Chicken Chicken Curry

Recipe by: Madhumita

Reviews(4)

There are a hundred different ways to cook chicken curry, but Bengalis (from the eastern part of India) make something called Kosha (or kawshaa) which is very good with either rice or any kind of flat bread. This recipe is called moorgi kosha (or chicken kosha), but my friend Jennie calls it Chicken Chicken Curry!

Chicken Vindaloo from Scratch

Recipe by: EmpressChristine

Reviews(1)

A spicy authentic East Indian speciality! Try making your own curry for a change - you won't regret it. The vindaloo paste can also be made ahead of time, covered and put in the fridge, to save cooking time.

Cholay (Curried Chickpeas)

Recipe by: SHAMMI EDWARDS

Reviews(1)

This is a fragrant and flavourful chickpea curry from North India, usually eaten with fried bread like bhatura or puri. I like to serve it over rice for a filling vegetarian meal. This recipe is much quicker to make if you use tinned chickpeas as called for here, but try it with dried - I like to think that the authentic flavour comes from doing it the hard way!

Elleasha's famous millionaire Shortbread!!!

Recipe by: elleasha101chhiber

Be the first to review it!

I think its very easy, well most of it sure is anyway! The only bit that i really struggled on was the mixing of the ingredients, mixing it into breadcrumbs with your fingers bit i actually found that it was easier with the dough whisks. plus it deduces your mixing time by about 5-8 minutes. from then it gets pretty easy with the rolling and cuttting and everything...!

This is a traditional Indian dessert. Spongy milky balls soaked in rose scented syrup. Delicious with fresh cream, Kulfi, ice cream etc. To make it even more fancy, sprinkle gold-leaf on top of each serving.

Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani

Recipe by: REBECCAKALAKOTA

Be the first to review it!

My husband's mother taught me this recipe, an authentic Hyderabadi-style biryani that is a trademark of home-cooking in South India. For a more traditional version, substitute curd (homemade south Indian yoghurt) for yoghurt. If you cannot find ginger garlic paste, crush together ginger and garlic in equal portions.

Indian Saag

Recipe by: VALONE

Be the first to review it!

Saag is a curry of cooked mustard or similar 'bitter' greens (kale, turnip greens), and spinach or similar mild greens (chard, pak choi, beetroot greens). Any combination of greens works! Use more spices and peppers for hot saag, or less for mild.

Indian Saffron Rice

Recipe by: Rachel Cross

Indian saffron is richer, darker in its red-orange color then the Spanish or Italian, and gives a better flavor to rice. The saffron should always be steeped in hot water ahead of time and used as part of the liquid in the recipe. The following is a recipe prepared in the Indian manner.

Karai Chicken Curry

Recipe by: Nausheen Khan

Be the first to review it!

This is an extremely easy and flavourful chicken curry with just a few simple ingredients. Traditionally for this dish a whole chicken is cut into 16 pieces (usually by the butcher) but you can make it with bigger pieces as well. The spiciness of the dish can be varied by increasing or decreasing the amount of black pepper and green chilli in the recipe to suit your taste.

Kesari Bhat

Recipe by: RADHIKA GHATAGE

This is a traditional Indian sweet, prepared all over India. It is the standard offering to God, that is cooked as 'prasad' after a 'Pooja'. This recipe is made using 1 1/4 of any measure (instead of one) by Hindus as they believe using the extra measure will usher in prosperity and happiness.
