and Red Pepper), And Onion.

The much more delicious curry powder I used for this dish was from my Canadian friend Jodi, and it seems to be a local preparation. It’s Premala’s brand, Red Roasted Masala Curry Powder, which includes:

Paprika, red chili powder, coriander, cumin, fennel, turmeric, fenugreek, herbs & spices.

The red curry powder is much sweeter in both smell and flavor, it’s really just much better-tasting to my palate. The McCormick curry powder is kind of sharp and almost dusty-smelling (it has an expiry date in 2010, so that’s not an age issue).

I think you will be fine with pretty much any curry powder, they are all just a blend of herbs and spices. You’ll have to experiment to find what you like best. I bet Trader Joe’s has some great options.

Hope that helps! — Dara

I imagine, kosherness aside, I could do this to chicken?

Yep, it would be delicious! — Dara

Sounds great to go with all your greens or as a pop in your mouth snack.
