Hot Lemony Chicken Curry:
Ingredients:
2 or 3 large white onions
large piece fresh ginger root raw (100g at least)
garlic (20 to 30 cloves)
hot green chillies raw (adjust quantity to preference)
skinless chicken breast fillet (1kg)
large quantity of veggies (I use about 6 peppers, 6 large carrots, 750g mushrooms, 6 large tomatoes)
0% fat Greek Yoghurt (about 900g)
Juice of 2 or 3 lemons
fresh coriander herb (approx 150g chopped stalks and all)
Spice Mix (see below)
For the spice mix I use individual spices but you could buy a ready prepared blend. Adjust to taste:
Turmeric 30g
Hot red chilli powder 100g (I like it VERY hot)
cumin powder 10g
coriander powder 10g
paprika powder 5g
fenugreek powder 5g
asafetida powder 3g
ground black pepper 5g
garam masala 3g
Method:
1. Blend onions, ginger & garlic into a smooth paste in a food processor / blender / Nutribullet and put this in the crockpot with the chopped green chilli (I don't blend those)
2. Add your chopped vegetables and stir through the garlicky paste. I let this cook for a while whilst I do the rest of the prep.
3. Add the spice mix and stir through the veggies
4. Add the chicken (cut into bite size pieces) and stir this through the spicy veggie mix. I tend to let this sit for a half hour before I do anything else to let the spice penetrate the chicken
5. Add the yoghurt and stir through. I use the 0% Fat high protein brands
6. Squeeze in the juice of two or 3 lemons
7. Add salt as required. I use the pink Himalayan kind
8. Allow to cook for about 3 hours with the lid slightly lifted. You might find it is too wet so reducing helps. you can adjust later if you need
9. The fresh coriander herb should be added near the end of cooking, will take a few minutes to soften the stalks. Don't add it much earlier as you will lose the fragrance & taste of it
Option:
If I am working out my macros and this comes out too low in fat (I get 30% from fat) I add an appropriate amount of extra virgin coconut oil - usually around 30g for this quantity. My portion size comes in around 350 cals and weighs about 400g. It's filling stuff.
Clearly you can replace the chicken with all kinds of things like squash, sweet potatoes, aubergine (egg plant) or any other meat you like instead of chicken. You can also choose any veggies you want like beans, spinach, lentils or whatever else you fancy. Once you've got the basics of the paste, spice mix and herbs down you can create your own version
The curry should be rich, thick, zesty, hot, fragrant, herby, spicy and creamy. A full 2.5 litre crock pot makes about 10 portions for me.1 -

Bumpety bump. Some great winter warming recipes on here - too good to be missed.1

How about a beef stew inspired by Thanksgiving? I tried this one and it was really good. You can skip the chipotle if you don't want it spicy.

One head of cauliflower, teaspoon coconut oil, fresh ginger an garlic, 1/4 vegetable broth. Either place cauliflower in food processor or cut up real small. Cook on high for two hours. Soooooo good!!!
One pound lentals, carrots, celery, vegetable broth, onion, garlic, cook on low overnite. Good stuff!2 -
Turkey chili, most popular recipe in the website allrecipes. I usually leave mine 8 hours on low and it’s super tasty and even better if you add other veggies that you like ( I do carrots, red peppers and jalapeños)0

We make this regularly (yesterday, actually): http://allrecipes.com/recipe/25147/sarges-ez-pulled-pork-bbq/. I cook it then weigh out my portion and add bottled BBQ sauce after the fact. The tips on adding liquid smoke are right-on.
SO easy. Usually I'll make some rice in the rice cooker and set the timer, so everything is done when I get home from work. I'll zap some frozen veggies in the microwave to round it all out.0 -

Do the same thing in an Instantpot if you got one. Much faster and much better tasting and texture for some reason.
Don't have one. I've been holding out, but starting to really, really want one. We're a busy family. I think an Instant Pot is a worthwhile appliance (I'm choosy about letting new appliances in).0 -
this is so simple but one of my favorites. Use it with beef or venison. One packet of dry onion soup ( I use the Liptons brand that come in a blue box) and a cup of water. Let cook all day. That's it. But it's SO GOOD. |

I LOVE this!!! I make it all the time too, but instead of water, I use root beer. (or I've also used Diet Dr. Pepper)
Holy deliciousness!!!0 -

Instantpot is many tools all in one and does ALL very very well.
It will replace your slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, egg boiler etc. etc. Unlike air fryers, this is a worth buying tool.
Do you have any suggestion on which model to buy, assuming it is best to go w/ the IP brand?0 -

I have both the Duo 60 and 80. Most weekends they are both being used simultaneously. I tend to use the 8 qt for soups and broths and everything else goes in the 6 qt.1 -

I would definitely need two, because I usually have that many things going on at once. Like my Crock Pot + Rice Cooker need wouldn't go away, but maybe this would simplify it.1 -
I have the Ultra and I love it. I like the digital lights though, and the dial..I am a marketers dream. I would honestly not know what to do without this things. Best. Thing. Ever. Except for coffee (I digress).1

I also have an extra insert for the smaller one so, many times, I have one on deck . I guess you can say, I really like and use my mine.

@crazyravr Thank you for the IP suggestion.0

I got the IP DUO80 this weekend. Rocked out my steel cut oats recipe in 40 minutes, beginning to end, versus overnight in the slow cooker. Bonus: IP insert doesn't max out my kitchen scale, so full portions are easier to weigh.2

I've got the dueling crock-pot/instant pot going on now: the instant pot just finished a lovely mushroom risotto, crock pot is channeling Anupy Singla and cooking a spicy eggplant stew. I try to do more vegetarian meal prepping during lent so I have something to eat on Friday.0

Any will do. I have the IP 60 duo. Does everything I need it to do.
You can go fancy and get new ones with blutooth etc... but I dont see the reason for it, yet.
You can also get the bigger version if you are cooking large meals for big family or want lots of leftovers.
Thank you!0 -

I am new to the instant pot - just got one. How do you figure out how long to cook stuff? I want to try the pulled pork ! But last nite I just cooked corn on cob ... 3 minutes like it said ... and it ran out of water and almost burned the corn.0 -

Whatever you were doing with the corn, you were doing it wrong.
The IP comes with an instructional book that also has some basic recipes. Read that before you use it again. Also watch some youtube videos.

I thought I did it correct. It said 1 cup of water, add the corn, and cook for 3 minutes. This is what I did, and the water was completely gone, and the corn was starting to stick to the bottom of the pot. Maybe because I only had 2 ears of corn in it? But thank you for the links0 -

Thank for so much for the easy... first recipe on the link ! I think I realized when I made the corn that I forgot to "seal" the top. The eggs are now cooling, so I am anxious to see how they turned out.0 -
