Leftover Chicken & Veg Curry

We love curries, seriously we could eat a curry every night of the week, whenever I have any leftovers the request for dinner is usually curry.


I had some leftover beer can chicken and roast veg from Sunday dinner so it just had to be a curry. You don't have to use leftover vegetables, add more chicken if you prefer.


Ingredients

1 onion, diced
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp hot paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp mild curry powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cm piece ginger, minced
300 g cooked chicken
200 g cooked veg
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp almond meal
1 tbsp flaked almonds
150 g Greek yoghurt
400 ml coconut milk

Method

1.  Heat a wok or large frying pan over a low heat, add butter. Add onions, sprinkle with a little salt and cover. Cook onions for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until translucent and soft but not browned.

2.  Once the onions cooked, add chilli flakes, spices, garlic and ginger, stir to combine, cook over a low heat, continue stirring for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

3.  Add chicken, leftover veg, tomato paste, almond meal, flaked almonds, yoghurt and coconut milk. Bring to a gently boil then reduce to a simmer, cook for 10 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tbsp cornflour with water to make a paste, add to sauce, stirring through until combined.

Enjoy with steamed or fried rice.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious.  A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...
