I found a recipe for Indian dry stir fried chicken but I didn’t have all the ingredients so what follows is what I came up with instead, which was really good.

    Bowl 1

  • 4 bay leaves
  • 6 cloves
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp asafoetida
    Bowl 2

  • 1 tsp corriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp cashew butter
  • 5 tbsp + 2 tsp water
    Bowl 3

  • 2 tbsp packed of fresh chopped cilantro
  • 3/8 tsp cayenne
    Other ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp tumeric
    Steps

  1. Heat oil in a large pan on medium and fry contents of bowl 1 for 1 minute
  2. Add chicken and tumeric and stir fry for 5 minutes
  3. Add a spoonful from bowl 2 and stir until the liquid is absorbed (about 2 minutes). Repeat about 5 times until bowl 2 is empty.
  4. Add the contents of bowl 3 and stir fry for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Saturday morning, being inspired by my co-worker, Henry, who is making Passover dinner today, and fleagirl’s mad preparation, I decided I wanted a Passover meal. Not a full seder, just the food. since a seder requires too much planning.

So I found this recipe for a brisket. However I skipped the next day park and I used the cooking time and temperature from another book so 300 for 3 hours.

Nicole made potatoes with italian spices.

I made charoset with my mom’s recipe.

And for dessert, I made matzah brickle. That same recipe is all over the net so it makes it easy to find should you use it.

Oh yeah, I didn’t know what I was doing but I ground up some horseraddish and added some lemon juice. It turns out I’m supposed to add vinegar and probably more than I did of the lemon juice. My dad suggests about 1 cup per pound.

Julie & Fish came over to join in the meal and they brought strawberries and cream. Good meal!
