Nurselady's curry

[Desertthorn]

Ok, so last night, I made nurselady's curry with the chicken and I am hear to tell you that it was so good that I ate too much and was way uncomfortable for the rest of the evening.
I used cauliflower in place of the potatoes and I didn't have an cilantro, and it called for a cup of coconut milk and I added the whole darn can cause what do you do with left over coconut milk.
There is just enough for lunch today and I might share it with my hubby who also loved it, or he may just get a tuna salad......

I also made Nurselady's curry on Sunday for dinner. My husband and I loved it. It reminded us of the curry at our favorite Indian restaurant back home 1200 miles away. I'll be trying her green curry sometime in the next few days. I can't wait!

I am sooooo happy you enjoyed the curry ...it is soooo good and so good for you!!!!!!!! :icondance :icondance :icondance Curry whores unite!!!!....where are your from Aphex?....that recipe is one I made up from memories of my childhood.. it is the aroma and taste of Island curry that I have tried to recreate in that curry you ate..Indian/afroCaribbean flavors....My mother passed away when I was 3 and the angels that took my brother and I under their wings, treated us like blood happened to be from the Caribbean! Trinnidad and the Virgin Islands.made the most wonderful and spicy curries that I enjoyed as far back as I can remember!!!.....so here I was a little white kid with red hair and a brown skinned daddy in an Southern Italian neighborhood in Providence RI raised by the most beautiful woman from the Islands ...tell me I did not get to eat well growing up!!!!(as well as get a lot of strange and questions as to my origin!!!!) The sadness of loosing a mother was redeemed by my eclectic upbringing and very loving psuedomoms!!!...so curry for me is a labor of love!!!
thanks to Juliette and Shirley!!!!.... :hug :hug :hug

Love, Nursey

I'm from Michigan. One thing detroit has to offer is awsome food. I never appreciated that until I moved to florida. We had awsome Thai, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese and Ethiopian restaurants there. Florida doesnt even compare. Most of the restaurants down here are not worth your time or $$$$. My husband and I love food from other cultures. I'm actually Italian and ate so much spaghetti growing up, that I can honestly say I never want it again. And my poor hubby had TV dinners growing up. We're always willing to try something new.

Please post your Malaysian recipe. I havent had Malaysian food since I was in NYC 3 years ago. I'm dying to try it.

Don't mind me pickin your brain for all of your delish food recipes. You should really publish a book. You're recipes are rockin!

Take care and thanks!

Ethiopian food ROCKS!!!!! OMG we have some wonderful joints here just ask Desserthorn she went to one with me!!!!....
I am thinking Teresa you need to come to Seattle!!!!

I love to go into a place taste a food then run home and recreate it from memory!!!! I have not ever been able to follow a recipe exactly myself.... I always tweek it!!! no matter what but this Malay curry is the bomb I will post it later for you and anyone who wants it ....I miss working with in house interpreters it was a chance of a lifetime getting recipes from Malaysia, Vietnam, Somalia, Korea...name the country... I scored ...food is a universal language of love,caring and healing!!!...and now that I have learned how to eat like we do here in Atkinsland... it is not that hard to make all these wonderful Ethnic dishes and fit them in beautifully! so we do not eat the injera bread or white rice in the Ethiopian places .or the rice noodles in a bowl of Pho!....but the curries and lentils...the greens...OMG there is a wonderful world of food that does not include the lame white carbs we can live with out!!!!
Ok I will post the curry and thank you so much for the nice things you say ... I hope the next recipes live up to your compliments!!!!... :hug ....

Malay Chicken Curry
from The Harborview Family Medicine clinic

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
this is best if the whole chicken is chopped into half the normal size pieces with the bone still in ...ok like you chop the breast into four pieces instead of two and the leg and thigh separate
3 Tbsp oil
1 can of coconut milk

in a food processor put all these things to make a curry paste
3 stalks lemon grass, bruised
15 shallots
10 dried hot redchillies, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes or until soft.
1 tomato seeded
1 inch piece of fresh galangal (if you can not find this just use more ginger)
1 inch fresh ginger
5 fat cloves garlic
chop with the steel blade until this forms a paste set in a bowl

take another small bowl and put the following
either 1/4 cup good madras curry powder or you can add the following do not do both:
1 Tbsp coriander powder
1 Tbsp cummin powder
1 tsp fennel
1 inch stick cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste

heat your deep skillet or wok put the oil in and gently saute :icondance turning and moving the paste for 3 min until the whole house smells like the paste!
add the dry spice and saute' :icondance a bit more Add chicken pieces , stirring frequently until chicken is well coated with spices.
then add the coconute milk simmer uncovered stirring from time to time until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened. (Approximately 20 minutes)
you can serve this with a nice saute :icondance of green beans or swamp cabbage...enjoy!!!! you will be so fragrant yourself after this one ..sometimes I eat so much curry my socks even smell like it!!!! LOL

Actually NL, we never got to that Ethopian place. We have done Persian, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Thai, that South American place, Chinese, Japanese and ohhh Korean, Viet Nam where I got my first taste of French pressed coffee), Cuban, Jewish, (that Deli where they served that delicious cake) Hippy,and some pretty horrid places that I just as soon forget.

I don't think so 2big. The dried make a better paste and have a different flavor than the fresh. My opionion

did tooo we did Kokeb in Seattle you were there I swear we had food out of baskets!!! or maybe it was Debra now that I think of it....hmmmmmm damn thanks for bringing the cake up again :anger :anger :anger that was the best cake I have ever eaten...damn it...

Lynne is right 2big dried makes the paste better the fresh ones are not good for a paste ...you can do it but it will not be as good
