I posted this on another forum, hope you find it helpful:

I have always been intrigued by Indian curry dishes, having tried them in Europe. Tikka Masala and Madras are my personal favorites.

Anyways, I wanted to experiment with making my own version of it. I start with good quality boneless chicken thighs, which I like because they have more flavor and stay tender. I marinate the cut up thigh pieces in a mixture of Japanese soy sauce, Mirin, and toasted sesame oil. Let it sit for approx. 3 hrs.

After marinating, I add a bit of Rub with Love's "Chicken Rub" - this is made by the famous Seattle chef Tom Douglas (great stuff, you can find it at Whole Foods):


I brown the chicken pieces in a pan (I use Safflower oil); as you can see, there are a few Thai chili peppers there for a little extra flavor:



As the chicken starts to brown (inside still raw), I add some sliced Korean King Oyster Mushrooms (optional of course)



Meanwhile, I start heating up my Madras Curry sauce in a pot:



I'm sure if you made it by scratch, it would taste best, but I use British Chef Loyd Grossman's version, and it is pretty darn good IMO - you can check out the ingredients he uses here (no powdered ingredients):

http://www.loydgrossmansauces....adras/



When the chicken is browned sufficiently, I put it in the pot with the warmed up curry sauce, which is now on low heat and simmering:


Add some chopped carrots, mix thoroughly, and cover - simmer for approx. 15-20 mins.


At this time, add in chopped onions, these will cook down in 10-15mins - which is why you don't put them in at the same time as carrots


After the onions are done, I add in some organic green peas (just for color and texture), mix and take off the burner. Let sit (covered) for about 5 mins, and it will be ready to serve.

omggggg i swear this thread is like druggs man, u know its bad for ya but you keep coming backkkkkk omg so hungry now the curry look so damn good.

This thread has swelled since I last dropped by! samarie's still around posting her pretty creations, *waves*. I've had an S/N change, went by the S/N *ayu* and since I haven't posted after the name change, I thought I should now T_T

These pictures would only be familiar with the Singaporeans (probably the Malaysians too), since the stuff I cook are quite culture-specific (I tend to cook stuff that my mom cooks, whereas I bake rather diversely). This is the Indian Rojak, extremely popular with the locals here. Basically, it consists of a whole slew of sides that you dip into a gravy. The main items are deep fried tofu, fritters with prawns/crab meat wrapped inside, and fried, hot-dogs, green salad, fishballs etc. It is rather tedious to make, since there's so many sides to prepare and the gravy takes a long time to simmer





This was my dinner just 2 hours ago. lol.
