Indian Spices and Herbs

ind ian sp ic es and herbs

inding Indian spices and groceries today is so much easier than when I was growing up in Pennsylvania, back in the 1970s. An Indian grocery store was a rare find, and one for which we were constantly on the lookout. I still remember making a weekly jaunt to a dark, slightly unkempt store with a steep, curved driveway in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Now, most basic Indian ingredients are well stocked in mainstream grocery stores—so much so, in fact, that many of Indian grocers are scrambling for business. If you have trouble finding spices, head to my website, indianasapplepie.com, where I stock basic Indian spices and blends. We’re adding more every day. a m c hur

amla: Also known as an Indian gooseberry, amla is a round, pale, greenishyellow-colored fruit that is extremely tart and high in vitamin C. I buy the dried variety from my mother’s childhood hometown of Chandigarh, but if you can find dried amla in an Indian grocery store, it’s worth adding to Mom’s Morning Cleanse (see recipe on p. 55). The frozen kind is a terrific and easy addition to my Indian as Apple Pie Green Juice Smoothie (see recipe on p. 57). asafetida (hing): Also known as devil’s dung, likely because of its sharp smell, this resin-like gum is ground into a powder and added sparingly to hot oil to help with digestion. It tastes like leeks once cooked in hot oil, but should be used carefully—it is very strong. Buy it preground and keep it in a tightly sealed container. black salt (kala namak): My favorite spice, mined from soft-stone quarries in northern India and Pakistan, is kala namak. It has a sulfuric tang and is used in salads and street foods to help boost flavor. Sprinkle it, along with lemon juice, over fresh veggies like raw onions and cucumbers for an addictive side salad and/or snack. This tangy spice is how I got my young girls hooked on veggies. cardamom, green (elaichi): Known as the queen of spices, hara (green) cardamom grows as pods on a six-foot-tall shrub. One of the most valued and costliest spices in the world, it contains 25 volatile oils. Key among these is cineole, which is also found in bay leaves. Cineole is being studied for its many benefits, which may include aiding digestion, getting rid of bad breath, inhibiting the growth of ulcers, and preventing colon cancer. It’s the primary flavor in Indian teas, rice pudding, basmati rice, and meat stews. Buy it whole in pods and crush it gently (discard the hull before eating) or take the seeds out and crush them into a powder (it’s used this way in many desserts). You can also purchase cardamom seeds already removed from the hull.

Lamb Biryani ServeS 4–6 tools You’ll need a small and a

large mixing bowl; a food processor; a heavy-bottomed, 6-quart sauté pan; 2 plates; a medium stockpot; and a 2-quart ovensafe casserole dish with a tight lid (use aluminum foil if you don’t have a lid). tip Assemble this dish ahead of time

and pop it into the oven 1 hour before dinner. It’s a delicious and easy meal, and you’ll have time to entertain your guests. Veg a nize it! See my recipe for Tofu

Think one-pot South Asian meal, and typically a good biryani will come to mind. The idea is that while the main protein and rice are partially cooked separately, the culinary magic happens when they come together in the oven. The juices from the meat below blend with the rice layered on top to create something uniquely delicious. 1/4 cup (59 ml) warmed milk 1 teaspoon saffron strands 1 (2-inch [5-cm]) piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1–4 fresh thai, serrano, or cayenne chiles, stems removed 1 cup (16 g) fresh cilantro 1/4 cup (6 g) fresh mint leaves 2 tablespoons Garam Masala (see recipe on p. 51) 1 teaspoon red chile powder or cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 cup (237 ml) plain, unsweetened yogurt 2 pounds (908 g) boneless lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 1/4 cup (59 ml) plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced in rings 1/2 teaspoon plus 3 pinches salt 2 cups (380 g) rice, washed and drained water, to cover 1/4 cup (41 g) golden raisins

Biryani on page 123. 1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the warmed milk and saffron strands and set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes while you prep the remaining ingredients. 2. In the bowl of a food processor, grind the ginger, garlic, chiles, and coriander

and mint leaves into a smooth paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, add the yogurt, and stir until well combined. 3. Slowly fold the lamb into the yogurt mixture and stir gently until all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. 4. Set the oven rack at the second-from-top position and preheat the oven to 450°F. 5. In a heavy-bottomed, 4-quart sauté pan over medium–high heat, warm 1/4 cup

of the oil. Add the onions and 3 pinches of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until the onions are browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a plate and leave the oil behind in the sauté pan. 6. Return the sauté pan to medium–high heat and warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Using tongs, carefully add the marinated lamb to the sauté pan, leaving the marinade behind in the bowl. Reserve it—you’ll need it later. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the lamb to a 2-quart ovensafe casserole dish and set aside.

Imagine This explains how some of us, even at a young age, consciously chose the vehicle through which we’d express our magnificence—be it business, art, science, or elsewhere. While others of us have dutifully plied a trade in arenas that society has suggested are worthwhile, with self-expression only fixed on a hobby. Both, Clair maintains, can contribute to a good life. Occasionally, however, a moment comes that is sufficiently insistent on deep examination. Within it we find the unspent energy, the unsung verses, unused and under-developed neural pathways that point us toward something greater and more fulfilling. In that moment, we float the possibility not only of a new and greater self-expression, but also the possibility for expression of a greater Self. But then the moment is gone. Imagine This shows readers how to be aware of these moments and how our inner creativity is always seeking an outlet. By combining her remarkable personal story with step-by-step advice, she helps readers find and develop their own unique and personal creative outlets. Ultimately, this expression of self is both an imperative and a promise for anyone seeking to thrive in a life of joy and fulfillment. Just as in her lauded fiction, Clair’s writing is clear and elegant, only now it is put to constructing insightful tips and executable daily plans for anyone seeking inspiration in everyday life. Clair writes that for many people, finding and experiencing selfexpression is not a conscious process. We operate in the dark, believing that life happens to us. In some cases, we take creative activity for granted; in other cases, our intellect and ego override our hearts to serve the short term, inevitably falling short of long-term fulfillment. A flourishing creative expression requires that we become more conscious of being conscious.

justice while black

Helping African-American Families Navigate and Survive the Criminal Justice System Robbin Shipp and Nick Chiles

ustice While Black is a must-read for everyone who cares about the survival and well-being of young black males in this country. This is an essential, first-ever guide for AfricanAmerican families about the criminal justice system—and about why and how that system continues to see black men as targets and as dollar signs.

Trade Paper October 2014 $14

6x9

ISBN: 978-1-932841-90-9

• Practical advice for AfricanAmerican families on how to deal with specific legal circumstances • Discusses these issues in the larger context of how America’s criminal justice system benefits from ensnaring ill-informed young men, as addressed in the bestselling The New Jim Crow • A one-of-a-kind resource on issues that affect millions of African Americans and their families • Promotion throughout major urban areas and southeast US, specifically through civil rights organizations, churches, and author speaking engagements

The book provides straightforward advice on how to deal with specific legal situations: the threat of arrest, being arrested, being in custody, preparing for and undergoing a trial, and navigating the appeals and parole processes. The book’s primary goal is to inform African-American families about how to avoid becoming ensnared in the criminal justice system—a system whose chief purpose, as the authors see it, is less to ensure justice than it is to provide a constant supply of bodies to perpetuate the system and to keep the jobs and money flowing. While the risks facing black males have received renewed interest after the recent deaths of teenagers Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, the fact is that young black men have always been under threat from the armed guardians of the white social order, going back to this nation’s founding. The tactics have been modernized, but the impact is still devastating—we are witnessing an epic criminalization of the African-American community at levels unseen since the end of slavery. This is a book that belongs in the home library of every African-American family. It is an excellent companion to the 2012 bestseller The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and Cornel West. As NAACP president and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous referred to that book as a “call to action,” then Justice While Black is a manual for how African Americans can protect themselves and their loved ones from these hazards. Robbin Shipp, Esq., is an attorney in Decatur, Georgia. She lives in Atlanta with her daughter.

f you want to find something on the World Wide Web, you “Google” it. With its million servers located around the world, the company handles more than a billion search requests daily. But how did Google gain this lion’s share of the market?

Back when the web first came online, people struggled to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information. How to search effectively, let alone how to monetize search, was poorly understood. Enter two computer science graduate students from Stanford, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Add a clever name playing off the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, and the $229 billion behemoth we now know as Google was born. For the first time, the most thought-provoking, revealing, and inspiring quotes from Google’s founders have been compiled into a single book. The Google Boys: Sergey Brin and Larry Page In Their Own Words collects hundreds of their best quotes, comprising thoughts on business, management, entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and life lessons, to provide an intimate and direct look into the mind of these two modern business icons. What emerges is a “word portrait” of both men, whose business model for Google may well be a template for businesses in the future. George Beahm is the author or editor of more than 30 books, many of them companion volumes about well-known writers and public figures. His book, I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words (Agate B2, 2011), was a New York Times bestseller. He lives in Williamsburg, Virginia. Praise for In Their Own Words titles

Included are graphic crime scenes and raw depictions of violent emotion, captured on film during a time when photographers were given enormous access to work alongside police.

“Like the glory days of Saturday Night Live, Too Much Light is not just funny, but faintly surreal.”

C NU

Backstage

by John Jughead Pierson

What if George Bailey wasn’t saved by his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody, on that snowy Christmas Eve in Bedford Falls? This reimagining of the beloved Frank Capra classic It’s a Wonderful Life (and the Phillip Van Doren Stern story that inspired it) tells the story of Bedford Falls and its inhabitants after the death of their drama’s central character.

from

Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind

“Too Much Light is not a typical night on the town. In fact, it’s not a typical anything. It is a wildly inventive roller-coaster of a play designed for the sharp of wit and tongue.”

The Last Temptation of Clarence Odbody by the New York Neo-Futurists

Washington Square News

ITE

“An athletic endeavor to be sure, and one which viscerally exploits the connection between performer and spectator for maximum ka-pow!”

CLUB

nytheatre.com

E BE

The Last Temptation of Clarence Odbody restores the dark undercurrent of the Van Doren Stern’s short story “The Greatest Gift” to the uplifting plot of Capra’s film, and explores how the familiar characters in it might respond to the dire circumstances created by George Bailey’s disappearance from their lives. The paths of an introspective cab driver, a ruthless henchman, and a wayward daughter collide nearly twenty years later in the town that defined their reputations for better or for worse.

“John Jughead Pierson's strength as an artist is his seemingly endless ability to find new worlds of meaning in the simplest, most familiar ingredients--it — used to be three chords and an attitude; in this new book, it is a plot we all think we know and are sick to death of--and, thanks — to his passion, humor, and soul, make it all seem utterly fresh, absolutely vital, and like something we cannot live without. It was a joy to read. ” — Jim DeRogatis, rock critic, author, co-host, Sound Opinions “I've always loved John's mind. Almost more than John himself. It's a mind that you can trust and be fascinated by what it makes his mouth say and his body do. You won't be disappointed by this fascinating piece of work.” — Dino Stamatopoulos, writer for Mr. Show, Morel Orel, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole ISBN 978-0-9815643-3-3
