Entrées I like to cook

An inchoate list of entrées I like to cook for my family. I probably have the more impressive ones listed here :) These are in no particular order. I make them all from scratch with no preservatives, hardly any canned food or spice mixes.
  1. Pan-seared Lemon Pepper Halibut Fillet with Sauce Parisienne and Parsley Potatoes
  2. Lamb Soup with chick peas and spring vegetables
  3. Kung Pao Chicken with medium-grain semi-sticky rice (Sushi rice without any seasonings)
  4. Oven-baked layered Biryani with Raita (Yogurt sauce with cucumber and tomatoes)
  5. Pepper steak with pan-fried fingerling potatoes and deglazing sauce
  6. Yogurtlu Kebap (minced-lamb kebab with yogurt-garlic and tomato sauces) with grilled pita bread
  7. Buttered rigatoni noodles with homemade French-style tomato (pasta) sauce with butter and garlic
  8. Chicken breasts à la Milanèse (Milan-style, with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese), with pan-fried potatoes
