Super Easy Indian Chicken

[DCJenn]

Jenn-

I think you need to try it again. Can ALL of us be wrong? Either that or lend us your MIL for a dinner. (I'm sure you're gleefully rubbing your hands together at that prospect- let's see 700 members, including those overseas plus travel time equals at least three years of her leaving you alone and messing up other people's kitchens.)

I did! I figured it must be better than I remembered, so I made it when Davita had her DS3 last summer. It was decidedly *okay*.

And yes, MIL rocks -- but I don't much care for her chicken. It's too greasy (she's veg, so has never tasted it herself). I have a couple tikka, masala, and makhni recipes that we like better.

And you will post them when?

This has become one of my comfort foods. It is now cooking, yet again in my crockpot. I probably never make it exactly the same way each time, but it is always wonderful.

18 pages worth of posts, this is definitely worth a try! the ingredients are officially added to my grocery list.

If you don't have the ingredients, just substitute something similar. Garlic/Ginger/Onions/cumin/coriander/hot peppers are always a good combination. For this recipe, sometimes I use half&half, sometimes plain yogurt, and sometimes sour cream!!!!!

It's one of my favorites!

It's one of my favorites!

One of mine, too! It's absolutely one of my comfort foods.

You guys crack me up.

It's simmering in the crock pot! I'm already excited that I don't have to worry about what to cook when I get home from work tonight!

You won't be disappointed. I made the potatoes last night.

You won't be disappointed. I made the potatoes last night.

The potatoes are yummy, too!!!

I've also started adding yukons to the crockpot.

Yummy!!! Spicy deliciousness! It was a hit. DH cleaned his plate...just shy of licking it clean...then casually said, "I'd eat that again." lol.

I'm going to search for nearest Patel Bros to find the ingredients for the potatoes!

Okay now I am excited
I am going to attempt to make this tomorrow... I am always scared to attempt Indian food (S is Indian) because I am absolutely SURE that it will not be up to par with what is mom makes.
He isn't here and won't be able to try it - but I am going to perfect it so I can cook it for him when I go see him next month yay!

My husband is Indian, and neither of us like this much (yes, I posted it). I think it's good for those who don't get "mom's cooking", but I wouldn't try it for an actual Indian person. Find the recipe for the potatoes, those are Hindu-worthy.
