I couldn’t resist making this from Monica Bhide’s Modern Spice–love the photos because of the colors or red chile peppers and green curry leaves…Family loved it…but look at the fryer mess I’m left with ….what’s up with that? I used good plain yogurt, but I think that is what turned the fryer into a gooey mess…oh, well: worth it. Oh, and we had Monica’s Spiced roasted cauliflower with this–enormous hit. More to come, but for now: photos. 

The ingredients were abstract art in a bowl:

 

The finished chicken was beautiful with mustard seeds, red chiles minced fine and green curry leaves.

Of COURSE we had naan–brushed with a bit of butter, just as Monica recommends (I found myself wishing I’d bought a jar of ghee).

Here is the mess. I confess. It is still on my counter (soaking). Oh well…it was worth it.
