Oh you are right, this is more Thai than Indian. But coconut milk curry does appear in southern Indian cuisine.
I keep a stock of coconut milk and Thai curry pastes around, in case a shortage develops.Also, a large jar of ginger/garlic paste--used in both cuisines, I think. And sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy brand), which I swear I could drink out of the bottle.
Also, I sometimes add peanuts to my green curry with green beans. Now I'm hungry...
Wow! That recipe in the video looks awesome! The one I used was similar except it didn't include the yogurt/lemon juice and I bet that extra little punch will make all the difference. SO has bowling again wednesday and we have extra chicken thighs from dinner tonight so I may have to take a second stab at chicken tikka masala!
It's pretty common for wineries to buy and sell grapes to each other. Charles Shaw takes that to an extreme since they don't grow any, and buy massive amounts from other vineyards, but it's by no means uncommon. For instance there is a vineyard, whose name I don't recall at the moment, that is known for excellent cabernet grapes in Sonoma. (which is somewhat uncommon since the weather for cabernet is generally better in Napa.) They don't make wine but one of the wineries we really like uses them and highlights this in their marketing of those particular wines. We've seen them noted at other wineries or when looking at a wine list in a restaurant and we immediately make the connection (or actually SO does since he has a better memory for this type of thing...)
Well, I went to the store today to get yogurt so I could try another attempt at chicken tikka masala. Since the video recipe was basically the same as what I had used previously, except for the yogurt/lemon juice bit near the beginning I just followed the first recipe. As I got to the end and was adding the cream I realized that I had, in fact, forgotten to put in the yogurt/lemon juice. Arrrrgh. So I tossed those in two minutes before I was finished cooking. I'm sure Indian cooks everywhere were cringing involuntarily at my haphazard effort to save the day. But I must say, even doing it wrong, the result was even more delicious than my first attempt. Next week perhaps I'll do a third attempt. But before next time I will add in the yogurt/lemon juice to the recipe on my phone so that I don't make the same mistake twice.
Went to Aldi's today and they had the Tikka Masala. Got a jar based on all the recommendations.
