This recipe, I think, is too complex; the chef should make it simpler, with perhaps more than four spices. yes, the yogurt makes the curry smooth,.. ..but please *don't* add cream or milk, which many restaurants do; ..a lot of Indians are lactose-intolerant, and may not even know that they are.

I love the simplicity of a traditional curry. Chicken, tomatoes, onion and herbs/spices. It's so easy to make your own and it freezes well too!

I just made this for my family Christmas and it was fantastic. There are layers and layers of flavors and spices that make every bite an adventure. Everyone loved it. It would really help if there were some amounts in this video. It was even harder because I was making enough for 14 people, so I as increasing everything while trying to estimate how much was put in, and also determining what I should double or triple and what I shouldn't. It turned out fantastic thought, so obviously this is a very forgiving dish.

@aniruddhajadhav7405 11 месяцев назад

Chef Akshay is not a Michelin star chef. Chef Vikas Khanna got Junoon a Michelin star. Chef Akshay’s father is the owner of the restaurant and there seems to have been some differences between chef khanna and him. So, now the restaurant is now led by Akshay and the restaurant is no longer on Michelin list.

Marinate Chicken Thighs in Turmeric, (+recommend ginger+garlic+vinegar+Salt/Pepper) Heat Oil, add mustard oil or seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, Cardomom (black + green), bay leaf, peppercorns Add red onions. Add Ginger / Garlic Paste Coriander Powder + Chili powder / Kashmiri Chili powder Tomato paste + fresh tomotoes Add Yoghurt Add chicken back in, plus bit of water. Finish with Dried Fenugreek leaves Garam Masala Coriander Leaf.

How can a Michelin Star restaurateur use Swad garlic-ginger paste instead of making it freshl? Swad is full of preservatives and vinegar! Fresh is so easy to prepare and tastes so much better.

@josedasilva4433 Месяц назад

Michelin quantifies one star as being “high-quality cooking, worth a stop”; two stars are awarded for “excellent cooking, worth a detour”; and finally, the prestigious three stars represent “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”. Michelin stars aren't about if you use canned or not.

@mostaqueali2658 11 месяцев назад

Yes, that's how I cook chicken curry. But Bengali normally eat it with rice (or pilau basmati rice flavoured with onion, garlic, ginger, bay leaf, and saffron.). Eating curry with paratha is also delicious. North Indian dishes are influenced by Central ASIA (YOGURT) and Persia.

@estherc3576 11 месяцев назад

Standard formula once u know which spice goes with what food. Chicken goes incredibly well with cinnamon n black pepper. Not so well with fennel in this version. Cumin n coriander go in ratio 1:2. Always saute the tomato to caramelize it n cook it through n through

@MrSkinnynerd03 11 месяцев назад

Honestly, it can be, but the framework is essentially the same on all curries be it fish, chicken, veggie..etc. And unlike Baking or some other foods where it's rigid. Indian cooking and spices are completely dependent on what you feel like you wanna eat. Just play around

@alittlebindi25 11 месяцев назад

You can get one standard spice box or "dabba" and that will see you through for 90 percent of Indian cooking. 😊 Down south we tend to use coconut oil or sunflower oil. And homemade Indian food is much faster to cook and much simpler than in the restaurants.

@RishikSuri 9 месяцев назад

True! But you can find spice mixes for most of these dishes online or in an Indian store. The most popular ones for curries and kebabs sell under the name Shan Masalas, you just have to empty a packet into your marinade/cooked down onions while preparing the curries and you're done.

Chicken curry in the east of India is also very different but then hardly anyone ever brings it up because of lack of knowledge by mainstream chefs. There's more to India than the North and the South. Also, the spices need to be cooked till the oil separates for the actual flavour to come through.

@gary637 11 месяцев назад

@rashmirao7140 11 месяцев назад

It's more to do with a lack of population and popularity than to do with a lack of knowledge. Historically India was divided into two parts: Uttarapatha (North) and Dakshinapatha (South). Also, this is short-form content so hence why the entire cooking process wasn't shown. Let's not undermine a literal Michelin star chef now 🤣

6.20 So a question I have for that: If both the mother & father have their own family recipe do they just combine it to make a new household recipe, or settle on one or just have 2, or more, variants of a curry? Proably counts for every country & every family recipe. I personally don't know that as we don't have any real family recipes, unless the ones count I personally made up^^ /edit: And of course, video overall was great. Loved the way the chef explained it trough so people can understand his thought process and not "just" the recipe

@kiranvenugopalan4372 11 месяцев назад

Usually, the one who cooks would be the one who passes on the family recipe to the next generation. If both mom and dad cook, for one particular recipe, they might stick to just one person's or might just tweak it together to cater to both their palette and that recipe then gets carried forward. If you're the one who predominantly cooks, then the chances are it's your recipe that will move to the next generation

@majestic6303 11 месяцев назад

When he was browning the onions he said to brown them until the oil separates. I think in Indian vegetarian cooking the curry is definitely cooked longer until oil separates and before adding water.

@orsonmoniz 11 месяцев назад

It is done in Indian cooking but its not necessary tbh. Also, it happens much faster when theres a lot of oil added to the dish, typical in restaurants, more grease = more flavor. For every day cooking we dont really use that much oil, so its fine to just cook until needed instead of waiting for the oils to separate at the end (which might take too much time, overcooking the chicken by then)

@leightonlawrence8832 11 месяцев назад

Kindly reply me on this as I am also in your Michelin group status mate

@aaliashaikh3427 11 месяцев назад

I find that if I don't cook off the water that the chicken leaves the dish ends up smelling of raw chicken. If once the chicken juices are cooked off and the oil separates and after that you add water up to desired consistency then there is no smell. This has been my experience but it's great if it works for others without burning off the chicken juices and separating the oil (what I believe is called 'bhunna').
