(Although I'm not sure how it would have been different had I used seeds that weren't ground.)<br /><br />It was much spicier than I anticipated, though. :) We had to temper it a bit with some gluten-free bread and mango chutney. What would you recommend changing to tone it down a little?

I'm spoiled! I believe ground fenugreek seeds would, in fact, work - They should be the same spice, but ground (just make sure it's the seeds, not the leaves). I don't know what the substitution rate is but try putting an equal amount in and see how it turns out. Alternately, you can order fenugreek seeds online. I order spices online quite often because you can find harder-to-find spices, you can get good deals and you can sometimes buy in larger amounts. Good luck - let me know how it works out!ByTheBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-55895670600393915092006-12-17T16:33:00.000-05:002006-12-17T16:33:00.000-05:00I'm also having trouble finding fenugreek seeds......I'm also having trouble finding fenugreek seeds...

There is no good substitute I know of for fenugreek - You should be able to find fenugreek seeds at any Indian grocery store and most health food stores (I"m surprised Whole Foods didn't have it!) It is definitely important to the flavor of this dish, but I'm sure it would taste okay without.ByTheBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-60851449765517725682006-12-16T22:57:00.000-05:002006-12-16T22:57:00.000-05:00After finishing my four finals, and only having on...After finishing my four finals, and only having one paper to write, I managed to go to the store to get the ingredients. However, Whole Foods did not have any fenugreek seeds. Do you know what I can substitute for the fenugreek? An employee at the prepared foods counter said that fennel is the same, but I haven't found it cross-referenced on any sites.

It's possible to make a reasonable replica of any gluten-containing dish if you fool around with gluten-free flours enough. It's not as big a deal as it might seem. The gluten-free chapati was made from Pamela's Baking Mix and water. Kind of like pancakes but without the egg. I made a dough, pressed it out with my hands and browned it in a lightly olive-oiled cast iron pan. They weren't good enough to post the recipe. But I still enjoyed having something to scoop the curry up with.ByTheBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-68088298508451789472006-12-13T15:56:00.000-05:002006-12-13T15:56:00.000-05:00wow, gluten free chapati? how DID you manage that ...wow, gluten free chapati? how DID you manage that one? how was it? thankfully, i don't have gluten intolerance. {insert keyn aynhoreh here :P} i'd be a VERY UNHAPPY camper if i did. at least you're finding great recipes to get around it and sharing them with others. this dish is one of my favourites too, especially when made with ghee. but then everything is better with butter, huh?!? :-]burekaboy —https://www.blogger.com/profile/03880933508314903583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-56133042162321796292006-12-13T10:27:00.000-05:002006-12-13T10:27:00.000-05:00Actually Michelle I have at least one other terrif...Actually Michelle I have at least one other terrific recipe which I will post one of these days soon...

Since the last two times I've gone to eat Indian in MA - with my Triumph Dining Card - I've ended up getting glutenized, I've sadly had to avoid Indian (except one fabulous vegetarian kosher Indian restaurant in NYC and Amy's frozen mattar paneer).~Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022756326428884844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-56248384793267568162006-12-12T17:49:00.000-05:002006-12-12T17:49:00.000-05:00This looks fabulous and comes at a time when I nee...This looks fabulous and comes at a time when I need warming, comforting food!
