Below is the menu for the evening and the ingredients needed if you intend to cook along! Of course you do! Invite your friends! :)



Tonight's Menu

Chicken Tikka Masala, Fragrant Basmati Rice and Fresh Berries served with a healthy and delicious Fruit Dip

For best results, please marinate the chicken one hour in advance. See information below.

Ingredients

My favorite Indian Chicken with a Curry Sauce

1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
3 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-in pieces

Curry Sauce

1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. garam masala, found in most grocery stores. I know that Harris Teeter carries this spice
2-3 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream or evaporated skim milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

We'll be serving this with Steamed Basmati Rice.

1 c. Basmati rice
2 T. vegetable oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 stick cinnamon
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. green cardamom pods, crushed or 1 t. ground cardamon
1 lime
Water

Dessert

Combination of berries, like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries
8-oz pkg. good cream cheese, softened
agave syrup
a little milk


Looking forward to cooking together tomorrow!
