Butter chicken curry for me today. First off, make a marinade for the chicken, yoghurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, and cayenne pepper, grated garlic and ginger.

https://i.imgur.com/3022kxo.jpg

Chicken breast cut into small bite size pieces, mixed in the marinade, covered in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Having a spiced basmati rice to go with it, so first off fried some diced onion.

https://i.imgur.com/YwFsbdd.jpg

Added the prepared rice, minced garlic, garam masala, and a small green chilli.

https://i.imgur.com/m978CY1.jpg

Once everything coated with oil, added vegetable stock. Brought to the boil and simmered for 25 minutes.

https://i.imgur.com/OXXWIeJ.jpg

Carried on with the curry. Fried some thickly cut onion.

https://i.imgur.com/KwfzpJd.jpg

Once softened, added the chicken and marinade, cooked for about 5 minutes.

https://i.imgur.com/VDdYZZk.jpg

Added a small tin of tomato puree, mixed in, then added some chicken stock.

https://i.imgur.com/oedEkNv.jpg

Simmered for about 10 minutes, then added some creme fraiche, stirred and simmered for another 5 minutes.

Just in case someone thinks M'Sahib doesn't eat, meanwhile she was makiing her own sukiyaki (sans meat of course, she just used egg today).

Very nice PAG!

I feel a Friday curry night coming on.

^ indeed

^^ does anyone else think PAG's cooking would benefit from the odd Hello Kitty utensil just to make the rest of us feel a little less inadequate?

^

I have my share of disasters, same as anyone else. Always (well, nearly) enjoyed cooking, and the more you do the more intuitive it becomes particularly with timing and temperature, and getting the ingredients ready before you start lessens the potential of panic. Building up a decent selection of equipment over time undoubtable helps. My favourite kitchen equipment? The humble silicone spatula.

Indeed, lived on eggs and speg boll for my first couple of years. Put my off them for over a decade.
Ate out mostly until I learnt to cook, the rest is history.
My favourite bit of kit in the kitchen is my dry airfryer closely followed by my tefal non stick pan then the blender.

I'd have to say my chef's knife. It makes my prep work a breeze.

Sliders, onion rings, a triple-header of live NRL games on tv, weekend sports bets all winning so far. Life's pretty good today :)

Co-incidence, M'Sahib pulled a couple of salmon pieces out of the freezer this morning, though I can't verify their wildness.....

Anyway, gonna pan fry and have with teriyaki sauce, with a side of assorted roast veg.

Onion, carrot, broccoli, and cucumber (never had roasted cucumber before, but most things taste OK when roasted).

https://i.imgur.com/T5i7fJd.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/GLVU35m.jpg

Seasoned the salmon.

https://i.imgur.com/2ASXkV4.jpg

Into the pan with some baby celery.

https://i.imgur.com/jR294Dc.jpg

Once the skin crisp and the flesh cooked, added some teriyaki sauce (I wanted to make my own however M'Sahib insisted I use a bottle she'd bought - no faith) and some mixed sesame seeds on top.

https://i.imgur.com/ZzyJENP.jpg

A healthy lunch.

PAG, that's looks great. How did the roasted cucumbers turn out?

OK, not unlike courgette. I guess like any of veg such as marrows, squash, aubergine etc, they need to be well seasoned to bring out any flavour.

Different cooking times, longer on the carrots tho, i tend to stagger the veg going in. Love roasted veg, always cook a load if i put the oven on, eat two days or freeze some for a quick meal.

Me fresh North Atlantic cod arrived this morning. :yup:

Breadcrumbs blendered.

May or may not be fresh north atlantic cod

Most fish is iced on board as its caught so its unlikely

Being sourced from the freezer in Big C at 20 baht a kilo is another clue.

There are visual differences between farmed and wild salmon.

^No he's picked it, I've put strawberry jam into a bottle labelled SALSA and just hoped nobody would notice :(


:)

We had tacos the other day, but with a minced beef and mexican sauce filling. Then the salad on top.

Is your Mexican a vegetarian alternative?

Anything but, there was half a kilo of ground Aussie mince and a large white onion cooked plus the season mix to fill them with. I see in the pic it doesn't look like there's meat but they were heavy and full, but I stack the meat more to the centre in some ridiculous attempt to limit the mess.

The leftovers, gonna have Tacos for brekkie tomorrow too :)

Decided to get those Irish Pork Sausages I got some time ago from the Brit Shop in Pattaya a whirl. Planned to roast them with some onion and red pepper that had been coated with olive oil and some dried spices and chopped garlic.

https://i.imgur.com/Z8eMKE9.jpg

30 minutes in a hot oven, the last 10 dual fan and grill.

https://i.imgur.com/Hs6t3yI.jpg

Garlic mash potato, and some peas which was something of an after thought. Home made gravy though, none of your instant crap.

https://i.imgur.com/9ssoi6i.jpg

Sausages were excellent, crispy skin and full of flavour.

https://i.imgur.com/oynSNfk.jpg

I will definitely use the Brit Shop again, and these are the sausages in case anyone else is interested, 145 baht for a pack of 5.

Might as well open up a San Mig Lite now. #Friyay

Nice wrap!

Had worse.


Also had better. A lot better. :) Cheese and sour cream, with a side of Salma Hayek would have improved it no end.


The kid had the idea of putting our wraps into those 4x6in bags, the same as the 2am donor kebab cart we frequent when's she's picking me up from the bars.
