Best Ever Chicken Balti

This was so AMAZINGLY tasty.  I can't recommend enough trying this dish.  I plan on making and freezing the sauce just to have it on hand.  I can see it working with all kinds of proteins.  I know Indian food can be daunting, but this one is not only easy, but doesn't require lots of hard to find ingredients.  We ate it with naan and broccoli.  I can't stop thinking about it! I plan on giving some of the jars of sauce as a gift.

Best Ever Chicken Balti
 4 Servings

4    -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 t  chili powder
1 1/2 t  garam masala
1 t  minced garlic
3 T  tomato puree (I used a very plain jarred tomato sauce I had in the fridge)
2 T  Greek yogurt (10% milk fat!  Heck ya!)
2 T  chopped fresh coriander (that is cilantro to us in the US!)
2 T  mango chutney (I used major grey's mild)
1 t  salt
1/2 t  sugar
4 T  oil
2    green chilies,chopped (I used one jalepeno and one poblano with seeds and ribs removed)
2 T  single cream (I used heavy whipping cream:)
1Blend together the tomato puree, yogurt, garam masala, chili
powder, garlic, mango chutney, salt and sugar.
2Heat oil and add tomato mixture-cook for approx 2 minutes-stirring
occasionally.
3Add chopped chicken and a little cold water,and continue to cook until
chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally

minutes more. If the sauce is a little thick just add water to achieve
your preferred consistency

little tubs of it.

Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for...

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That w...

Ravioli In Mushroom-Walnut Cream Sauce

Image
I found this recipe in the to try file and it looked good, and was quick and easy. Perfect for meatless Monday. Now that mushrooms aren't a veto ingredient for my son, I was totally psyched to have this.  I searched for the source of this recipe, and i found it on the olive garden website. This wasn't where I got it from, but it read identical. While this wasn't an omg dish, I totally dug the heavy mushroom content.  I said 3.5. The boy, who still doesn't like mushrooms, said 2.5. My husband started out at rating it a 3, but when I saw him scraping his plate to get the last if the sauce, he agreed it was a 3.5.  I'm fully aware that my love and lack of mushrooms skewed me in favor of this dish. I made sure to stir the mushroom/walnut mixture. I was afraid it would burn the nuts. I think next time, I would start the mushrooms for a bit before I add the walnuts.  And the dish felt like it needed salt, until the end where it seemed all the parm was lurking, so I gu...
