Acorn Squash Stuffed With Lamb & Curry

Mon, 08 Dec 2003 20:01:22 -0500

This recipe is from "Apple Companion", which I found at Amish Acres in the heart of Indiana's Amish country. If you ever have a chance, pick up a copy of this cookbook!

Curry Eggs over Rice (For Leftover Hard Boiled Eggs)

Tue, 06 Apr 2004 19:59:53 -0400

A delicious main dish that uses up those leftover hard boiled eggs from Easter. The lady who prepared this on the show said that her mother used to make this dish often during Lent. I adapted this recipe from one I saw on "Calling All Cooks" on Food Network. This recipe halves beautifully. This is not a particularly spicy dish, just rich in flavor. (Note:There is no curry powder in this recipe - you are essentially making your own blend using various spices.) -- posted by HeatherFeather

Lamb Korma

Tue, 31 May 2005 13:19:00 -0400

A wonderfully tender lamb dish adapted from "A Taste of Asia" cookbook. A great curry that has become a favourite in our household. Korma's are not "saucy" curries. Prep time doesn't include 1 hour marinating. -- posted by Fairy Nuff

Curry Chicken With Applesauce

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 14:23:53 -0400

If you are a curry lover, then this is a recipe that you will really like. The sauce can be made a day ahead and chilled, just rewarm on top of the stove, and add in the chicken, peas, sour cream and coconut milk, simmer and serve. Actually, the sauce is even better if prepared a day ahead as the flavors will intensify. You can also make this with skin on or off chicken pieces, but increase the cooking time. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Balti Fish Curry

Thu, 09 Mar 2006 21:12:25 -0500

Posting this for my brother from a book recommended by Kookaburra. Australian Womans Weekly Asian Meals in Minutes. The orginal recipe doesn't add salt but with fresh coriander I like to add a bit of salt. I also increased the garlic from 2 to 3 cloves and the coconut cream from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. -- posted by Jewelies

Unday Mutter Curry (Eggs and Peas)

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:05:41 -0400

The best Egg & Pea curry I have ever had. My Mother has been making this dish since I was as young as I can remember. Out of all the dishes that my mother makes, I would choose this all the time. Its best served with roti's/chapatti's, but it tastes just as good with white bread that has been slightly toasted or hot pitta bread. -- posted by Muzz Khan

Another version of the recipe that I posted, before. This version has no lemon juice so is smoother. The use of ghee helps give the dish a touch of class. This version is for STARDUST. So try it and post me another review. Please. -- posted by Brian H

Badam Pasanda

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:32:57 -0500

This is a truly superb SUPERB curry, very much in the top league. The use of yogurt, cream, and ground almonds combine wonderfully with the spices to make a medium hot dish. You'll cook this time and time again. -- posted by Brian H

Wonderful Veggie Curry

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 14:43:18 -0500

The key to this curry is to let the vegetables retain their bright color. The sweet potatoes soften to make the sauce thick and luscious. And the spices are delish. Adjust them to suit your taste buds :-) (This makes a huge amount; I usually half it.) -- posted by White Rose Child

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:00:07 -0500

A rich, thin spicy yoghurt gravy for mutton or chicken, originally derived from the Avadhi section of Jiggs Kalra's excellent book. The original recipe has mutton, but I modified it for the more easily available chicken, accommodating the lighter taste and quicker cooking times. -- posted by Shanky

Curry Chicken

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:32:21 -0500

A friend of mine from college helped me make this dish, although I was looking for something more spicier, this turned out to be very tasty. He knew I liked curries and he being from Pakistan - who better to teach me. Now every time I make this dish I remember my good friend Ahsad Khan, God rest his soul, he passed away in 94. -- posted by Mr Dan1960

Kashmiri Chicken, Cardamom and Saffron Pilau: Spiced Indian Rice

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 19:19:22 -0400

A wonderfully fragrant and spiced Indian chicken dish, with saffron and cardamom studded rice. This has become a popular and much loved family recipe; an Indian friend who was studying Art with me many years ago, used to make this for all of us Art students every Saturday night; she finally shared the recipe with us before we all graduated! I have been making this for over 30 years now, and I have never changed a thing! Serve this with cool cucumber raita, sambals and naan bread, for a delectable "one Pot" Indian feast. NB: As one reviewer found out, if you use brown rice in this recipe, this adds considerably to the cooking time and you will need more liquid; brown rice takes longer to cook and takes about a third more liquid! -- posted by French Tart

Chicken in Green Masala Sauce

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:10:06 -0400

Chicken Karahi (Wok)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:20:55 -0400

A karahi (also spelled karai - both pronounced the same "ka-rai") is a type of thick, circular, and deep vessel (similar in shape to a wok). This is the Pakistani chicken dish that I most often prepare and was taught to me by the owner of a Paki restaurant. Like many of their dishes, it's spicy (but not necessarily hot) and takes quite a few steps to complete. But it's MORE than worth the trouble. I always serve with Roti -- posted by CelticBrewer

Chicken Korma (Curry)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:03:47 -0400

A variation on Indian curry, but using yoghurt instead of coconut milk. A deliciously spicy (but not hot- unless you want it to be) dish. One of my favorite Paki dishes as taught to me by the owner of a Pakistani restaurant. Serve with Roti and maybe a side of cucumber yoghurt. This recipe takes a while, has a lot of ingredients and steps, and bennefits from mis-en-place- but it's WORTH IT! -- posted by CelticBrewer

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

Murgh Handi (Spicy Chicken With Tomatoes)

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:47:05 -0500

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

Spicy Vinegar Chicken

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:17:44 -0400

I have always loved this dish, but hadn't tried making it myself until very recently. I remembered the taste from memory and used ingredients accordingly until i reached the desired taste. I was pleased with the end result. It is best when it is hot n' spicy. -- posted by Chef #1283098

Pakistani Style Bhindi Ka Salan (Okra/Ladyfinger Curry)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:55 -0500

Back in the days when I was a child every time my mother made this dish it was considered a treat among me & my siblings. Besides potatoes & peas, okra/ladyfinger is another all time favorite vegetable among the Pakistani population. It is usually served with roti/chapatti & yogurt or sometimes with Masoor Dal (lentil) here is the recipe of a basic okra curry that was passed down from my grandmother to my mom & down to me. Its the tomatoes that give it a different taste compared to the other recipes posted so far. Note if you want to make "Bhindi Gosht" (Okra curry with mutton) after frying the onions add mutton, let it cook on medium low heat for 20 minutes, then follow the rest of the recipe. You can also add 1/2 cup water to make it a little saucy. -- posted by Bint e Naeem
