Coriander Chicken
2008-03-28 15:43:00
I didn't take any pictures of my stir fried coriander chicken dish. It just looked like chicken drummets in some dark sauce. I am not quite equipped photography wise or tableware wise so I wouldn't do the dish justice.I remember long ago when I first attempted cooking, I cooked Ketumbar (Coriander) Chicken based on a recipe I cut out from the newspaper. And it was a really flavorful chicken dish with lots of gravy. I don't have the recipe with me here in China - I probably have it glued into a book where I keep all my recipes. So next best thing - I googled for a similar recipe!Most of the recipes I browsed through called for coriander seeds, toasted or pan fried for extra flavor. I only had coriander powder. And I don't quite like following recipes closely - being lazy and all. So I just go by taste. I knew that I wanted my chicken to taste like coriander but I also needed it to be spicy for my very picky husband. His ratings go sky high if the dish is spicy!For the marinade, I...

Special Kadala Curry/Chickpeas with Coriander and Star Anise
2008-02-15 09:17:00
The kadala curry at home always tastes different when my mom makes it. Its a mix of a lot of cuisines, I am sure, but the end result is always yummy. This one is from my archives, a recipe that I always wanted to document.What I Used:Serves 2Chickpeas/Kabuli Channa/Velutha Kadala - 1 cupCoriander - 4 tbspCoconut - 4 tbspRed chillies - 4Garlic - 6 podsStar anise - 2For tempering:Oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves.How I Made It:1. The chickpeas should be soaked in water overnight. Pressure cook this for 2 whistles, with some turmeric and salt.2. Roast the coriander, garlic, red chillies, star anise and coconut in a non-stick pan till it emits a nice smell and turns golden (about 5-7 minutes). Let it cool.3. Grind the roasted masala to a coarse paste with very little water.4. Heat oil, let the mustard seeds crackle. Add curry leaves and some more red chillies if you like the curry spicy. Add the masala paste to this and stir for a minute. Add the cooked chick peas and adjust water and sa...

Carrot and Coriander Soup
2008-01-11 13:43:00
This is another one of those recipes that I've wanted to make for a long time, but have somehow never got around to it. A few times, I've gone to the shop with the express reason of getting the ingredients, only to find there wasn't any nice looking Fresh Coriander, and so have ended up buying a couple of Leeks and Potatoes and making that soup instead.I don't ever remember having this soup as a child, so couldn't just steal my mum's recipe on this one. In fact, I think the first time I ever tried this soup was when a friend had a carton of the Covent Garden Soup Company version in the fridge. Searching for a recipe on Google revealed lots of different variations on ingredients and preparation methods. A lot of the more 'British' sounding recipes seemed to keep things relatively simple, and just have the one clove of Garlic and relatively small quantities of Fresh Coriander (obviously from people who buy their Coriander in the Supermarket, rather than getting big cheap b...

Maple, Coriander, and Pomegranate Glazed Acorn Squash
2007-12-02 21:51:00
This is another side dish I served for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner. I had a lot of fun with taking traditional Thanksgiving ingredients and putting a twist on them. In this one, acorn squash (which I think is boring) gets a sweet, tart, and smoky glaze: the rich maple syrup keeps things traditional, and the pomegranate molasses and coriander provide a great foil to the sweetness of the syrup. Maple, Coriander, and Pomegranate Glazed Acorn Squash(serves 4 as a side dish) 2 medium-sized acorn squash1 tablespoon canola oil, divided1/3 cup grade B maple syrup2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses½ teaspoon ground coriander½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons unsalted butter½ cup fresh pomegranate arils**************Heat an oven to 350° F.

The Relationship Between Coriander & Cilantro
2007-10-23 15:00:00
So, what is the relationship between coriander & cilantro? That’s what I’ve been wondering and I think I’ve tracked down the answer. The word ‘coriander’ can be used to describe the whole of an annual plant in the parsley family: leaves, stems, seeds & all. However, when speaking of coriander, most are referring to the spice produced from the seeds of the herb. The leaves of the plant are called cilantro, which derives from the Spanish word for coriander. Ahhh, this makes sense, since the leaves and the ripened seeds taste quite different from each other. Coriander seems to get a better rap than its counterpart cilantro. Coriander has a pleasing lemon-like flavor accompanied by a sweet aroma. Cilantro, on the other hand, is quite a different story. I found it hilarious that there is actually a site out there that bears much hatred to the wonderful leaf- IHateCilantro.com. You should really browse around, it’s pretty cute. Make sure you check out the gra...

Tropical Dinner Part 2: Coconut Coriander Rice

It worked out perfectly: the coconut milk lent a silky quality and subtle perfume and flavor of coconut to the rice, and the coriander was just the right foil - smoky and earthy - to the sweetness of the coconut.Coconut Coriander Rice(serves 4) 1 cup basmati rice 1 cup water¾ cup coconut milk ¼ teaspoon saltHeaping ¼ teaspoon ground coriander *************** Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear.

TGRWT#3 – Strawberry Shortcakes with a Coriander Buttermilk Biscuit and B
2007-06-29 18:51:00
 I’m pretty ambivalent on the subject of molecular gastronomy; I guess I’m just not trendy enough when it comes to my food. I would say, however, the smell and taste of what I eat is of utmost importance to me, so in essence I should be into what I see as the culinary cultivation of the best combination of both things, right? I guess I prefer a little mystery and magic with a touch of intuitiveness, instead of scientific prowess, in the kitchen. Whatever the case, where would we be without science and who am to turn my nose up at the pursuit of excellence in the kitchen? When I read about this month’s They Go Really Well Together event, I think I pretty much knew from the get-go that I wanted to make some sort of strawberry shortcake. Like Chubby Hubby, I’m very susceptible to suggestion, and had just seen a strawberry shortcake recipe featured on Baking Bites. I thought on it, consulted my darling (culinary schooled) girlfriend Rachel, thought on it som...
