BBQ = The Exquisite Burning of Flesh

I cooked my hand a little bit...
And it's healing up pretty well.
Does this count for this blog?

Chicken Korma, Tadka Daal, Onion & Garlic Kale with Jasmine Rice

Chicken Korma (sort of authentic but not really)

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, chopped
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mango chutney
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, chopped
1/3 cup sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft.
Place onion, yogurt, mango chutney, garlic, turmeric, chili powder and garam masala into the bowl of a food processor. Process into a smooth sauce; it should be about the consistency of thick cream. Add a bit of water or yogurt to thin it if needed. Spread chicken into prepared baking dish, and pour the onion sauce over the chicken.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top, and serve.

Ice Cream

So we stopped for the Darigold cheese tour and wound up with ice cream. Could you imagine getting two scoops if this is just one!?

Leftovers

We had a bunch of leftovers for dinner yesterday. Strawberries and grilled asparagus and salad and grilled toast and smoked pork roast. Yummy!

Scallops in Green Thai Curry with Jasmine Rice

Well, this was really good, as always, but... My favorite part of this experience is perhaps the interplay between the fresh Basil and Mint and I forgot to buy the mint! I know you are all laughing discretely behind my back but it was really good anyway. Perhaps one of my favorite dishes I make on a regular basis.
