Lahori Chicken Curry with Whole Spices and Potatoes (12/30/07)

The recipe is from this book.

Original Recipe:
4-pound chicken cut into 8 to 10 pieces and skinned
2 medium red potatoes, peeled and quartered
3/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt
1 1/2 medium onions, roughly diced
5 garlic cloves
2-inch piece fresh ginger, pelled and cut in half
3 tbs oil
1-inch piece cinnamon stick
12 cardamom pods
9 whole cloves
10 black peppercorns
3 whole dried red chiles
1 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 fresh hot green chile, cut in half
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2 tbs tomato paste
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lemon

Combine the chicken, potatoes, 1/2 tsp of turmeric, 1/4 tsp of cayenne and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl and stir to coat the chicken and potatoes. Let stand while making the sauce.

Put the onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor and finely mince. Set aside.

Combine 2 tbs of the oil, the cinnamon stick, cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns, red chiles, coriander and cumin in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the cinnamon unfurls, 1 to 2 minutes. And the minced onion mixture, the green chile and 1 tsp salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon and green chile, stir in the remaining 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp cayenne. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor blender and puree until smooth, set aside.

Heat the remaining 1 tbs oil the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and potatoes and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the yogurt 1 tbs at a time and stir well after each addition. Once all the yogurt is mixed in cook, stirring for another 2 minutes.

Add the pureed tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Stir in the water. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Stir about every 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce. Stir in the cilantro and lemon juice. Taste for salt and serve hot.

Changes I made: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and only made a half recipe.

This was good, not real spicy, but it does have a bit of a bite.

This fried tofu recipe caught my eye because of it’s creative use of nutritional yeast as a breading. It added a great flavor to this simple and quick recipe.

Nuremburg Potato Salad

The recipe is from this book.

2 lbs potatoes

3/4 cup diced bacon (1/4 lb)
3/4 cup minced yellow onion, divided
1 1/2 tsp flour
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/3 cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp celery seed

Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover and 2-3 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 – 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced. Drain and leave to cool.

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices and put them into a large bowl.

Add the diced bacon to a small pan over medium heat. Cook until bacon just begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions are tender but not browned

In a small bowl stir together the flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the vinegar and the water. Stir until smooth. Taste and add more vinegar if not tart enough.

Add the mixture to the bacon and onions and simmer over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minues.

Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes and mix to coat the potatoes. Add the remaining onion, the parsely and celery seed. Mix to coat evenly.

Serve hot or cold.

I used the full 1/4 cup of vinegar and omitted the celery seed, as I didn’t have any. I ate some of it hot, but suspect it will be better the next day cold.

Next Day: I liked this even more cold for lunch.

The finished product, ready to be eaten. The recipe is here.

I had enough ground lamb for a recipe and a half, which should have covered 6 eggs, but was only enough for 5 and a small meatball.

I didn’t really deep fry them either. I used a method that Alton Brown used to fry chicken.

The lamb was very good, as were the eggs, but I don’t know if I would go through all the trouble to encase the eggs, but I would make meatballs out of lamb and spice mixture.
