This Month’s Films: Shakespeare Wallah & The Namesake
Cuisine: Indian

These tasty tidbits make a quick and easy Indian appetizer that can be easily expanded according to your guest list. The spice rub is a simple mixture of turmeric, cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika, mixed with a little vegetable oil. After marinating for about 30 minutes, they’re quick-fried in very hot oil and finished in a covered baking dish in the oven. Plain yogurt makes a refreshing dip to contrast with the spicy coating on the chicken and together they make the perfect party food for a buffet or a bring-a-dish affair.

The recipe will be posted at the end of the month along with my Shakeapeare Wallah and The Namesake film reviews.
