Curried Chicken

curry chicken on rice garnished with raisins and peanuts

This is a recipe I have been making for several decades - though not often enough!

I’m writing this at the start of 2023 - motivated to catch up on blog posts that were neglected during the years I was doing resto reviews.

I mix my own curry from a recipe kindly shared with us by a friend with Indian heritage. I mix it in batches and always have some on hand. You can make it as spicy as you wish - and if you know me - that’s not spicy at all - haha!

Pulled BBQ Chicken

I find “pulling” pork to be a bit difficult/ tedious. Pulling chicken is easy. I like using the more tasty thigh meat.

The only thing you may not have on hand to make this is the bottle of liquid smoke, but it’s easy to find at most grocer’s. Serve these on the brioche-type buns. You can make this the day ahead!

Mulligatawny Soup

Mulligatawny Soup - sounds a bit exotic, but is also hearty and that's what we often like now that soup season is upon us. (Make it without chicken, and using vegetable broth, for a vegetarian treat.)

I'm sharing the recipe I use from the Podleski Sisters (aka Looneyspoons) Crazy Plates (1999). I have just recently acquired Greta's newest "baby" - Yum and Yummer - and will look forward to trying some dishes from there. Not only does the new book have photos of each recipe, but a link to a "how to" video - for each and every recipe!

Moroccan Chicken on Quinoa

A delicious meal using quinoa - ever popular partly because it is considered to be a protein and gluten-free.

The butter, honey, cinnamon quinoa pairs well with the Moroccan spices (cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, coriander) that flavour the chicken. You'll make this time and time again!

Curried Chicken Soup

Here's a quick curry soup. Although curry may evoke images of India, apart from using curry, I am not sure this would get a lot of check-marks as an Indian dish - but it's still yummy!

The original recipe used the term "madras curry",  however, "the name 'Madras Curry' is not used in India, but was invented by restaurants in Britain." (Wikipedia) I use my own curry mixture - try it! - and add more heat if you wish.
