Chicken Biryani with Patak Curry Paste

March 10, 2010 by Ellen · 2 Comments 

At our local Indian grocery store, I found the Pataks Biryani Paste 10oz that Jamie Oliver mentions in his Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals. One jar makes 3 batches of curry with 1-2 pounds of meat in each batch, so plenty to feed 4-6 folks. Last night I made [...]

Vegetable Bhajis from Jamie Oliver’s Revolution

I think every cuisine I know has some sort of shredded vegetables fried together sort of thing. I’m thinking potato pancakes and I remember about reading about a Japanese dish, that is basically tempura vegetables but they are shredded and mixed up like this too.  These were fantastic and I didn’t even have all the [...]

Vegetable Jalfrezi Curry

I used a jarred sauce for this curry, which adds a bit to the cost but really simplifies the whole process. The basis of this came from Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals, as I keep mentioning in posts. I tend to like to cook a lot from a book [...]

I made some more great Indian curries the other night.

To the right is Vegetable Jalfrezi. 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1 inch [...]

I spent some time in a local Indian grocery store today and found the Patak Curry I wanted, but not the exact variation. Note that the link is to Amazon’s page of all the Patak curry paste. I am ready to order more!  They cost more than at my local grocer but they have all [...]

Chicken Korma from Jamie’s Food Revolution

This very mild curry has a creamy mild taste and will likely be quite acceptable to young children.  The book says you could also make this with shrimp! My daughter isn’t a huge fan of onions but she said they tasted good in this. I took my 15 year old to the bookstore today as [...]

Indian Dinner: Butter Chicken, Chickpea Curry, Potatoes and Lentils

I’m not sure if the latter dish qualifies as Indian or not. I got it from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food. I first served it at a family meal as a side dish for omnivores and a main dish for vegetarians. It was gobbled up by everyone! [...]

I made this for my dad’s 84th birthday as a side dish for those of us eating salmon and a main dish for those of us not. It comes from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food Everyone loved it, vegetarians and meat eaters. Should have doubled the recipe I think [...]

Another Chicken Curry Recipe

This was a bit of a combo from a Rachel Ray and a Jacques Pepin, so what do you call that?! My earlier chicken curry recipes have all been great, but I always like to experiment. I wasn’t sure I’d like the tomatoes but I think this was one of the best curry recipes I’ve [...]

Embarking on some new experiments, courtesy of this book I just picked up. Tonight I’m going to start marinading the chicken for some Tandoori Chicken, which I’ll cook tomorrow. I’ve already had fun making the Chai. I love the smell of cardamom. 1 cup water 2 Tbs milk 1 cardamom pod, crushed 1 tsp tea [...]
