Creamy Chicken Curry (Milk and Dairy free)

My wife is lactose intol­er­ant and there­fore has a prob­lem with many Indian recipes as they use Ghee (cla­ri­fied but­ter) and Yoghurt in a lot of their recipes. So I cre­ated this recipe to cre­ate a creamy mild curry we can both enjoy.

Ingredi­ents:
1 – 1.5 Kg Chicken pieces (Drums and Thighs are best)
4 Medium red Onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 Small Cauli­flower, cut in to small florets
250 g Small Mush­rooms, quartered
150 ml Coconut Milk
4 – 5 Cel­ery sticks, chopped
4 – 5 tsp Curry Powder
50 g Ground Almonds
50 g Rais­ins
4 Cloves Gar­lic, crushed
Olive oil for frying

Place a large pan on a low heat and add a little oil, once up to heat add the onions, chicken and curry powder, then turn up the heat and fry the chicken until lightly browned.

Now reduce the heat to a low sim­mer and add everything expect the cauli­flower, sim­mer for an hour, you could do this in a slow cooker for a few hours in will just improve the flavour.

Then for the last 20mins add the cauli­flower and stir will in.

Best served with rice or naan bread.

TABASCO® brand Habanero Sauce

By Darth Naga, November 28, 2009 12:00 pm
TABASCO® brand Habanero Sauce

TABASCO® brand Habanero Sauce

Its that time again my fel­low chile lov­ers!!! Darth Naga here writ­ing another review for one of the things in life i’m very pas­sion­ate about…HOT SAUCE!!!

This review may be a little longer than my oth­ers as i am review­ing a sauce made by the hot sauce legends “McIl­henny” fam­ous for the “Tabasco®” brand and hot sauce range. The reason i have so much respect for the Tabasco® name is simply because this is where i star­ted, its how i got into hot sauces in the first place, thanks to the McIl­henny fam­ily of Avery island in Louisi­ana i have a deep appre­ci­ation and respect for the chile pep­per and its many uses (my favour­ite being hot sauce of course!!) and i thank them for that, without them i would not be the man i am today..and i would still have some tastebuds that work prop­erly hehe!!

The McIl­henny com­pany was formed as a small fam­ily com­pany by Edmund McIl­henny in Louisi­ana wayyyyy back in 1860’s, it all star­ted with a single pep­per sauce that become world fam­ous over the next 10 or 15 years, it was made using an old method of aging a pep­per mash in white oak bar­rels sealed with salt for 30 days before adding dis­tilled white vin­egar to it and then strain­ing the mash out to leave just the sauce, 140 years later and its all made the same way, in fact the only thing thats changed is the aging time which appears to have increased to 3 years!!

Ingredi­ents:
Vin­egar, habanero pep­per, cane sugar, TABASCO® pep­per sauce (vin­egar, red pep­per, salt), salt, mango puree, dehyd­rated onion, banana puree, tomato paste, tam­ar­ind puree, papaya puree, spices, gar­lic, TABASCO® pep­per mash (pep­per, salt)

But any­way, onto the sauce i’m talk­ing about and today its the “Habanero” veri­ant of the “Tabasco®” range of sauces, this is a sauce that comes in a little 60ml bottle with a strik­ing yellow/orange/red label which com­pli­ments the rich orangey red black speckled sauce inside and i per­son­ally carry one around with me for whenever i need to add a bit of spice to my food, that and car­ry­ing round a big 140ml bottle is simply not easy lol! The aroma from the bottle is one more of fresh fruits, namely mango as opposed to habanero, the smell is deceiv­ing though and you’ll real­ise that the moment you try this one, the McIlhenny’s mean busi­ness with this sauce and the lovely fruity taste coupled with the warmth of the habanero pep­per make this an irres­ist­ible addi­tion to any­ones hot sauce cabinet.

This is a sauce that you can find any­where nowadays, its in pretty much all the big name super­mar­kets so theres no real reason to shop around online for it, its about £2 from most of them maybe a bit more in the higher end super­mar­kets, i would’nt say its fant­astic value for money as it does come in such a small bottle, but that sauce does go quite far if you use it sparingly…however if like me you use it on alot of things then you’ll find your­self going through it pretty quickly.

It has a sim­ilar fla­vour to the papaya encona sauce, which is prob­ably down to the fruit aspect rather than the pep­per but i find this just a little warmer and it brings me out in a bit of a sweat and induces my now fam­ous chile hic­cups (hic­cups i get when i try some­thing thats a little too hot!) much to the amuse­ment of Mrs Naga and my other fam­ily members!

This is a sauce that i would recom­mend every­one buy and try at least once, the stand­ard Tabasco® sauce is a great starter sauce and this just about takes it to the next level, i keep a bottle with me at all times due to it size and theres no reason why you should’nt either!!
