Post #80

successfully lured sis over for dinner last night with an indian korma dish and a beetroot salad!! hehe.

i have wanted to try this korma dish since i saw it on Poh's Kitchen! it's not an ordinary indian dish as it doesnt have much spices in it, but the ratings were 100% positive and its quite easy to make, so i want to give it a try!!

my first attempt at indian food!! the recipe requires 4 green chilli, but i couldnt find any after work. so as substitutes, i used 2 long red chilli plus 1 small green capsicum. hehe, the closest substitutes i could think of... blending the chilli and the pistachio:



the DISH!!


-Chicken + pistachio korma-

although the korma didnt taste like the normal indian food that one would expect, but it was really delicious! the use of fresh ingredients as opposed to ground spices gives the dish a beautiful fresh taste! will most definitely cook this dish again! and i actually think using red chilli and green capsicum in place of green chilli adds a tint of lovely red colour to the dish!!

bought these takeaway samosa and pappadum to complete the indian theme:



also cooked a beetroot salad - sis' favourite, but with a yoghurt sauce!


-Beetroot + orange salad with orange yoghurt dressing + hazelnut-

also added a few strips of honey infused orange peels and some parsley sprigs. adore those exciting colours!!!

finishing off with a stir fry veg - would have been better if the egg was a tint more undercooked, then the runny yolk can cover more of the veg!!!


-Stir fry gai lan with oyster sauce + fried egg-
