Topic: Chicken Jaipuri

[Naga]

...Did you use chopped peppers in the end as well as chopped tomatoes...

Yes, Rich. I pre-cooked half a red pepper and half a green pepper thinly sliced lengthwise. I'm a big fan of fresh coriander too, so in addition to a good handful going into the sauce, there was also a good garnish which went on after I took the photos.

MMmmmm   very tempted to add this to Saturday's menu.   

Question for Rich

I understand the bit about mixing the jaipuri powder in advance but you then say you add one spoon of the already mixed powder. Is this just a massive spoon. ie. the quantity of mixed powder = 10 teaspoons for this one recipe?

I think that makes sense. 

EDIT: -  Just read this again and confused myself even more.  You list the individual quantities of powdered spice but then describe adding just 1tbs of the pre-prepared mix. The quantities etc would be totally different.  Additionally the picture of the ingredients shows a pot contain both jaipuri mix AND chilli but the mix already has the chilli in it.

Doh. Sorry to be a pain but the two given alternatives for adding the spices appear to be at variance with each other or have I totally lost the plot and missed something here ( highly possible )

Hi

What is the ratio of cream and yoghurt please?

...add one spoon of the already mixed powder...

Without wishing to speak for Rich, RD, my reading of it that you prepare the Jaipuri spice mix by combining the spices in the ratio:

3 x garam masala, 3 x dried mint, 1 x cumin powder, 1 x fennel powder, 1 x turmeric powder, 1 x chilli powder.

1 tbsp of this Jaipuri spice mix goes into the pan per generous single potion serving.

...What is the ratio of cream and yoghurt...

I made it with a 50/50 mix and it worked well, albeit I doubled up on all the quantities to make a generous double portion. I used 5 large, fresh Spanish vine tomatoes which ASDA currently sell at

Sorry for the confusion guys
mix altogether

My Jaipuri spice mix - all powdered - you can can dry and grind fresh if you want - but grind to powder

1 tbsp. Garam masala
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Fennel
1 tsp.  Turmeric
1 tsp. Chilli
1 tbsp. dried mint
Mix altogether and store.

This is the spice mix to use then add the chilli powder to your taste. So to reiterate just add one spoon of the mixed Jaipuri powder.

Sorry for the time delay.

Oh dear. thought I had dried mint  -  easily remedied.

Now whole milk powder?  haven't had that for over 20 years when the kids were babies!!!

Ocado ( tomorrow's delivery ) only do dried skimmed milk, can I use this instead? I suppose it will just not be quite so creamy. I wonder, does this powder add texture or taste or both?

Determined to do this one.    Off now to grind some fennel 

[RubyDoo]

Did this as a double portion tonight and it went down very well. Bit mild but that can be altered. Very fragrant and not too sickly. Used skimmed dried milk powder and cut back on most of the double cream in favour of low fat yogurt. The ceylon nuts here actually preferred this today. Used fresh chicken and sealed in oil at start.  No pics sorry.

Not sure this counts as a Jaipuri but who cares what it is called if it hits the spot.
