‧₊˚ 🥘chicken curry
what you'll need: - sunflower oil - one onion - three chicken breasts (approx. 500g) - two cloves of garlic - two tsp of minced ginger - two tsp of cumin - two tsp coriander - one tsp cardamom - one tsp nutmeg - one tsp cinnamon - ½ tsp of chilli powder - ½ tsp of turmeric - salt - pepper - two tsp of tomato paste/puree - 120ml of plain yoghurt - 120ml of coconut or heavy cream - two tsp of ground almonds - one tbsp of sugar
step one: about thirty minutes before cooking, dice up your chicken into small cubes and marinate it in milk to tenderize it. once it's done marinating, heat the oil in a large pan until it's hot. dice your onion, cook it for five minutes, and stir often until it's softened.
step two: add the cubed chicken and cook for five minutes until it's sealed while stirring occasionally. add garlic, all the spices and the tomato paste. then simmer it on low heat for about two minutes, until the chicken is completely coated in all the spices and the paste.
step three: add the yogurt, coconut/heavy cream, ground almonds, and sugar. stir everything, bring it to a gentle boil, and then simmer for about eight to ten minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through. serve with rice, and some additional cream on top, and you're done!

Cooking staples I like to have in my kitchen
Hello internet, my name is Shroomi and I like to cook!
I've created this blog to share recipes and tips as well as learn some tricks from the cooking community here in tumblr 👩🏻🍳✧˖°🫧🥙˙ᵕ˙₊⊹
On this first post, I'd like to share some cooking staples I like to have in my kitchen. Please note that I don't always use all of them for a dish, instead choosing to combine them to get unique and wonderful flavours whenever I cook something ‧₊˚ ⋅ 𓐐𓎩 ‧₊˚ ⋅
Salt: I find it crucial to season lightly my ingredients as to enhance their natural flavour.
Herbs: They always add a nice touch of freshnesss to my dishes and they can give an extra touch to a dish. Plus, if you can't use salt in your dishes due to health issues, using some fresh or dried herbs will help make the food less bland.
Soy sauce: Same as the salt. I love little touch it adds to my food. Plus, combined with some sugar, it can make a very nice glaze, and diluted, it can be used to marinate meats or eggs.
Vinegar: I like to use if when making salad dressings along with salt, oil and soy sauce or herbs. I love its acidity, which is why i use it to marinate or pickle vegetables and fish.
Sugar: I use it for desserts, obviously, and for caramelizing onions or chicken. I may replace it with honey sometimes, but only when I know its flavour won't overpower the rest of the ingredients
Garlic: I live off this stuff. Making a stir-fry? Put some garlic in there. Breakfast toast? Rub some of that good stuff on the bread. Making soup? Throw some garlic cloves in there. Need a sauce? Just mash them with olive oil for an allioli or add some parsley in there as well. Garlic is just so versatile oh my god. And, as with the herbs, you can add it to your food to give it a bit of an extra kick if you can't use salt.
Spicy sauce: I love me some spicy sauce to add to my stir fries, my noodles or my fried eggs... The one I use now was gifted by a family friend from Mexico, and we've been using it for a while.
I would add smoked mild paprika and cinnamon to the list because I do use them sometimes, but I don't use them that much, so I wouldn't call them staples. And no, I did not put pepper on the list. I don't like black pepper. I know 99% of the world's population likes to season steaks and vegetables and well, anything really, with both salt and black pepper but I just hate it. Hate eating a steak and biting into a piece of pepper, can't really see what's so great about it... Eh.
