Chicken Korma Recipes - Chicken Breast Recipes

Ingredients

4 each chicken breasts boned, halves
1/2 cup safflower oil 
1/4 cup butter clarified
6 medium onions 
3 each garlic cloves 
1 1/2 teaspoon ginger preferably furnish
20 each cloves whole
12 each cardamom seeds green, whole, cracked or use 2 t ground cardamom
5 each bay leaves 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 1/2 teaspoon coriander ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more to taste
8 ounces yogurt, plain plain
1/2 cup water 
1/2 cup milk 


Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and set aside. Peel the onions and chop them fine. You should have about 3 cups of onion. Mince the garlic and add to the bowl of chopped onions.
In a big frypan that has a lid, heat the butter and oil, then saute the onions and garlic for about 10 minutes, until the first hint of browning. Use “medium-high” heat.Crack the cardamom seeds between your fingers, just to get the shell open. Add them to the pan. Add the ginger, cloves, bay leaves and salt. Saute until the onions are nice and brown, about 5 more minutes.Mix the coriander and red pepper with the yogurt. Add the yogurt to the frypan, stirring as you pour, slowly enough that the onion doesn’t stop bubbling. It could take several minutes to do this, depending on the diameter of your frypan. When the last of the yogurt dries up, add the chicken pieces and brown them. Add 1/2 cup water, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.Stir in the milk and turn off the heat. It needs to sit a few minutes to let the flavors blend. The longer you let it sit after cooking, the better it will taste (up to several hours).

While the chicken is sitting, cook some rice. Saffron rice to go with this dish.

Fish out the bay leaves and as many of the whole cloves as you can find, before serving. Check to make sure it is moist enough (it should have the consistency of applesauce). Reheat over low heat.

Flip Flops Cake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 10-3/4-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed
  • 3/4 to 1 cup desired-flavor ice cream
  • 1/2 of an 8-ounce carton frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed
  • Pull-apart licorice twists
  • Bright-color candy wafers and/or round candies
  • Graham cracker crumbs (optional)


Directions

  1. Halve pound cake horizontally. Using a serrated knife, cut off the rounded top of the cake so each layer will be level. Cut each half into a flip-flop shape*. Place ice cream in a small bowl and stir to soften. Spread softened ice cream over one of the cakes. Top with second cake. Place ice cream-filled cake on a baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm (2 to 3 hours). Spread with whipped topping.
  2. To decorate, cut the ends of two twists at a diagonal. Insert a toothpick on the underside of each twist. Arrange the two twists with the cut ends together to form a V-shape, inserting toothpicks in cake to hold the twists in place as straps. Arrange candy wafers around base of flip-flop to decorate. Cover cake loosely and freeze until serving time. Serve on a platter sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs as sand, if desired. Makes 6 servings.
  3. Tip: To cut flip-flop shape, trace the bottom of a child-size flip-flop (needs to be 7 to 7 1/2 inches long) on a piece of paper. Cut out shape. Place paper, clean side down, on a piece of clean cardboard or sturdy paper; trace shape. Cut out shape. Place cardboard shape on top of one cake half and use a small sharp knife to cut around shape and through cake. Repeat with other cake half.
  4. Cake for 12: For a larger crowd, double recipe and make a pair of flip-flop cakes.
