I haven't tried this recipe, but I just wanted to say that I found it interesting that your mother named it "Hindu" considering there is beef in it.. :) It looks like a simple tasty recipe though...
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm finally posting recipes after years of using this site. I want to be able to access treasured recipes without lugging a ton of books south with me when I move to Lake Chapala in Mexico.
Recently retired after 35 years teaching Algebra to 8th graders. I learned to cook at my mother's knee (and Julia Child expanded my vision). She was a 1st generation Swedish-American. Christmas was when we immersed outselves in the Swedish culture and food. Many of the recipes I have recently posted are from her hand-written notes and recipes. My one real regret is that she would never write down the "juice" she used to make pickled herring.
Favorite cookbook? I have over 100 or so. I love reading recipes.
