Madhur Jaffrey Chicken Biryani

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 23:51:17 -0400

Biryani is perhaps one of the most elaborate rice dishes. Of Moghul origin, it is cooked with lamb or chicken, streaked with saffron, and garnished with raisins and nuts. The chicken is first marinated for at least 2 hours in a delicious paste of ginger, garlic, onions, yogurt, lemon juice, and spices. It is then cooked briefly. Partially cooked rice is placed over it, and the chicken and rice are allowed to steam for about an hour. Biryani is quite definitely not an everyday dish. It is served at weddings and important dinners. Try serving it at a late supper party. It was, and is, a dish worthy of a king. -- posted by Olga Drozd

Spinach and Pumpkin Curry

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:29:31 -0400

A vegetable curry which is far too spicy for me but which I believe many would enjoy. It's certainly full of nutrition. I found this recipe in a March 2005 issue of the magazine 'Fresh'. I've posted it here exactly as I found it. Although I have cooked such dishes, as a non-eater, I have no feel for them so am ill-equipped to modify them in any way, but I do hope that anyone trying this recipe will make it their own by adjusting it to meet their own taste preferences. And for a spot of culinary trivia: among the spices in this recipe is turmeric which - according to the notes accompanying the recipe - "has been called 'poor man's saffron' as it imparts a yellow colour at a fraction of the cost"! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Chickpea Curry With Pumpkin (Squash) & Baby Spinach

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:35:54 -0400

This is a simple, tasty stew. The original directions calls for a short cooking time, but I think I cut the pumpkin a bit chunkier and cooked it much longer when I made it. Just make sure you don't cook it so long that the pumpkin disappears! This also freezes well. -- posted by Gingernut

Spicy Indo- Pak Vegetable Curry

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:55:23 -0400

This curry uses the classic base for any good curry, and incorporates various vegetables. Eat fresh or even a day later, it tastes just as good. You can use other vegetables if you prefer. finish off and tone it down with a half cup of single cream or yoghurt: the choice is yours! -- posted by sherazade

Parsee Red Chicken Curry

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:14:01 -0400

Yummy and Fast sauce. It can be as spicy as you like this recipe has some kick. Use more seeds for more spice. If you can get dried Kashmiri-style chiles your sauce will be more authentic and red. The dish can be stored in the fridage for 4-6 days. It can be frozen as well. I always freeze the leftover sauce to use in a jam in the future. -- posted by 996676

Dal With Spinach and Yoghurt

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:25:22 -0400

I completely love this dal - it is so flavoursome and creamy and delicious! It's also my husband's favourite at the moment, so while the recipe makes a good amount, it tends to vanish quite quickly... I use channa dal to make this - feel free to use your dal of choice, but you would need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. -- posted by currybunny

A handi is an earthenware pot used for slow-cooking in Pakistan. Dishes made in a handi are famous for having a wonderful earthy flavour. I saw this recipe on a Pakistani TV show - it uses a traditional recipe for chicken handi, but for modern convenience is made in a regular karhai or wok. -- posted by Piya.HMO

Golden Chickpea and Potato Curry

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:49:24 -0500

This is based on a mild vegetarian curry I found online several years ago on a Seventh-Day Adventist website. I have also prepared it by adding an 8-ounce package of diced, baked tofu. It is excellent served either by itself or on a bed of cooked brown rice. It also can be prepared ahead of time, as the flavors improve if allowed to blend overnight. -- posted by doobtones #2

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 -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

Garam Masala Tomato Chicken Curry

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:01:15 -0400

I'm very fond of curries; I've made many. The first time I tried this, it was a bit on the spicy side but -more than that- suffering from too much liquid. The Garam Masala didn't really work with that amount of fluidity ... even when thickened. I realized the the spice blend needed to be hot, yes, but it also needed more natural sweetness and less liquid. This version achieved that, muchly. -- posted by David J Rust

It may date from as early as the 14th Century. Serve with rice, salad and veggie for a full meal. -- posted by Lauren4372

Aurora Curry

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:39:58 -0400

When I was little, we had an Indian exchange student staying with us, so at a young age, I developed a taste for curry. As I got older, I learned a few recipes from British friends, based on the British bastardization of dishes that qualify as curry. Over the years, after I moved to Alaska, I developed my own recipe based of what I learned. I decided to name it in honor of my new home. Ultimately, I like to think of it as an Alaskan Curry, though it's influenced by many cultures. The use of almond milk and or soy milk came about due to me being horribly lactose intolerant. I usually get a soy substitute for yogurt to top it with, but you can use the regular stuff if you want. -- posted by Arctides Regalis

Famous Goan dish, maybe you have eaten this while on your trip to India. Tender chicken in a wonderfully fragrant sauce. This is a medium curry, it could if you like take a little more chilli. If you don't have tamarind, the use of a quarter of a lemon will do. Sorry; but the photograph doesn't do the dish justice. -- posted by Brian H

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

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:38 -0400

This sticky, spicy chicken curry is deliciously sweet and packs just the right amount of heat. It is to be scooped up with warm, chewy naan, then licked off of fingers.Your first step is to hunt down some curry leaves. Their flavour is irreplaceable in this dish - a bit nutty, warm, and citrusy. Used a lot in South Indian cooking, they have nothing to do with curry powder which is a blend of spices.Start by browning the chicken in a heavy skillet - make sure the oil is good and hot and the chicken has been patted dry before you put it in the pan. Dont flip it until it releases easily - if it is sticking, leave it - it will tear if you try and turn it before it is ready. Next, cook the onions gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to coax out the sweetness. Then add the spices to the pan to saute before the liquid is added. These three steps have a big flavour impact. As far as curries go, the ingredient list is very short. Which makes it a great curry for beginners, if you can track down some curry leaves at an Indian grocer. Serve with naan http://www.recipezaar.com/Naan-56245 . -- posted by College Girl

Easy Chicken Tikka Masala

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:27:21 -0500

This is a classic dish, with wonderful flavor. If you don't have the whole spices, you can easily substitute ground/dried - 1 Tbsp whole = 1 tsp ground/dried. Lovely served over rice (we always use basmati) and served with flat bread. I like to measure everything and cut up the chicken before I get started. Even better - it's a 1 pot meal!

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

Just Right Spinach & Chickpea Curry (Vegan) - Chole Palak

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:58:39 -0500

I called this just right because it was just the right recipe for the amount of time I wanted to spend on cooking it, and it has just the right amount of ingredients, mainly pantry staples so I wasn't scrounging around for substitutes. I found this on www.manjulaskitchen.com ... she has some fabulous recipes, very easy to follow. I made her parathas as well, best ever for me. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Easy Peasy Red Thai Salmon Curry

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:00:05 -0500

Knocked this up for a dinner party last night, as a mild dish. Tasty and quick! This will vary tremendously depending on the curry paste you are using. Taste it first. If it's super-hot, you'll need to reduce the amount unless you want a hot curry. If this is the case, you may need to add in come more flavouring. I've tried successfully with a tin of red thai curry soup if you're going for the easy approach, otherwise add grated ginger, cumin, coriander and a splash of fish sauce and rice wine vinegar. Of course, there's plenty of more complicated recipes out there, and this one's supposed to be easy, so try to go for a curry paste that's tasty but mild. You can always add more chilies to boost the heat! -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra
