  Made Boneless chicken Dhansak, p. 146. Very good. Nicely balanced flavors: a stew made with dal and other vegetables. Used Kabocha squash.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Endive, Stilton, and roasted pear salad with pomegranate vinaigrette

  • TinyCitiKitchen on July 25, 2023

    I'm very fond of this salad. It's that rare bird (for me), an elegant fall/winter salad that can fit with any number of main courses for a dinner party. The flavors combine beautifully, and the textures are a satisfying range from creamy to crunchy.

• Curried monkfish "osso buco" with slow-roasted tomatoes and cauliflower couscous

  • Mdesorbo on November 17, 2024

    Be sure to adjust the cooking time if you’re using a different fish.

• Chinese one-pot chicken and rice

  • chawkins on September 24, 2015

    A very good version of this dish. I like the addition of shallots as an aromatics for the rice. I cut the rice down to a cup and a quarter and adjusted the amount of broth added but kept everything the same since I have to watch my carbo intake. This may become my new go-to for Chinese chicken and rice.

• Crispy duck schnitzel with hazelnut brown butter and beet, orange, and arugula salad

  • TinyCitiKitchen on July 19, 2023

    Always fun to find a new way to cook duck. I love the flavors of this: the bit of cheese in the crust, the way the orange and hazelnut come together. And sometimes you just need a reason to swing a mallet and pound something!

• Chicken satay with marjoram and garlic marinade

  • chawkins on July 27, 2017

    Very good, even though the cook (my husband) overcooked the skewer a little bit and it was a bit dry. Instead of fresh marjoram, I used fresh oregano which is suggested as an alternative.

• Spicy peanut sauce

  • chawkins on July 27, 2017

    Very good, served with the chicken satay. I halved the recipe and still have a lot of sauce. But this is listed under Malaysian satay party with sesame-cucumber salad together with three different satay, a beef, a lamb and a chicken and I only made the chicken one. Making a third of the recipe might have provided a more appropriate amount.

• Sesame-cucumber salad

  • chawkins on July 27, 2017

    Sesame-cucumber salad, not our favorite, just cucumber with coarsely ground toasted sesame seeds and black pepper, no liquid component, so it was somewhat dry.
