Raw Indian Foods?

[JoJo]

I love cooked Indian foods. I haven't seen any raw Indian recipes anywhere. Does anyone have any recipes to share or links?

Thanks, JoJo

JoJo,

Alissa has some recipes in her book that emulate Indian food. But what I've been doing lately is finding cooked foods that I really love, and brainstorming how to rawcreate them. :) Like Palek Paneer. You could make raw cheese, and puree baby spinach with a creamy cashew curry, perhaps? I find myself thinking of more and more ways to make the foods I loved cooked even better raw. It's limitless!

Thanks for the help. I am going to try both of your idea. Maybe order one set of recipes to get me started.

These samosas are supposed to be really good.
I too have been searching for good raw Indian food and not found any except this.

There was a picture in the photo thread of curried cauliflower on greens and somebody else made curried kale.

I made onion bhajis from the book Eat Smart Eat Raw by Kate Wood, but maybe I did them wrongly - they were nothing like bhajis.

I tried this and didn't really like it -

Brigitte Mars' book Rawesome has some Indian things in it.

[Bethanie]

for Indian flat bread?
I've seen it on television and it can be used to hold a filling and fold up.
It would be great for trips or to take for lunch.

I was thinking today about raw Indian food, because Indian is one of my favorite cooked foods. How about a dehydrated Dal burger? Sprout some lentils, mix up with some other veggies and spices, dehydrate and top with Alissa's Indian sauce? Could be good...

We just had Indian food last night for supper... Deeeelish!

Samosas (it was Diana Stoevelaar's recipe but I agree with Bobbie, RFRW's posted on GreenChefs is awesome too!), curried broccoli, parsnip and cauli rice with Richard Salome's Curry sauce (to LIVE for!). Actually, I think it's the one Lana is referring to. Anyway, here it is:

Curry Sauce
8 servings

1 cup almonds, soaked 12-24 hours, blanched
16 ounces purified water
2 medium sized Fuji apples, cored & diced
1 cup raisins, unsoaked
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
2 tablespoons Braggs or to taste
1 medium sized ripe banana

Place the almonds in a blender and add enough water to cover them. Blend until creamy.

Add curry, flax oil, banana, Braggs and process for 20 seconds.

Then add apples and raisins by hand.

Pour sauce over veggies, stir well and place in dehydrator, covered, for at least 2 hours until warm to the touch, below 112 degrees.

This is a rich dish, and makes a wonderful thanksgiving dish or for a special occasion.

I actually took a pic that I'll upload on the photo thread tomorrow...

Oh yeah, there's also Russell James who has what looks like an awesome spinach masala. I haven't tried it yet but everything else of his I've made so far has been incredible. The recipe is posted on his blog here:

Garam Masala Gobi (The Raw Version)
by Chef Joel Odhner of RawLifeLine.com

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower cut into bite size pieces
1 cup brazil nuts
1/4 cup olive oil
lemon to taste
3 T garam masala
pinch of cayenne
1 bunch cilantro for garnish
Directions
Place bite size pieces of cauliflower in large bowl. Blend nuts, oil, lemon, cayenne, salt, masala until smooth. Toss cauliflower in sauce and place in a dehydrator 1-2 hours. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Don't have a dehydrator? Use your oven! Place temp settings on low and open the oven door every so often to cool the dish down. Use an oven thermometer to monitor temperatures to try and stay lower than 120 F.

Sorry can't get my computer to show me the address bar to copy/paste address. Maybe a geek here can email me privately to fix this challenge. Ie 6.0. Thanks.
