Milk Bread Pull-Apart Rolls
Asian milk bread, also known as Japanese milk bread or Hokkaido bread, is pillowy soft and buttery with a hint of sweetness. Tangzhong, the traditional Chinese technique of cooking flour and liquid (milk, water or a combination) into a paste and adding it to the dough when cooled, is the key to full, airy-soft, squishy buns that stay fresh longer. (You can also use this technique for cinnamon buns or hot cross buns.) These pull-apart rolls are a version of milk bread popular at Asian bakeries. The dough, with the addition of tangzhong, is supple and easy to work with. You can shape the rolls into balls or, for a little flair, twist them into knots. Use a round 9-inch cake pan, or similar pan, to bake the bread.

Tandoori Chicken
Believed to have originated in Iran but known by different names depending on the country, the tandoor is a clay oven used throughout South, Central and Western Asia to bake, roast and grill. Meats cooked in a tandoor are incredibly moist and tender; cooking on a grill or in the oven under the broiler can achieve similar results. Make incisions into the chicken to help the marinade really penetrate the meat. Lemon juice and yogurt help achieve the tenderness tandoori chicken is known for, while a combination of sweet paprika and Kashmiri chile powder give it its signature red hue. (The bright red hue you might see in some Western restaurants is achieved by adding red food coloring.) Serve with steamed basmati rice and cucumber cilantro raita.
