Walk into a kitchen in any Indian home around the world and you’ll be guaranteed to find yourself some form of a Spice tin or ‘Masala Dabba’, usually in the top drawer nearest the cooker and next to that maybe their own chai masala mix too. A family’s Homemade Authentic masala recipes are handed down through the generations and in some cases may also come in a long lost relative’s spice tin. Mothers & Grandmothers pass onto their children continuing the family legacy.

Inspired by my recent trip to Goa.

Experimented this evening by making this all in one roasting dish Chicken curry

Kicked off first by making the masala (saucey paste) by chucking in all of the following and roasting for 30 mins in the oven...(where else??)
Baby plum toms, a few large red chillis, garlic, ginger and a good sprinkling of a few essential spices from Myspicetin! And some more chilli 🌶️😜🙏🏼
Don't forget Salt too!!!

Then whizzed it all up in the Ninja with a few dollops of Tom Puree.

In the same roasting dish (saving on the washing up!!) added in the chicken thighs & browned them off on the hob.

Then covered with half the paste I'd made
(I had made loads all part of the fun when u make it up as you go along...will prob freeze the rest?)

Squeeze of Lime, teaspoon of tamarind concentrate & half a tin of coconut milk and a good sprinkle of my family Garam masala.

Gave it a good ol' mix and back in the oven for approx 20-30 mins until your chicken is cooked...

Served with brown rice and garnished with fresh chopped Coriander & another squeeze of lime.

Tasted damn fine considering... it was made on the fly, with memories of Goa in my mind (just missing a cold Peoples Lager!)

Few little tweaks to make for next time and def going on the list for a proper video in the New Year.

Any ideas of what to call this dish or if it reminds you of anything let me know in the comments.
