Supplementary Recipes Chat / Pre cooking chicken fillets
« on: October 10, 2006, 09:47 PM »
In reply to boab's thread from a while ago (which I've just read!) about pre cooking chicken fillets:


I always wrap my chicken breast fillets in foil and pop in a preheated oven (electric fan assisted @140 ...gas mk 5?, you will have to check that one) for 35 mins. They cook in their own juice and always come out tender and juicy, ready to cube and pop into a curry!  :P

Thanks CP,
We have since moved house - the house you see is the first house we bought after we got married.It was a terraced house and I always referred to it as the tardis because (as with many terraced houses) viewed from the outside it looked quite small, but as you ventured inside the place suddenly 'opened up'. The back yard had the high retaining stone wall that you see on the photo. The wall may well have been built before the houses(1904) I'm not sure about that, but I found it a fascinating feature, and it was the wall that gave me the idea to build the patio - a unique backdrop if you like.
Anyway CP, thanks for taking the time to view my site, I'm glad you found something of interest on there!. Do you know where abouts in Middleton your mate bought his house, it would be spooky if it was Boarshaw Road!

Hi All,

Has anyone ever been despicable enough to rummage through the waste bins of Indian restaurants (you know, the big bins, out the back)?  ;D  If so, what have you found regarding the ingredients and brands that they use?


...You haven't have you Cory Ander?

I have spotted big tubs of Khyber vegetable ghee  outside my local Indian restaurant and so that is what I use!. I am also sure that powdered garlic or garlic granules are used  as well as fresh garlic in the cooking of a typical BIR dish.

You know, it's amazing how many times over the last 20 years or so I have bought a new book or seen a recipe and thought WOW... Yes that is it...that is the secret!!...only to be disappointed at  the end result. With this site I am getting excited again as there are quite a few ingredients, tips and ideas I hadn't thought of or tried out yet. So this weekend I will be bringing out the 'big pan' again, crying into my onions and opening  the kitchen windows and door!...or should I just get a takeout...only joking of course, slap my wrists  :-X
