Welcome to Paneer Avenue


Pioneer Avenue in Artesia, CA might as well be named Paneer avenue. This was the most fantastic Indian experience of our adventures yet. The green chili pepper samosa Lisa describes is pictured to the right. Talk about a burn that stays with you. 5 hours and the memory of this dish is still emblazoned in my mind. The coating was pleasant, nicely spiced and not oily at all. The peppers held their heat and were crispy - they actually snap when you bite into them; how these guys do it is a mystery. One can find any of the freshest ingredients, grains, spices, etc. to prepare an authentic regional fare. Our Son is pictured with his fresh coconut find. Sadly we did not meet the specs for the local PBS casting call notices posted near the spice and candy shops we visited upon (they are also pictured). We are thoroughly energized for a sound week of cooking and writing.

L'Chaim (to life)
