Hmm food experiment

[wesleysgirl]

I made a chicken curry for dinner tonight. It's in the crock pot now, simmering away. I have NO idea how it's going to be, since 1) I didn't measure any of the ingredients, and 2) when I was trying to add "just a sprinkle" of ground cinnamon, my hand slipped and I added a big blob of cinnamon, which got all mixed in with the other spices and couldn't be scooped back out again.

What I did: Three onions, peeled and sliced, and one package of chicken breast, trimmed and cut into chunks, cooked together in a big pot over high heat, with some olive oil. Then I added curry powder, cinnamon, tumeric, saffron, garlic, ginger (paste and powdered,) coriander, cumin, chili powder, and four whole cloves. While this was all cooking together, I poured a big can of tomato puree into the crock pot and turned it on high. Once the outside of the chicken pieces were cooked/browned, I dumped everything into the crock pot. Now we play... the waiting game.

La la la.

Sounds delicious! Let me know how it turns out. I'll have to try it. I love my crockpot!

It was good! I added spinach and cream at the end and yummmm. Not spicy enough, because I'd forgotten that adding the spinach and cream would take away some of the spiciness, but still flavorful. :-)

you and theamusedone are making me hungry...

Sounds yummy! And I'd add golden raisins or currants at the end if it were me...

I often do add raisins, but we didn't have any, LOL. I added some spinach and stirred in some cream at the last minute instead.
