Note to all the awesome chefs on this site:
I’m not a chef, and know very little about cooking… with that said I just found something I thought was pretty tasty. I rubbed some chicken breasts with turmeric, garam masala, garlic powder, salt and pepper... grilled them and paired with a Firestone Union Jack IPA. Great combination of flavors! Loved it. Very easy to make.
Cheers.

Wait. Is what I did Indian food? Now I’m not sure.

Terrific combination! Union Jack is one of the most crisp, lightest IPA’s with a fresh orange taste and would compliment those spices very well. Youmade Inidan food, definitely.

The flavors are indicative of Indian cooking. The preparation method is a little different. Typically you would make a sauce and stew the chicken in it.
IPA’s will pair well with anything earthy and or spicy. Indian, Thai, Latin etc. The alpha acids in the beer will help the flavors balance when you taste it.
If you enjoy indian cuisine here are a few cookbooks you can use
"Indian Recipes" - Madhur Jafferys
"Savoring India"- WIlliams Sonoma
If you have a Whole Foods or trader joes in your area they sell easy to use Currys, masalas etc in packets. Thai as well. My favorites are some of the vegetarian ones actually.
