Tonights curry was Chettinad Chicken. I should have known from the outset it wasn't going to work as well as I had hoped, it's just been one of those days. As it was cooking I could tell there was something missing, it just looked so bland. I re-read and re-read the recipe again and I had included everything. Tastewise it was nice, but didn't have the spicy kick and depth it was meant to have. Only after a google search I noticed that all other recipes for Chettinad Chicken featured tomatoes and a great deal more chilli, mine didn't and may explain why it just didn't look or taste 100% right.
I won't include the recipe as in my eyes it isn't right, so here are some links to some better sounding Chettinad Chicken.

Please can you do a Lamb Methi... this is one of my favourite, very simple yet very yummy!

I'm glad to see that it's not just me who has things not working in the kitchen sometimes. lamb Kofta Dhansak is one of my favourite curries, but I have never made it myself. Maybe I should join you one week on your curry monday, because I don't cook them from scratch nearly often enough.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a disappointment when things don't work out, but it's good of you to post it and it teaches you for the future!
ReplyDeleteHow about making a phall?
Thanks for all your great suggestions. If you have any of your own recipes for these curries I'd love to try them.
