I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough roasted chicken and pasta for one year. It’s time for something different.
From your standard korma and butter chicken curries to smokey tandoori meals and tender kebabs, you’ll have a hard time picking just one thing.
Though some recipes require particular spices, most can be substituted to suit your pantry and your palette.
1. Easy Chicken Tikka Masala
I think chicken tikka masala is one of the most well-loved and well-known curries around. It’s bright, bursting with flavor, and just what you need for a delicious dinner.
Though it’s full of yummy spices, it’s not spicy. However, you could make it warmer if you add extra chili powder.
It’s also easy to make dairy-free. Just swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream, and you’re good to go.
2. Easy Chicken Korma
I love curry and often tell myself that I’ll order something new whenever we go to an Indian restaurant.
But I’m always drawn in by this creamy, sweet, and mild coconut and ginger sauce.
The trick to adding coconut milk is to make sure it’s at room temperature. If it’s cold, it might split.
3. Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken
Though similar to tikka masala, this butter chicken recipe uses a little more cream and slightly less tomato.
I love using the slow cooker because it keeps the stovetop clean and allows the flavors time to marry. Plus, it usually gives a thicker sauce to boot.
4. Mughlai Chicken
Though this might not be the most vibrant-looking dish, Mughlai chicken is packed with flavor.
It includes a brown onion gravy and soaked cashew, making it rich and creamy. The heavy cream goes in right at the end, but it shouldn’t affect the thickness.
5. Kerala Style Spicy Dry Roasted Chicken
Also known as nadan chicken ularthiyathu, this is probably one Indian dish you’re not as familiar with.
Unlike the recipes above in which the chicken is cooked in sauce, this version is dry-cooked.
That means you’ll cook the chicken until the excess water seeps out before lowering the heat and cooking until tender. Read More…
