This Month’s Film: A Three-Year Chopstick Cinema Film Retrospective
Cuisine: A Three-Year Retrospective of All Chopstick Cinema Menus

In the three years I have been creating menus for Chopstick Cinema, I have created three Indian meals to go with three excellent India-themed films:

In August 2004, I featured, Monsoon Wedding

with an Indian menu that includes Curry Infused Shrimp with Mango Chutney, Mulligatawny Soup, Chicken Vindaloo, Curried Lamb Stew, Spiced Lentils, Garlic Ginger Jasmine Rice, Five Chutneys, and Naan Bread.

In October 2005, I featured Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India

with an
Indian menu that includes Golden Fishcakes, Tilapia Filets Stuffed with Spinach, Lamb-Filled Samosas, Mulligatawny Soup, Grilled Lamb Salad over Baby Spinach with Tomato-Cucumber Raita, Chicken Korma, Saffron Rice with Lime and Cashews, Vegetable Stuffed Eggplants Fried in Chickpea Batter and Warm Coconut Banana Pudding.

In Setember 2006, I featured my favorite adventure film, The Man Who Would Be King

with
a six-course feast from the Indian province of Bengal. Recipes include Shrimp Fritters, Catfish in Mustard Sauce, Eggplant with Tomatoes and Mustard Seeds, Rice Pilaf with Spices and Peanuts, Deep-Fried White Flour Puffy Bread, and Deep Fried Milk-Powder Balls in Rose-Scented Syrup.
