Taste of India Rub or Marinade

Chicken with asparagus, couscous and homemade raita.

Total time:  2 minutes for the rub, plus cooking time.

I like to use this one on chicken, but it can be used on tofu or pork, as well.

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

optional:
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil

Chicken with saffron rice, spicy peas, and naan.

Use the top five ingredients to make a rub, pan fry in oil of your choice.
Or add the remaining ingredients for a marinade, and let set in the refrigerator 20 minutes to 24 hours.
