Indian Spiced Squab Food

INDIAN-SPICED SQUAB

Steps:

• Combine the spices and the yogurt in a small bowl. Stuff the cavity of each squab with 1 piece of onion, 2 pieces of lime and 4 sprigs of cilantro. Dry the outside of the squab and rub the skin all over with the yogurt mixture. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the squab in a roasting pan and tie the legs together to close the cavities. Roast until the juices run slightly pink when pricked with a fork in the thickest part of the leg, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove the string and place 1 squab on each of 4 plates. Serve with Basmati rice.

INDIAN SPICED GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan or wok, sizzle the cumin and mustard seeds for 1 min, then add the chilli, ginger and turmeric. Fry until aromatic, then add the greens, a pinch of salt, a splash of water and the peas.
• Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 mins until the greens have wilted. Add the lemon juice, ground coriander, half the fresh coriander and half the desiccated coconut, then toss everything together. Pile into a serving dish and scatter with the rest of the coconut and coriander.
