Taste of Schenectady SPRING 2019
Spring is a time to commemorate the many sacrifices that Americans have made... Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military... It originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. By the late 1860s, Americans started decorating graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and prayers. As people of the world seek to find new ways to guarantee sustainability, environmentalists have been looking to food sources that are universally consumed. In this issue, we focus on food and recipe solutions for Hindus—dals and subzis and vegetables—and pastured goat meat for Christian, Muslim & Jew carnivores. The “shuk/souk” in Hebrew and Arabic respectively), is a vital part of Israel’s culinary and social ecology. Today, U.S. shuks tend to be found in a city’s medina (old quarter). In February 1948, the British handed over control of Palestine to the Vatican’s “Apostolic Delegation of Jerusalem” in Lebanon and Syria, which refused to recognize the new State of Israel from May 1948 until 1993. In November 2018, Israel’s Ambassador announced to the UN that the White House would roll out its much-anticipated Middle East peace plan in 2019. The Trump administration has cast the conference as an overture to its own plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Certified Food Protection Professionals (CFPP) like myself play a vital role for all people who seek sustainable food. U.S. troops have fought to ensure that global citizens have access to energy, food, medicine, shelter, safety and transportation of railways and transit—endangered by despots, terrorists, and tyrants. Enjoy the articles and recipes in this issue. But most importantly this Memorial Day and D-Day (June 6th), let’s not forget the commitment of our USA troops, who made the ultimate sacrifice—and our veterans—who fought Communism, Fascism and Nazism.

Subzi and Kashmiri Powder<br />
Chili powder is made from<br />
dried spicy red chilies that<br />
are ground. It is hot and is<br />
commonly used in Indian<br />
Subzi/Subza (vegetables).<br />
Kashmiri chili powder is<br />
very mild, and is made from<br />
milder dried chilies. Ground<br />
Kashmiri chilies instantly<br />
impart a vibrant red color to<br />
any dish with a hint <strong>of</strong> heat<br />
as well. Used preferably in<br />
British/Indian cooking.<br />
Instead <strong>of</strong> using food color<br />
that is <strong>of</strong>ten used to make<br />
Tandoori in many Indian<br />
restaurants, I use Smoked<br />
Paprika for intense smoky<br />
flavor and a natural red<br />
color. Kashmiri chili powder<br />
has 1,000 – 2,000 Scoville<br />
heat units. Kashmiri<br />
chili is typically used dried,<br />
as flakes or a fine powder.<br />
The color <strong>of</strong> Kashmiri blesses<br />
the food, bringing to life<br />
Punjabi curries, Tandoori<br />
Chicken, Mattar Gobi, and<br />
other Indian dishes. Jammu<br />
and Kashmir is a large region<br />
in the south- and southeast<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> Kashmir which is<br />
administered by India as a<br />
state. It is located mostly in the<br />
Himalayan mountains, and<br />
shares borders with the Indian<br />
states <strong>of</strong> Himachal Pradesh<br />
and Punjab to the south. The<br />
Line <strong>of</strong> Control separates it<br />
from Pakistan and China.<br />
To make Indian Subzi dishes,<br />
try spice combinations<br />
from our “EIC SPICE KIT”.<br />
MATTAR GOBI is Indian<br />
spiced shredded cabbage.<br />
PALAK PANEER is <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
prepared as spinach saag<br />
(pureed spinach served with<br />
Indian farmer’s cheese).<br />
