Chicken Vindaloo is on the menu this week. Once again we got our tasty recipe from the now famous www.curryfocus.co.uk website. Here is a link to the actual recipe if you would like to try it yourself.

It took a bit longer than usual as there was a fair amount of time spent creating the Vindaloo Paste however the outcome was worth the effort. I had a bit of a problem when cooking the onions, it says to cook them until they are brown and crisp before blending them however the more I cooked them the soggier they became!

Here is the finished product..

Balti Chicken - Cooked by Yours Truly

This week we have chosen a tasty Balti Chicken from the www.curryfocus.com website. This dish is quite low on calories and fat content, perfect after all the rubbish we have been eating over the holiday period.

First of all I heated up the oil and added the chopped onion to it, then stirred in tomato and peppercorns, cardamoms, cinnamon stick, chilli powder, garam masala, garlic paste and ginger paste. This was then heated up for 5 minutes or so.

Next the chicken was added and cooked on quite a high temperature for 5 minutes.

The last steps involved adding yoghurt and simmering for 10 minutes, after this the remaining spices, coriander, lime and chopped up green chilli were added, before serving.

The end result very tasty, and healthy as well!
