Mushroom curry, in a medium spiced (I hope :D) tomato and lemon based sauce, to be served with rice and salad.

    Some brown rice seasoned to taste (with whatever I could find in my spice cupboard) with some beans for protein and texture.

    Yummy :3

    I just finished cleaning up the kitchen from an explosion (normal when I cook) that came from a wonderful shrimp curry. Need to spice it up a little next time though. Yum!

    nanadhaja, really? Why not?

    As for me, I am culinarily illiterate.

    curry seems quite a popular choice :D
    & today I will just be reheating the mushrooms curry, as yesterday I made too much. Though today I'll most probably have it with naan rather than rice, shop brought as I haven't got time to make any naan bread.

    As long as it isn't too spicy, curry is a popular choice when I am cooking!

    I try to have it with Peshawari naan, although today it looks like it will be rice alone.

    Of course, it has to be basmati rice! It's only been in the past six months or so that grocery stores in my area have started carrying pre-made naan. If somebody opened a curry shop I'd be all set, but Americans love their bland, tasteless "food", so that's not likely. I have to make it myself..

    I made the most fantastic chicken parmesan recipe last night, far better than any others I've made and being a cheese freak, I've tried many chicken parm recipes. Here you go for anyone who's interested:

    1lb chicken breasts, no skin
    1/4 cup butter (half a stick), unsalted
    1/2 cup sour cream
    3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (the recipe only called for 1/2 cup but let's be real here...)
    salt and pepper to taste
    1 tsp garlic powder (or 3 cloves, crushed)

    Preheat the oven to 375. Flatten the chicken breasts if desired. I desired.
    Melt the butter with garlic. Combine half of this delicious melted garlicy butter with the sour cream and mix well to form what looks like a lather.
    Mix the parmesan, salt and pepper.
    Lather each chicken breast in the sour cream mixture then roll in the parm mixture.
    Bake in ungreased glass dish for 25 minutes, then another 5 minutes under the broiler to brown the cheese.
    Enjoy! It's even kind of healthy compared to other chicken parm recipes.

    Does anyone know of a substitute for coconut milk in south Indian style curry? I love the coconut milk, but the amount of fat and calories is astounding.

    The fat in coconut milk is good fat though, and I've heard it's the healthiest for frying as olive oil's healthy fats burn away at a super high heat.
