It's such a delight to see Rodney now devouring his food with gusto instead of stabbing it murderously with his fork.
Some lipsmackin' keepers to share.......
CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA - Britain's true national dish. Yep, it's not Fish & Chips!
Hubby and the boys were fighting over the last piece of naan to sop up the buttery gravy!! Mmmmm! But my Indian cousin-in-law insisted my Chicken Tikka Masala tasted more like Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken)!
Whatever it was, it was heavenly! Apparently, there's a story behind this famous dish that is loved the world over.
It is thought that butter chicken was hastily prepared by a Delhi eatery chef post dinner time for a harried VIP customer who wanted "some" chicken dish. A chef named Simon Mahli Chahal first prepared this when he only had half of a Tandoori chicken which he tossed with liberal amounts of butter, tomato, and garam masalas to improvise for an delicious delicacy he was supposed to make for the ruler of Mareelun. He forgot to buy enough ingredients so he ended up with this dish!

BERGEDIL - Indonesian Mashed Potato Patties derived from the Dutch word 'frikadel'. Shallots, garlic, candlenut, nutmeg, white pepper, chopped Chinese celery are added to a mashed potato mixture, then shaped into patties, dipped in beaten egg and deep-fried until golden brown.

PARMESAN CRUSTED FISH - Fish coated with a mixture of grated parmesan cheese and mayo and topped with breadcrumbs. 4 ingredients, 5 minutes of prep time and 20 quick minutes of baking time - that's all it takes! You wouldn't want your fish done any other way again!
The original recipe is for chicken - http://theenchantedcook.blogspot.com/2011/10/parmesan-crusted-chicken-hellmanns-mayo.html

You're making me hungry! :) My kids are odd. They will eat salmon, grilled chicken, any veggie except zucchini and any fruit. They'll even eat plain yogurt. When we put a cheese burger or pizza in front of Isaak he want NOTHING to do with it! He must not know that kids are supposed to like that kind of food.

ReplyDeleteI love to cook and look forward to it, but I will agree 100% I HATE the question "What's for dinner?" :) Especially when I'm asked this question at 7am. lol
