This is one of the best protein alternative for vegetarians. It is also called "vegetable chicken". It has both protein and omega-3 replacing chicken and sea foods. To be frank, soya chunks curry is an acquired taste for me. My husband likes it a lot. For me I can eat it only when cooked with vegetable biriyani. But this time with minor changes to the cooking process, the gravy was tastier and we liked it.

Easy Chicken Curry (Addictive) Easy Chicken Curry (Addictive)

This curry is easy to make with just a few ingredients. Cleanup is super easy too. It was featured in the May 10, 2007 release of 'Highly Praised Side Dishes'.The origin of this recipeI adapted a recipe taught to me by my sister. Since then, I make either this smooth curry or the thick curry with store-bought roux depending on my mood. (Sometimes I crave the thick curry...)The origin of the name... An ex-boyfriend asked for the recipe right after we broke up. He suddenly craved it. I kindly shared it with him, hence the bold name of this recipe.

Chicken Makhani - Butter Chicken Curry Chicken Makhani - Butter Chicken Curry

I received a request for this curry's recipe, but it's a curry usually served at restaurants (i.e. not a home-cooked dish), so I tried to make it based on my past experiences eating it, and some research I did with books and the Internet. I aimed for these 3 things: 1. not covered with oil, 2. as healthy as possible, 3. a satisfying taste. I managed to create this dish after some experimenting with spices, etc. I don't mean to brag, but it's fantastic.If you substitute the chicken with bite-sized paneer, this will become a vegetarian recipe.If you substitute the chicken with bite-sized paneer, this will become a vegetarian recipe.The tartness of canned tomatoes should be reduced if you simmer them well. You can also add some sugar to balance out the flavors. Recipe by Plabar.

Umami-Packed Beef Tendon Curry Umami-Packed Beef Tendon Curry

A good stock comes out of beef tendons, so I tried using it in curry.A curry specialty shop makes this a week in advance, but that is difficult todo at home, so I just let it sit overnight. Letting it sit for even just a night will change the mildness etc .Please use a pressure cooker to shorten the cooking time for those of you that have one. Please slowly cook it as written for those of you who don't.It says to boil for 30 minutes, but please cook for longer if the beef tendons are hard when you poke them with chopsticks . For 2 people.

Indian Home-style Curry with Potatoes and Chickpeas Indian Home-style Curry with Potatoes and Chickpeas

This is a curry made regularly at my home in India, and so I recreated that home-style flavor. An everyday curry is modest in its spiciness. I made this to celebrate my one year anniversary of joining Cookpad late last March, bringing myself back to the initial humbleness of introducing a home-style curry. :)- Prep the chickpeas to the state where they can be cooked. Using canned peas in water is convenient too. Soy beans would be tasty too.- In regards to how to adjust the spiciness and how to find out the spiciness you prefer, please refer to my diary from June 2010. Then, add the spices accordingly with the Steps described. For 2 large servings. Recipe by Plabar

Indian Green Bell Pepper And Chicken Curry: Home Style Chicken Jalfrezi Indian Green Bell Pepper And Chicken Curry: Home Style Chicken Jalfrezi

I saw that bell peppers are in season and for sale at the market, so I made this recipe. A curry with bell peppers, onions, tomato and meat is called Jalfrezi, but it's not a family recipe, so I thought up the spices and aimed for a simple home cooking version.If you are a vegetarian, please use paneer instead of chicken.If you don't like food that's very spicy, omit the cayenne pepper and halve the amount of garam masala.If you are using cumin powder, add it with the ☆ spices. For 2 servings. Recipe by Plabar
