One of my favorite foreign dishes is Pakistani ginger chicken. It's not the healthiest food out there, but it's delicious and relatively easy to make (although it takes some time, so if you're serving it as a dish, make it in advance). Here's the recipe for it (courtesy of NicePakistan.com)

Ingredients
• 1 lb chicken (breast off the bone)
• 3 inch long piece of ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon plain yogurt
• 4 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon garam masalah

Directions
• Cut the ginger into matchstick-like pieces (3 inches long, 2 mm thick)
• Mix garam masalah, black pepper and salt into yogurt
• Heat the oil and purt the yogurt mixture in and stir/fry until the water of the yogurt has boiled away and you can see the oil
• Add the ginger sticks and stir/fry for 10 minutes
• Add chicken pieces and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over the chicken
• Cover the pan and leave it to cook for 15 minutes
• Stir the chicken thoroughly and cook for further 10 minutes
• Stir it carefully (or turn the chicken pieces over), leave the lid off and let it cook on a low light for 10 minutes

Sounds delish and easy. What's garam masalah?

Basically it's a mixture of spices that is commonly used in Indian food. I'm pretty sure you can also buy it pre-made by McCormick.
