Starting Out Sweet: Indian Spiced Oatmeal

Recently, I was asked by a lovely friend of mine if I would post some Indian themed recipes, of course I was happy to oblige, especially since I myself loooove Indian food! It's so flavorful and fragrant, what's not to love?

I was still up north when I got her request and spent the remainder of my vacation researching and planning out recipes. Originally I figured I would make one or two things but I found soooo many amazing looking dishes that I couldn't help myself.

So dear Rachel, here is a week of Indian themed recipes!

As always, lets start things out with breakfast, this recipe is one I played around with myself, I love love love spices, so this is by no means traditional, just me playing with some awesome Indian flavors.
