Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Chicken Tikka Masala ~ page 138

For Adam's birthday he wanted Indian food, so this was on the menu. Always taste your jalapeno before adding it all, some can be very mild, and others can be pure fire. I just used half of one in this time.
Too much Food Network watching taught me to peel fresh ginger with the tip of a spoon, scraping it off...then to grate the ginger instead of mincing...gets the flavor released more, and is super easy!

Below is a picture of the chicken marinating in a zip lock baggie...makes clean up so much easier!

The only problem that I had with this recipe was with the coconut milk that I bought. I was trying out a new brand...see picture below for what not to buy! It was too watery. I usually use a brand called " A Taste of Thai" and it is thicker. It wasn't a huge problem, I just had to simmer it a bit longer to thicken it up, it didn't effect the taste any.
