I couldn't find a satisfying slow cooker recipe for curry chicken, so I decided to create my own, combining the best parts of several recipes.

Chip Shop Curry Sauce

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:27:19 -0400

In the Northern part of England it is very common to go to a fish and chips shop and order chips with curry sauce. The curry sauce you get in chip shops is different from the sort you would get on an actual curry at an Indian takeaway. It tends to be a bit sweeter and considerably more mild in spicy heat. People eat it either poured all over their chips (ie steak fries) of in a pot on the side where they dip their chips. I found this version on a blog and it sounds very close to the type I enjoy. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Indian-Spiced Tomato Soup

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:47:12 -0400

Summer soups using garden bounty are just the best - especially when they are full of interesting flavors but not heavy with fats & starches that leave one feeling hot & heavy after consuming. This recipe strikes me as a delightful alternative to gazpacho & I plan to use robust & assertive DelMars & Chesapeakes & Old Brooks to make it. Zing, pop, wow - for a light but satisfying summer lunch or supper. From Sunset magazine. Allow at least an hour (up to a day) for the soup to chill & the flavors to marry. -- posted by Buster's friend

Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:49:22 -0400

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition.

I made this potato salad just now and the hot-pink colour immediately reminded me of the neon brighness of Bollywood films. :-) Although I didn't put any curry powder into the dressing today, I will do so soon, as I love curried potato salads - and the Bollywood of the title would be slightly more justified. ;-) -- posted by evelyn/athens

Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes/Yogurt-Spice/Sesame Seed Crust

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:05:47 -0400

If you want to study the art of meatless barbecue, India is the place to do it. So says Steve Raichlen in his Globe-Trotter Guide to BBQ.This nation of more than a billion people has more vegetarians than there are people in the USA. Over the centuries, Indian grill masters have evolved a higly sophisticated style of vegetarian barbecue - dishes bursting with flavor (not to mention dairy and grain proteins). Their grilling is so complex and satisfying, you'll never miss the meat! Tandoori "aloo" potato - turns up at grill parlors throughout northern India. The best Raichlen has ever tasted came from the landmark restaurant Moti Mahal in Delhi, the potatoes were packed with cheese, slathered with spice paste, and crusted with sesame seeds. What's not to like? If unable to find the yogurt for some reason, place regular yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain & voilá! Bon Appetit Magazine, July 2009 edition. There are cooling times that vary - depending on when you serve these wonderful potatoes.:) -- posted by Manami

Spiced Indian Cauliflower Soup

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:42:27 -0400

Taken from the Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook, Roz Denny, 1994, Anness Publishing Ltd., page 18. This soup has a GREAT flavor and creamy texture, but doesn't have the fat that cream or half and half has. Makes a great first course or light meal. I am going through boxes and boxes of old cook books and RecipeZaar-ing my fave recipes... then I will take the cookbooks themselves to Goodwill. Back 15 years ago when I first used this recipe, vegetable stock was unheard of in the area I was living. Now I can find vegetable stock easily. I'm going to be making a lot more of this soup. -- posted by lolsuz

I Love Palak Paneer (Spinach and Cheese Curry)

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:08:56 -0400

This luscious spinach and cheese dish comes from Northern India, the home of paneer, a fresh cow-milk cheese similar to ricotta. It's sold near the feta and haloumi in supermarkets, either of these two cheeses can replace paneer here, but the results wont be exactly the same. When I made this, I did use a soft feta, which melted into the spinach and gave me the most creamy rich curry you can imagine. I also upped the amount of the garam masala, to give a hotter result, and I sauteed some shrimps in garlic and butter, and served them with the curry, we enjoyed an excellent meal! The recipe is taken from Australian Womens Weekly, New Curries UPDATED to add ( thank you Peggy :) ), that previously step 2 said to add half the spinach at that step, I've changed it to say, add all the spinach. -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week.

I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Easy Punjabi-Style Chickpea and Potatoes

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:06:25 -0400

I came up with this when I was in the mood for spicy potatoes, and immediately thought of my favorite side dish at the Jackson Diner buffet. This is a great sidedish but I also like it as a main meal too, with some rice or naan. Green peas would work in this recipe too, either as a third main ingredient or to replace the chickpeas, but I love the richness of the chickpeas and couldn't get over not only how close it was to Indian restaurant quality, but also how simple and quick it was to make! By accident better yet! You'll find it hard to believe it's homemade and from canned food better yet. The taste is very hot and spicy, and what I love the most is the way the kick sneaks up on you after a minute! :) Important note-- I created this dish by accident so I just ballparked the spices before tweaking measurements. This yields about 4 cups (I'd have about a 2-cup serving with one more leftover for the next day), so if you're planning on a potluck, larger amount to cook for your family, OAWC/OAMC, etc. you might want to use the multiplier on here to figure out the correct proportions for the ingredients. -- posted by the80srule

Eggplant Curry "no-Fry" Sri Lankan Style Using Coconut

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:26:07 -0500

Another recipe courtesy of the great Madhur Jaffrey. I'm often looking for new eggplant dishes, and can't believe I haven't tried this particular recipe until today, it's really very easy. From what I've read, traditionally in this dish the eggplant would be fried - in this version it is broiled which obviously cuts down on the calories quite substantially. I also used light coconut milk. I only had one eggplant on hand today and it turned out great, a nice side-dish or main for 2. I can imagine that by using two regular eggplants you would be able to serve at least 3, if not 4, as a main. Next time you run across good looking eggplants in the store, pick a few out and give this a try! (One last note, apparently the original version of this normally calls for 2 tsp of cayenne...wow, that would be hot. 1/2 tsp, as called for here, was just about right for us, but of course, season away as you like!). -- posted by magpie diner

Yum Yum Chicken Curry

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:18:31 -0500

We made this last night and it was fantastic; it came from a recent magazine recipe, but we made some changes (per reader feedback) and I wanted to jot down how I did it - it was very, very good, but keep in mind - you can't forget the lemon. It wasn't as good til we added lemon (which was supposed to be in there but I forgot). It is fairly spicey, I would adjust spice levels to taste. Also, serve this over basmati rice. -- posted by larchie

These Kofta balls contain seasonings which are reminiscent of Swedish meat balls, instead of the Indian spices found in the original recipe. The great thing about these Kofta balls is that my 3-year-old son eats them, and normally, he won't touch veggies. Everything tastes good when it's fried! Although these kofta balls are fried, they are not greasy at all. To start, You will need about 1 liter canola oil (expeller pressed, or other oil for deep frying). -- posted by Lance Kimber

Lentils With Potato and Cabbage

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:11:34 -0500

I created this simple but tastey side dish to accompany a curry. The use of precooked lentils reduces the cooking time. All good curries deserve a dish of lentils as a side dish to compliment the curry and add another flavour while bulking out the meal. This dish can be used as a soup if you add a stock cube or two and more water. -- posted by Brian H

Spicy Tomato, Lentil & Coconut Soup from Saffron Restaurant,

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:28:03 -0500

This amazing soup is from the highly acclaimed Saffron restaurant in Arrowtown, NZ. It is absolutely delicious with naan!! Notes: The recipe calls for Star Anise, however I usually substitute fennel seeds.. I also use coconut oil instead of peanut and 3 cans of tomatoes if I don't have fresh. If you can't find Palm sugar, try brown sugar. Enjoy! (^^) -- posted by Mellowpuff

Mixed Vegetable Masala

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:28:09 -0500

This is a simplified version of a basic vegetable curry. It's hearty and filling, reasonably spicy but not overpowering. If you are feeling decadent upgrade the coconut milk to full fat. ;) -- posted by Radivu

Low Calorie Indian Curry

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:49:06 -0500

A low calorie curry. --- This recipe is adapted from a traditional Aloo (cauliflower) curry. I've done quite a bit of tweaking and experimenting to make it tasty without the oil / butter / nuts / etc that are normally in Indian curries. --- For anyone wishing to experiment further: - the small amount of oil is necessary to cook the spices (otherwise it just won't taste right). - the saute-ing and roasting adds a lot of extra flavour without any extra calories. - the tomato / onion / carrot paste adds thickness to the curry - the carrot adds sweetness - the stock & spices all add flavour without calories. Feel free to experiment with different spices. - the long simmering is important to add depth and subtlety to the flavour. - if the curry tastes bitter check: Did you burn any of the spices? (turmeric especially burns easily if you fried it, and the garam masala step can be quite tricky). Did you cut the ends & skin off the onion? Did the onion get sauted? - Add some honey to counteract any bitter taste. -- posted by Miriam B

Chicken Korma

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:11:26 -0500

Adapted from The Spice Cookbook. We made it with turkey and it worked very well. A "korma" is one of the many forms of curry. Not very spicy - increase cayenne if desired. Adjust amount of water in the sauce, depending on how big your skillet is; you'll need enough to be able to properly cook the cauliflower. After the first 20 minutes of cooking, it only requires minimal attention. We recommend serving this with Basmati, a good rice used in Indian food. -- posted by Da Huz

Vegetable-Packed Indian "cornbread"

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:53:17 -0500

I don't really know what to call this. It doesn't have corn anywhere in it, but the first several times I made it, that's what my husband and I both thought of. It's my slight variation on a recipe called "Tarkari Handi" from the awesome cookbook "Laxmi's Vegetarian Kitchen" by Laxmi Hiremath. It's a delicious vehicle for getting LOTS of vegetables in. Bonus - it's gluten-free and free of all the other irritants my husband can't take on his anti-inflammatory diet. -- posted by kitchengrrl

Kadhi Pakora / Pakoras

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:25:06 -0500

At the local Indian market, they have a small, vegetarian "cafeteria-style" lunch/dinner counter that we go to as often as we're able. One of my favorite dishes there is a yogurt curry with pakoras swimming in it. Pakoras are a snack made with, in this case, veggies dredged in a chickpea (besan) flour batter and then deep fried. I've been on the hunt for a good kadhi pakora recipe and found this keeper. Just don't use thick, Greek style yogurt like I did; you want more of a soupy consistency rather than what my photo shows. You can vary the veggies you use here. Try onion strips, spinach and even paneer, Indian cheese. Adapted from a recipe at http://www.indianfoodsite.com/. Enjoy! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Vegetable Samosa

That's the beauty; you can make Samosas in so many different ways. Each cook adding their own different signatures to a time honored basic Samosa Recipe. Samosas are cheap and easy to make.
