Chicken in light fragrant curry. They pride themselves on not using any coconut milk while still producing something so aromatic.

“Pieces of chicken sautéed in onion paste, carefully blended in spices & then garnished with seasoned onions.” Liked it the first time (at a different place). Still like it. 😋

Tasty curry!

Today’s special: aromatic with a more complex flavor profile than the one I had a little over a week ago on board the Voyager.

I mainly went for the potatoes because that’s my favorite thing in chicken curry.

“DoPiaza” from Persian meaning “having two onions,” is a South-Asian curry dish. It is prepared with a large amount of onions, both cooked in the curry and as a garnish. Onions are added at two stages during cooking, hence the name.

BRIEF: “Made with Chef Damian’s curry powder with 11 spices, this curry draws inspiration from Indian and Eurasian cultures. A combination of wet and dry spices in its rempah base, adopted from the Malay Gulai.“ SOOT’S TAKE: I would never have associated this with gulai curry had it not been mentioned in the description.

Chicken cooked in spicy coconut sauce with a hint of Indian spices.

Would've liked more chicken to accompany the tasty curry gravy but they'd mostly sold out.

It's probably some chicken's thigh but I can't help but think it's a mini mutant limbless chook looking back at me in its curried grave

Chicken tikka morsels cooked in a rich tomato gravy. Smokey!

Boneless pieces of roasted chicken cooked with onions, tomatoes, and simmered in a pan with light curry sauce and tomato sauce.

“Chicken tikka cooked in spiced onion based gravy.”

Chicken and potatoes stewed in Nyonya curry powder, curry leaves and coconut cream

Ginger-scented curry with coconut milk, sweet potatoes and chilis. It took a couple hours to prepare the curry paste from scratch and a couple more to whip up the actual curry.

“Portuguese spicy chicken curry served with potatoes.” SOOT’S TAKE: 2.5/5

About 10% of the way through my homemade stash of garam masala…

It’s National Curried Chicken Day and I was hopeful for a rich and full-flavored curry. Alas, this Chicken Tikka Masala lacked depth of flavor. Perhaps it was because I neglected to strain in the cooking juices from grilling the chicken? Or perhaps I need to start making my own garam masala instead of lazily relying on a store-bought, rarely used jar? Maybe it needs a night in the fridge? Maybe it’s all of the above? Or none of the above? 🤷🏻‍♀️

It had that undercooked chicken taste I didn’t care for.
