Last night was a good good good meal. I have been off for about 6 days and my hubby has been working for those 6 days. Holy cow! I did so much stuff around the house and did so much yoga I should be chillin’ like a villain, and yet I plan edibles. I craved coconut and curry for days.
Coconut Curry Chicken Thighs. As he calls it – CCC…
above: in progress
I used Saffron. why? i don’t know. Can anyone really taste this? i spent 5 bucks on this wee packet that turned all of my Jasmine Rice yellow. Did i just pay 5 bucks for rice dye? i think i just paid 5 bucks for rice dye. curses.
any hooo – the end result was very yummy. coconut. curry – i can’t go wrong.
how it was done:
I marinated the bird bits in the coco all day. Then I mixed in curry powder into the remaining coco milk (the non chickeny stuff) and then I added the veggies of choice and the Indian spices. Most of the spices are pre-mixed. I’m far from being Indian and won’t fool myself into thinking that I can have a stash of perfect Masalas on hand. Seriously – I’m pure commonwealth.
No. I buy the Indian spices pre-made in small batches – check out your “international” section of the grocery store- this will vary on your geographic locale. If you’re in Guernsey, Wyoming, international might mean Romaine Lettuce (sorry – but it’s true) and in L’Orignal, it may mean lamb chops instead of pork, maudit.
Total dinner yumzers: CCC = flavour explosion. it’s the way i roll.
Oh – by the way, i have the 3 cutest cats in the world. although useless in the kitchen.
