In the last few years the rich and flavorful foods of India have come into Western culture with a bang. These delicious and exotic dishes always go better with the proper condiment, so here are a couple of authentic (and easy) recipes for you to try out at home.

Saffron and Nut Sauce for Kabobs

Kabobs are nothing new to Westerners, but putting a little kick into the same old tired meat and veggies on a stick takes just a little effort with this recipe. The aroma alone is enough to get the stomach in a hurry to have at it! This recipe serves 12.

Ingredients:

1/4 tsp saffron strands

4 tbsp boiling water

8 tbsp almonds (blanched)

4 tbsp pistachios (blanched)

2 tbsp ghee (or butter can be used)

1 1/2 cups cream

1 cup milk

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/2 tsp white pepper

Directions:

Dissolve the saffron in boiling water. Grind the pistachios and almonds (a blender works best!) until they become a fine powder or paste. Melt the butter in a pan and fry the ground nuts. Be sure to stir occasionally. Add in the saffron, cardamom, cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Simmer this until the sauce has become thick. You will want to be sure to stir it constantly as it simmers to keep it from burning. Serve with kebobs.

Basic Curry Sauce

Perhaps the trademark of Indian cooking is the curry sauce. There are many variations of this popular delicacy. This is the basic version that once perfected, will allow for a lot of experimentation by the home chef.

Ingredients:

4 oz ghee (or butter can be used)

4 lbs onions (finely chopped)

2 tsp cumin seeds

2 tsp salt

1/2 cup water

4 tbsp ground turmeric

3 tbsp oil

4 tsp garlic (finely chopped)

4 tsp ginger root (grated finely)

2 tsp chili powder (or to taste)

1 tbsp tomato puree with 4 tbsp water, well mixed

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large pan or double boiler. Add in the cumin seeds, onions, water, and salt. Cook the onions, covered, on low for about an hour, stirring occasionally. The onions should be transparent when finished. Remove the cover and cook over a medium heat until the onions have become caramelized and the sauce turns a brown-ish color. Stir in the tomato puree and water mixture as well as the turmeric. Heat the oil in the pan. Once heated, add the garlic and ginger and cook them over a medium-low heat. Stir constantly. Drain the garlic and ginger and add it to the sauce.

What you have now is a basic curry sauce that you can add pumpkin flavoring to or anything else your heart might desire. This is a pretty easy recipe and fairly inexpensive to make so repeating these steps for more stock will not break the bank or your back.

Enjoy your Indian sauces and remember that with Indian food adding the spices close to end of the cooking process will only give you a better tasting result.

Checking Under the Hood, and Under the Vehicle

Summer spring maintenance for the components under the hood and the vehicle makes your Mazda car ready for warmer weather as well as vacation travel.

It is good to consult first your Mazda repair manual before starting any car work so that you are assured that you are doing the right repair or maintenance. And then go under the hood.

The first to be inspected is the engine oil. On a flat surface, park your Mazda car and wait for a minute for the oil to settle in the oil pan. Pull the oil dipstick out; wipe it with a clean cloth; and then insert it back fully. Check the oil level by pulling the dipstick out again. It should be at least close to the “FULL” mark on the stick. If it is low, top it up using the same type of oil as you already have in the engine. The oil needs replacement if it appears too black. Change of season means change of oil which is necessary every three months or 3,000 miles. This will assure you that your car will be fuel efficient and run smoothly.

If needed, have you Mazda car tuned-up. If your car is brand new, the battery, charging and starting, engine mechanical, power train control - including onboard diagnostic check, - fuel, ignition and emission systems must all be included in the tune-up.

The transmission fluid also needs to be changes before a summer vacation. Warm up your car and park it on a level surface for you to check the fluid levels. Leave the engine idle by setting the hand brake in the Park Position. Remove the automatic transmission fluid dipstick. Wipe it and insert it again fully. To finally check the fluid level and condition, pull the stick out again. Take note that common transmission fluid is color red or pink-red when it is new. It becomes brownish with usage as it oxidizes. But if it appears too dark, better change it.

To unscrew the radiator cap, make sure that the engine is not hot. It is wise to change the cap if you see cracked or brittle rubber gasket inside the cap.

It is also important to check the level of coolant in the clear plastic overflow tank. It should be in between "Min" and "Max" marks. Check for possible leaks if the antifreeze level is far below the “Min” mark. You can top up the overflow reservoir using anti-freeze mixed 50/50 with water if the coolant level is just a bit lower. They need to be refreshed every two years.

The belts and hoses need to be checked for cracks, wear, glazing and proper tension. The electrical system, air conditioning and power steering, cooling system, fuel injection valves can be affected by a damaged belt. Any old hoses and those that feel spongy or hard should be replaced immediately. Belt problems are indicated by squeals as the engine accelerates or slows down, and rhythmic slapping sounds when the car is idle. Warm weather can induce breakage and leaks in weak hoses and belts so make sure to they are properly maintained.

The batteries also need inspection. If you see a white crust, remove it through scrubbing with an old toothbrush a combination of baking soda and water. Distilled water can top up any low battery cells. It is also important to ensure the tightness of the battery terminals and hold-downs. For the last part of inspection, test the battery.

The cabin air filter needs to be changed after the rain or if there are any dusts. As a sign of a filter that is overdue for a change, rotten odors are coming out of the air conditioning vents.

Now, it is the turn of those car components under the vehicle.

This season is the right timing for the check ups of the entire brake system.

The shocks or struts should also be checked for signs of physical damage, such as leaking, rusting, or dents. Signs that they need immediate replacements are: rolling or swaying of vehicle on turns; diving of the front ends; squatting of the rear end when accelerating; lowering of the vehicle in the front or rear; loss of directional control on sudden stops; bouncing or sliding away of the vehicle on winding or rough roads.

While the car is parked, you can do a quick check on these parts. Just push down each corner and then release. A serious car problem is implied by a bouncing for a while, instead of immediately returning to a resting position. You can also look inside the wheel to check if all four struts (shock absorbers) leak oil. If they do, they need a replacement.

If any fluid puddles or stains under your Mazda car is noticeable, have it professionally inspected. The antifreeze/coolant, battery acid, brake fluid, clear water, diesel fuel, engine oil, gasoline, gear oil, power steering fluid, shock and strut fluid, transmission fluid and windshield washer fluid are the fluids that can leak from your car that will eventually lead to severe car problem.

The key point here is checking your vehicle to endure the obstacles of summer driving.

97 Mitsubishi Eclipse (Turbo)?

My sister purchased a 97' Eclipse Spyder GST a few weeks ago. Her ex husband did his take of an inspection on the vehicle, which was very poorly done. My sister and I are currently trying to replace the old oil pan, since there is a leak and the bottom of it is dented in pretty good. Thing is, we are having one heck of a time trying to find a NEW oil pan for replacement. My question to you experts is this; Are there any other vehicle models from Mitsubishi that have the same oil pan? Also, since there is allot of internet gurus on here, are there any companies on the internet that would sell an OEM replacement pan, because I am having a very, very hard time finding one. They all seem to be the non-turbo version oil pans. So, if anyone out there can help a few car enthusiasts, it would be greatly appreciated.
