• In a skillet cook the garlic and the gingerroot in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until the garlic is softened, add the cream, and cook the mixture, whisking, until it is thickened slightly. Whisk in the vinegar, the curry powder, the red pepper flakes, and the chutney.
• Add the dressing to the pasta mixture, tossing the salad to combine it well, and season the salad with salt and pepper.

• Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken slices with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with the remaining curry powder. Remove onions to a plate, add a bit more oil to the pan and add the chicken in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side over medium heat; remove to a plate.
• Return onions to the pan and add sour cream. Stir into the onions and cook, stirring constantly over low heat, until the mixture is hot. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through, turning once. Garnish and serve with white rice.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN CREAMY CURRY SAUCE

• 2. Cook chicken, stirring, until it loses its 'raw' look, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with the shallots and curry powder; stir to blend. Cook for 2 minutes or so, til chicken is done. With the small/thin pieces it will not take long. Do not overcook. Transfer all to a bowl.
• 3. Add wine to the skillet and cook over high heat for about 3 minutes, or until it is reduced by about half. Add the cream to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl holding chicken,and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat for 4 minutes.

CHICKEN IN CREAMY TOMATO CURRY: CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator up to overnight.
• For the sauce: When you're ready to make the curry, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and serrano peppers. Saute until lightly browned around the edges. Add the tomato paste and cook until the tomato has darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and the paprika and saute for about 1 minute to draw out their flavors.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. You may need more water depending on how much liquid the tomatoes give off.
• Meanwhile, fire up your grill. When it is nice and hot, lightly brush it with oil. Place the chicken on the grill, shaking off some of the excess marinade. Cook until it's charred, about 2 minutes on each side. (Don't worry that the chicken will still be a little uncooked, it finishes cooking in the sauce).
• Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor, or use an immersion blender, and process until smooth. Pour back into the skillet and bring back up to a boil. Add the chicken and fenugreek leaves, if using. Take the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir through. Garnish with minced fresh cilantro, and serve over rice, with naan, or a crusty piece of bread!
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

SARASOTA'S SIMPLE CREAMY CURRY CROCK POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Chicken -- In a large saute pan on medium high to high heat, add the oil and saute the chicken until lightly golden brown on each side. Don't over cook, you are just getting a light sear on the chicken. Remove from the pan and let cool.
• Crock Pot -- Once cool, add to the crock pot. NOTE: If doing this step the night before, just add to the crock pot along with the cut onions in a baggie, put the lid on and put in the refrigerator until the am. It saves time so you don't have to sear the chicken in the morning.
• If not, after you add the chicken, finish by mixing the curry powder and garlic right into the jar of salsa and pour that and the water right over the chicken. Add in the sliced onion and put on the lid.
• Cook -- 6-8 hours on low. As we know, newer crock pots tend to cook hotter, and also the size and style matters as well. My oval takes 6 hours, 7 for my round one. However is you don't do the pan searing step, they may take longer and especially if you buy bone inches But I think 6 hours is a good starting time to check them.
• Finish -- One the chicken is done. Remove from the heat to a plate and cover with foil. Add the sour cream and parsley to the salsa for a nice creamy sauce. Just stir to combine, it will heat up in just minutes.
• Serve -- I prefer to serve this over rice and maybe garnish with some diced scallions. This really is a nice easy dish with great flavor. ENJOY!
