Tonights Dinner: Pic Heavy-- Indian Night

Chubbs · February 12

Was off work today so had a poblano stuffed with cream cheese, chorizo, and manchego waiting on SWMBO when she arrived. Then, we had our monthly Indian night. Chicken thighs done raised direct at 400 degree until 165 IT for Chickan Tikki Masala. Little Basmati rice and Egged Naan to accompany. Thanks for looking..

Looks good. Always looking to branch out. I like Chicken Curry, but have only made it once.

Great cook! Naans and chicken look really good. Did you make the CTM on the egg too?

Just the chicken on egg for the CTM. Wife made the sauce and rice inside. It was delicious

Looks great. How did you do the Naan, direct on grill (no stone)?

If you go to YouTube, there is a good recipe from eateastindian. I usually make the naan earlier in the day so I have several pieces readily available when I am ready to cook. Then when ready to eat throw them on the egg for a minute a side to heat back up. This way you can have more than two warm when eating. If you try to make it on the egg in batches before you eat then the first batches are cold unless you have multiple eggs which I do not... Yet. Really easy and good

@Chubbs - looks really good. I'm not all that familiar with Indian food or CTM, but I'd give it a taste. So did you cook the chicken all the way through and then just toss in the sauce? And the naan was totally home made? That is awesome!

Chubbs · February 12

Exactly Griff. Check out my last post. If you can make pizza dough, you can make naan. The hardest part is getting the bubbles, but if you push on it with a spoon like she does in the video it works. The two pieces in the pic are the best 2 :\">

Very nicely done Chubbs!! I dabbled with Indian food before I got my Egg including homemade Naan and it was all excellent. I shall have to work it into the rotation, although the there are so many things you can do on the Egg I don't think I'll ever do everything on my wish list.

Everything you made looks excellent. You mentioned YouTube for the Naan recipe, but with a monthly Indian night I am wondering if you have a good Indian cookbook you could recommend? Or do you just get recipes from various sources on the web? TIA

@jfm0830, check out Julie Sanhi's books. I like her "Introduction to Indian Cooking". My wife lived in NY before we got married and came to love Indian food. When we got married, she passed on her passion for food to me. We took an Indian cooking class in Columbia. It was okay, but still left you with a feeling that Indian cuisine is difficult to achieve. The book I mentioned proves this wrong. We also have a book that goes through Indian street food since it is such a big part of their culture. Great photography, but the recipes are hard to follow. The above book is great. Good luck!

Howdy, Stranger!
