The Festive Foodies are having a Chili Cook-Off.......
Ashley of Cheese Curd in Paradise invited us to help her celebrate National Chili Month.  We love chili around here and I have joined in this event for the past few years sharing  Leftover Roast Pork Chili, Chicken Chili in a Slow Cooker, Steak Fajita Chili.

October is Chili Cook-Off Month! We have delicious recipes from across the country to get your chili making to the next level of deliciousness!

#ChiliCookOff is an annual blogging event that is hosted by Ashley from Cheese Curd In Paradise



Indian Spiced Chili

My Fall 2021 issue of Cuisine at Home featured recipes from the cookbook I Cook in Color by Asha Gomez.  This recipe is adapted from the first of 3 that they shared.

This chili is unique in the flavors used.  It is deliciously different from any other chili I have had.  I invited my neighbors over to join us and Tom said it was the best chili he had ever tasted.  That is quite high praise.

Frank enjoyed it as well but said that he still prefers my go to chili that I have been serving him from before we were married over 30 years ago.  That makes me happy as well because it is such an easy and quick recipe to make up when I'm stumped at what to put on the menu.

Tonight we are going out to a dinner show featuring Paul Anka.  We saw him years ago in Vegas and it was a nice show so I am looking forward to that.  Tomorrow night we are having a dinner party with the group of friends that went to Curacao with us last month.

Wednesday night we are meeting Amy and Doug for dinner, Thursday Nic and Pierre are coming for dinner and Friday night all the neighbors are coming for a dinner gathering.  I am sharing my Weekly menu with you under which you will find the recipe for this wonderful chili.

  3. I love how versatile chili is, as it can accept any number of innovative spices. Your garam masala sounds like a winner in here...I would love to try this spooned over half a fluffy baked potato. YUM !

  5. Thanks for all the chili recipes! I bookmarked quite a few. Makes me long for a restaurant that went out of business, Chili My Soul. They would have a ton of chilis to choose from every day and you could sample them first.
