Having a very tame food background has made new eating experiences very eye opening for me. Growing up we ate traditional Midwestern fare. Lots of meat and potatoes. Spaghetti, casseroles, and the like. As I traveled and experienced more of regional world cuisine I couldn’t get enough. One of the most surprising “likes” for me was Indian food. I guess I always thought it would be too spicy. Certainly some items have a kick but overall I really enjoy the mixture of flavors and spices. The intricacy of layers of flavor. It’s also not as difficult to cook as some people think. Even my kids gobble up chicken tikka masala!
I use a variation of Bobby Flay’s Chicken Tikka Masala.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt (Fage is great)
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground corriander
2 tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp ground cardamom
2 tsp cayenne powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger powder
1 med onion chopped finely
3 large tomatoes inside grated or 1 lg can crushed tomato will work
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
salt
1/4 c unsalted butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
