Vijs At Home: Relax, Honey: The Warmth and Ease of Indian Cooking
By Meeru Dhalwala, Vikram Vij
D&m Adult - 2010
Oven-baked Chicken and Potatoes : page 164
This has a very interesting flavour and is a nice variation on the standard chicken curry. I used dates, as the recipe suggests (you can also use prunes or tamarind paste), and the flavour of the dates permeated the dish, complemented by the interesting spicing. Instead of a standard curry powder, this one has cayenne, garam masala and paprika. The overall effect is a creamy, slightly cinnamony dish, with a nice little bit of heat, but not too much. Great for a dark and wet evening.
Served with rice and chapati, I made half the recipe and it was enough for four reasonable servings.
