21.01.2022 What is Cardamom, and how is it best used in Indian Cooking? Here at Laughing Ganesha, we use cardamom in many of our dishes. It adds a wonderful aromatic flavour to sweet and savory food. For cooking at home, if you are looking for fresh cardamom pods here in Lane Cove, you can find them (and a host of other Indian spices), at Spices of Asia (139 Longueville Rd - near the library). For some inspiration - here are a collection of recipes with cardamom... http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/cardamom #cardamom #indiancooking #indianspices #inthecove #lovelanecove #supportlocal

19.01.2022 The sweet aroma of Cloves Paired with cinnamon, ginger, star anise and nutmeg, cloves are an essential part of the "Christmas Spice Mix". In the lead up to Christmas, you will often see cloves being used to decorate and flavour baked hams. Many Indian dishes use cloves for the strong, sweet aromatic flavour they impart, and they are also ground and used as part of Garam Masala. Cloves are dried up flower buds. The fully-grown, unopened buds, are picked green and dried in the... sun till they become dark brown and are ready to be used for culinary and medicinal purposes. TIP - Add 3-4 cloves when cooking onions in oil or ghee as a base for your next curry - they will add delicious flavour and aroma. #inthecove #laughingganesha #lovelanecove #indiancooking #indianspices

16.01.2022 Celebrate Diwali with us .... Each year, we have many questions from curious locals about Diwali, the "festival of lights". This year, Diwali is celebrated on 11 November, and is an ancient Hindu festival taking place in autumn (northern hemisphere) or Spring (southern hemisphere) every year. Diwali is one of the largest and brightest festivals in India -and spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil. Houses are decorated with lights and candles, where prayers and gi...fts are offered, followed by celebrations with family and friends. To help mark this festive occasion, we will be offering all evening diners complimentary sweets (gulab jamun and kulfi) after your meal from Wednesday 11 - Sunday 15 November. #diwali2015 #lovelanecove #inthecove In the Cove

15.01.2022 What is Indian Fusion food? Here at Laughing Ganesha, we pride ourselves in serving contemporary fusion Indian food, using the freshest ingredients in season. We use the term Indian fusion to describe how we adapt traditional recipes to suit our available produce, climate, location, and local tastes. Here in Lane Cove, wed had lots of great feedback on how many of our dishes are light, rather than rich, oily and stodgy. This is because where possible, we avoid using ghee (cl...arified butter), and instead use minimal amounts of vegetable oil, which gives a lighter and more healthy dish. Fusion cooking also means adapting our recipes to use local ingredients that otherwise wouldnt commonly be used in India. For example, lamb shanks, lamb cutlets, and veggies like corn and green beans. To retain freshness, many of these dishes are also cooked quickly in a wok. #inthecove #itc #lovelancove #indianfusion #indianfood #supportlocal #lovelanecove

15.01.2022 North Indian Food - The food around India varies greatly depending on the region, climate, and availability of fresh produce. North Indian cuisine can be characterised by the use of thick and moderately spicy gravies with curries, and the use of plenty of dairy such as milk, cream, yogurt (in both sweet and savory dishes) and paneer (a freshly made cheese). This region is home to tandoori roti and naans (bread made in a clay tandoor oven), stuffed parathas (flaky Indian brea...d with different kinds of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings) and kulchas (bread made from fermented dough). Rice is also popular and made into elaborate biryanis and pulaos (pilafs). Popular North Indian Dishes - Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Palak Paneer (spinach with fresh cottage cheese). Pop in to try a variety of regional cuisine at our weekly Sunday family buffet! #northindianfood #indianfood #inthecove #itc #lovelanecove #indianfood #laughingganesha #eatlocal
