Lamb Cury Recipe - (Indian Food)


Quote For The Day:

"Cooking is multisensory. It's made for the eyes, the mouth, the nose, the ear, and the soul. No other art is as complex." — Pierre Gagnaire


My Thoughts For Today:


What is this?


My oldest daughter cooked homemade flour tortillas with her little girls and shared them with me. The flour tortillas are perfect and taste better than store-bought. I am happy to have these tortillas. I was craving a snack today and thought I would use the tortillas to make something to eat. I decided on fried eggs.


I placed two tortillas on a plate and spread some mayonnaise on each while my eggs cooked in the hot skillet. I like to cook fried eggs in butter. After the eggs were almost cooked hard I placed a piece of pepperjack cheese on each egg and put a lid over the skillet to melt the cheese.


While the cheese was melting I sprinkled a little Frank's RedHot Sauce on each tortilla. I then put an egg on each tortilla and sprinkled it with Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning, folded the tortillas around the eggs, and held them together with toothpicks.


This is a very impromptu snack I threw together and I really don't have a written recipe for fried egg wraps I follow. I like to cook intuitively a lot. If I am craving something it is fun to throw it together as many would say. I do like to cook with lots of flavor so adding some sort of seasoning is a habit for me. I enjoy cooking quick snacks like this for other people and I almost always receive compliments. Maybe those who try my creations are just hungry.


A Few Questions For You:


  • What are your thoughts on Lamb Curry?
  • Do you enjoy Indian food?
  • Have you tried creating lamb dishes in the past? Please share your experience with me in the comment section below.
  • Did you read my recipe from yesterday? If you didn't, it is called Grasshopper Pie Recipe and it is a cool dessert pie that will last in the refrigerator for a month. I am sure it won't last that long because it is so delicious. It is also a no-bake pie recipe.


More Information For You:


Lamb consumption in the United States is not as prevalent today as it was in the past. With the rise in sustainability and healthier meat choices, lamb become more popular. Lambs are grass-fed and it contributes to the health factors for consumers. Lamb meat has a desirable and tender flavor because of the way they are raised.

My Thoughts For Today:

I found another funny food meme I thought you would enjoy. I am sure this dehydrated water is not cheap. My first thought is dehydrated water is just air. So basically, this meme is trying to sell us air. Isn't that marketing for you and to emphasize that companies will try and sell anything. If anything let this meme remind you to hydrate well in the warmer months. We could all drink a little more water.

I would love to know what you think about this meme and if you have any jokes to add. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this Shrimp Curry With Basmati Rice recipe.

Keep on cooking!

East Indian Chicken Recipe - (Indian Food)

Ingredients:

2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted (10 3/4 ounces each)
1 1/2 cans of frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 cup butter or margarine
8 whole chicken breasts (boneless & skinless)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup currants
Salt and pepper to your taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the soup, orange juice concentrate, and curry powder. Melt butter in a large shallow baking dish in the oven. Remove from oven, and coat chicken with melted butter. Arrange chicken in a baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with soup mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Baste with the sauce, and sprinkle with almonds. Return to the oven, and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Sprinkle with currants, and continue baking for 15-20 minutes. This dish can be assembled early and baked just before serving. It is nice with wild rice and crisply cooked green vegetables.

Thoughts On East Indian Chicken:

If you've never had Indian food let this recipe be your introduction. Indian Chicken is delicious. I remember first tasting Indian food at a local Indian restaurant. It blew my mind! I had never tasted anything like it before. Maybe it was the curry. The curry spice in food was new to me. This was about 7 years ago. I actually asked myself why I had not tasted Indian food before. I was missing out. There is spicy Indian and non-spicy food with a creamy taste.

I recommend adding Basmati rice to this dish. Basmati is long and slender rice with a specific aroma you will love.

More Information For You:

East Indian Chicken originates from India. I want to share some information on curry. Curry is what gives East Indian Chicken its specific flavor and no other can compare. Curry reflects the Indian culture. It is a spice that is also very popular in American cooking culture. Curry has a very interesting history. FOOD&WINE wrote a very informative article called The Real Story of Curry that you will enjoy.

Some Questions For You:

Do you like Indian food? What is your favorite Indian dish? Do you remember the first time you tasted Indian food? Please share your experience here with other readers. Did you see yesterday's recipe? If you missed it, it's called Key West Salad Recipe and it is a delicious fruit salad that is very easy to make. Take a look at it and leave a comment.

My Thoughts For Today:

Marshmallows for the grand peeps!

Since I became a grandfather, known as "Papaw" to these sweet little ones, I have made it a ritual to bring marshmallows to my little grandchildren. I know sugar is not good for children. They do not get sugar all the time but I want them to always remember me bringing them marshmallows as a core memory. I try to find different flavors of marshmallows so they can try something new. Regular vanilla marshmallows are the best in my opinion.

I found these YUMMALLO Sour marshmallows and thought it would be fun for them to try. The flavors in this bag are strawberry, blue raspberry, and cherry. They are sugar-coated. There ya go again, Grandpa! Giving the grandbabies sugar. 

Have you seen or tried these marshmallows? I found them on the baking aisle alongside the regular marshmallows. Little children and grandchildren grow so fast. I think it's good to create as many good memories as possible for them. Food is a great way to create memories. Maybe I should try bringing them bags of carrots. That may be more healthy but I guess it is the mid-western upbringing in me.

What do you think about me bringing my grandchildren marshmallows? I don't do it very often. Let me know your thoughts.
