Re: Whole Chicken Curry Roast

Frasier Linde — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:15:52 -0000

I made this last night, and it turned out great!
A few notes:
1. Not sure what you mean by "Kashmiri red curry powder"—does this refer to Kashmiri chili powder, or a type of curry powder? I didn't have either, so I used equal parts cayenne and common curry powder (DEEP brand).
2. I used 2 large red onions, and it seemed like a lot of onion compared to your picture. Perhaps you mean 1 large red onion instead of 4.
3. The manual for my pressure cooker says 13-15 minutes at pressure for a whole chicken this size. Cooking it 30 minutes worked okay, but I might try cooking it less next time.

Chicken pieces are spread on the pan and when cooked for 30 minutes will be cooked through. Or you could half cook the chicken covered in the pan and then layer the half cooked rice over it and cook for another 20 minutes, chicken will be completely cooked.

Olakkudiyan is seer fish (Spanish Mackerel). there are 4 types of seer fish. each place its called in different name. even people will sell it as King fish,It is very difficult to make out when it is cut.

Salam Nura, thanks for the lovely feedback. For making coconut crepe, you can replace coconut milk with just water or milk and water.

There are so many good ones, but I like Indian food, so I will say the Chicken Fry- My Style recipe. That is the most beautiful coffee cup I've ever seen!

Assalam alaykum, I have been following your page for quite some time and have tried several of your recipes this Ramadan. The two I am currently saving up ingredients for are the Almond Saffron Halwa (I didn't even know you could make this at home!) and the Squid salad. I'm really interested in your recipe for semolina cake. I have made a semolina cake before, but I did it differently. I put sour cream in mine! I wrote your recipe by hand and posted it to my fridge so that I can make it later this month. I also noticed the new recipe you posted today. The chicken inside a coconut crepe. It looks divine! I am going to try to make it without the coconut tonight and see what happens because you made me really crave it, but I don't have coconut. I wonder if I can substitute with shredded coconut but I'm guessing that wouldn't work. My all time favorite recipe from you, out of the ones I've tried, is the vegetarian sushi rolls. I never thought that I could make sushi, but I did and it was great. I even put cream cheese inside some of the pieces, with the veggies. Thank you for your delicious recipes!! I hope I win this giveaway :)

-Nura S.

Re: Pizza Pockets with Chicken Filling – Wheat Flour Pizza Pockets

Thas — Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:43:08 -0000

Hi Maryam, I haven't tried making this on stove top nor in pressure cooker. So, not sure how it will turn out. If you have a microwave oven, you can make in that.

Hi Thasneen, Im Maryam. Please let me know if I could make this recipe on stove top. Or in pressure cooker may be?

what is the ideal time for drinking papaya shake?

Re: Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani Recipe

Thas — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:52:37 -0000

Yes, you can cook in a preheated oven (180 C or 350 F) for 30-35 minutes. Do not broil, it will burn the biryani as broiling uses very high heat. Hope this helps.
