Mint Yogurt Sauce

Mint Yogurt Sauce


Ingredients:

2- bunches of washed cilantro- leave majority of the stems 
4- bunches of washed peppermint leaves.
2- jalapenos ( if you are not a fan of spicy use one) 
Juice of 4-5 Limes
Sea Salt to taste

 In a Blender ADD: Cilantro, Mint leaves, jalapenos, lime juice, and salt and blend. It will take time because the ingredients are all dry- you can help with blending by adding a bit of water ( just 4-6 tablespoons) to get it to go. I usually have to turn off the blender, TAKE it OFF the base and push down on the leaves. COVER it up and put it back on the blender and pulse it to get it to go. 

Once you see its all blended and give it a taste, add salt, another jalapeno, lime juice if needed for your taste.
 
Once its finished- I pour the sauce into a ice cube tray and freeze it. Take as I need. You can also mix this sauce ( like 3 cubes) and add it into a 2 cups of greek yogurt. Its delicious with Rice, Chicken, Samosas, anything you want it with.


Here is mine, mixed with yogurt. I also add chopped cucumber, tomaotes and fine chopped onion into it- TRY IT its addicting.

Made with Love: Naan

Naan is one of the basic essentials of accompanying the main dish such as, Chicken Tikka Masala, Khahri Ghust,  and Curry. No one would ever pass off a fresh homemade, made with Love fluffy naan. If you like the smell of fresh baked bread then you will love the smell of these babies when they are baking in your oven.

Ingredients:
1 pkg yeast
2 teas sugar
1 1/2 warm water
2 Tbs Coconut oil or Olive oil
1/3 cup greek yogurt
3 cups of flour
2 tes sea salt
oven safe metal tray- if it caves inward then you can flip the tray and use if backwards.
Rolling pin

Naan garnishes
Finely Chopped Cilantro
Melted Butter
Minced garlic
Chopped green onion

1- IN a large bowl; add warm water, add yeast and sugar. Whisk and let if set for 10 mins.
2- COMBINE into your yeast mixture sifted flour, salt, yogurt and oil. Kneed it well- its ok if its sticky. try your best to scrap off most of the dough from your fingers. place the dough in a oil coated large bowl and set the dough in. COVER it with plastic wrap and watch it grow. ( wait 2-3 hours)

3. PRE-HEAT OVEN at 475 degrees. Take out the dough and divide it- make equal size balls. Cover them up with plastic and wait additional 20 mins.
4.  Roll out the dough balls with a rolling pin to the point they are nicely flat. Lightly coat the side that will touch the tray with oil and place the flattened dough on the tray. Place it in the oven and wait 3 mins. Flip the Naan and wait 6-7 mins. ****Be sure to not walk away because you dont want it to over cook or burn. Once they are nice and fluffy. Brush with some butter or coconut oil. Repeat for each dough ball, because they all will not fit in one tray. Once finished you can add on your choice either- minced garlic, green onion, or cilantro on the cooked naan and place it back in the oven for additional 1-2 mins.

Thats it. I hope you enjoy.
