Hi there-
after reading so many recipes here I thought I throw one in here now myself.
I saw a tv cook making it the other day, it's of Indian origin I'd say.
For the marinade, you need yoghurt, salt, a little bit of sugar, minced
ginger, Madras Curry powder, and additional curcuma.
I also added 2 liquified dried habs.
Mix all this into the yoghurt; you'll need enough marinade to cover the
boneless skinless chicken breasts very well, and let sit in the fridge
overnight.
On the next day, take the meat out of the marinade, removing as much of the
marinade as possible, pat dry, and bake or grill in the oven for about 20
minutes until slightly brown and done. Leave a *little* bit of the marinade
on the meat because this will give a nice brownish color.
The tv cook served it with a cold sauce made of yoghurt, cucumber, apricots,
paprika, and salt.
The trick here is of course the yoghurt, and the result was very convincing
because the curry flavor came out very well (don't toss in too much of the
powder), and the heat was very pleasing and lasting, although most of the
marinade ingredients had been removed before baking.
Tonight I'm going to try this with ancho powder instead of curry, and
chipotle puree instead of habs (and I'll skip the ginger). I'm very curious
as to the resulting color... ;-)
Wolfgang.
