EDITING NOTE: I had to re-upload because I forgot the intro!
Welcome everyone to a brand new episode of Nikoli's Kitchen and also the first-ever episode of Table for Two! In this new series I'm going to ask one of my favorite creators or podcasters to give me a dish to make, and then bring them on the air to talk about the dish and their experience making it as well as their experiences in the kitchen as a whole. In this inaugural episode I'm thrilled to be joined by a very good friend, Dan of Netflix 'n Swill, who gave me a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe and actually made it live during our discussion! This was such a great time, and I really hope you enjoy the episode. I will be releasing the full uncut version of this discussion which went for nearly two hours over on Patreon in the coming days, so stay tuned. Thank you so much for listening!
The recipe Dan sent me and based his own on can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMfUsS9zeuw!
Featured Recipe for this Episode
Marinade
1 c Greek Yogurt, plain
Juice of 1 Lemon
4 cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
2 T Ginger, grated
2 t Garam Masala
1 t Hot Curry Sea Salt
3 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Place covered in the fridge overnight or for at least an hour.
Sauce
2 T Ghee or unsalted butter
1/4 white wine, semi-dry or dry
2 red onions, finely diced
4 cloves of Garlic, grated
2 T Ginger, grated
1/2 t Turmeric
1 t Ground coriander
1 t Ground cumin
1 t Garam Masala
1 t Hot Mexican Chili Powder
2 c Tomato Sauce
1 c Heavy Cream
Hot Curry Sea Salt, to taste
Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
Cilantro to garnish
Bring a large skillet to mid-high heat and add your ghee or butter.
Once the butter/ghee has melted (the butter should just be starting to brown), add your chicken in batches ensuring you do not crowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned and remove to a large bowl to rest. NOTE: Chicken does not need to be cooked through here as you'll be finishing it later.
Add white wine to pan and reduce heat to mid. Deglaze the pan, being sure to mix up all of the stuck-on bits from the chicken (this is your flavor!).
Add onions and begin to cook. Add some hot curry sea salt to sweat the onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until translucent and soft.
Add ginger and garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Add turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala. Cook for another 30 seconds.
Add tomato sauce, hot chili powder, salt, and cracked black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the tomato sauce thickens and begins turning a deep reddish brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Add the chicken and heavy cream (being sure to add any juices from the chicken resting!) and stir to combine. Cook this for another 10 minutes until mixture is a burnt orange color and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve!
