It's re...Sara- you asked about curried chicken. It's really a technique. I will give you this info, but remember I used to cook for a hungry army, so the food is not raw and not delicate. <br /><br />So heat oil in a steep sided frying pan. Enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan generously. Add curry powder. [When I first learned this recipe I added a mix of spices like cardamon etc. but curry powder will do] Add a chopped onion and saute. Skip the onion if the guests hate onion. add diced chicken. Chicken can be raw or previously cooked. Saute. the goal here is to release the curry flavor into the meat. when the meat is cooked (or reheated) Mix 2 tbls corn starch in about 1 1/2 cups of water. Mix slowly into the frying pan. Goal is create a thick curried flavored sauce. When the sauce thickens. Cut the heat and serve with rice.<br /><br />Spices are expensive, but it's worth looking at some Indian curry recipes and experimenting with flavor.Sarah Kupermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627642859814852163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781029470435087076.post-668371180892256632010-03-03T07:00:29.877-05:002010-03-03T07:00:29.877-05:00Sara- Your Purim soup was most excellent!
