Indian Butter Chicken

Indian Butter Chicken

Over the past few years Indian food has become a favorite of mine.  If you are a regular here, this will come as no surprise to you.  I make it at our house once every two weeks at least.  We have a local Indian restaurant that we like, but have only gone for dinner so far.  At lunch they have a buffet, I am dying to go to the buffet, so I can try more things!

Indian Butter Chicken

One of our favorite dishes is Indian Butter Chicken.  I usually use a spice packet, so the work is minimal.  But I have really been wanting to try it from scratch.  I even had it on my Culinary Bucket List I shared with you.  So I get to cross something off already!  Hopefully that is motivation to keep going with my list.

I served it over rice, and with a side of homemade Naan bread.  It was delicious.  The sauce was rich, and had so much flavor.  The naan was perfect for soaking up all of the extra sauce.  No surprise this was better than the spice mix I normally use.  Given how easy it was, and that most of the ingredients are pantry staples in my house, I know I will be making this again soon!

Please go grab the recipe over at Culinary.Net.  I know you will love it just as much as we do!

Thai Green Curry Chicken

Thai Green Curry Chicken

We have a slight disagreement in our house.  My husband and I both really like Thai food and Indian food.  I like Indian over Thai, he likes Thia over Indian.  Considering I am the cook, that means we have Indian more than we have Thai.  I tried to make Pad Thai once, and it just didn’t turn out.  I have figured out what I did wrong, so I just need to try again.  Not sure why I haven’t yet.  So in an effort to be a good wife, I made a Thai Curry.

When we go out for Thai food, we don’t usually get curry.  I always get Pad Thai, I mean always!  My husband tries a couple different things, but they are usually noodle dishes of some sort.  So although, this definitely had lots of Thai flavors, and we both loved it, I am not sure I am off the hook yet.  Must. Make. More. Thai.

I will admit I was slightly nervous about the green curry.  I am weird like that.  If it is a strange color it makes me nervous.  I am used to red curries, so this was a little different for me.  It was perfectly spicy, and the coconut milk gave it great flavor.  We will be making this many more times in the future!
