Instant Pot Butter Chicken

July 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never had Butter Chicken before, you definitely need to try it. Butter chicken is a lot like tikka masala, but it more mild in the spice department. Tikka masala tends to have a bit more heat to it where as the butter chicken is the least spicy of these similar curry like dishes. Normally I go with tikka masala, but my kiddo wanted to try a non-spicy curry, so I decided to go with butter chicken instead. It’s great for a first timer.

This Butter Chicken is suuuuuper easy to make in the instant pot and is done in no time at all. Literally 15 minutes and you’ve got dinner ready to go. You get so much flavor packed into this dish that it’s hard to explain. It’s warm without being spicy at all and is amazing when served over jasmine rice…

Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry

November 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a handful of unique dishes over the years that make for a fun pumpkin/fall twist on classic recipes. This Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is one of them! One of my favorite Fall inspired recipes is this Pumpkin Ramen from a few years back, which reminds me that I need to make it again this year since I haven’t yet. But this Chicken & Sweet Potato Curry is not only good, but it’s healthy AND perfectly festive as the weather starts to cool off.

Nothing will warm you up quicker than a warm meal that’s also full of warm flavors! I’ve always loved the mix of pumpkin and curry. Curry already tends to have warmth from curry powder and cayenne, which as it turns out, both pair super well with pumpkin…

Skinny Turkey Kofta

March 25, 2015 Amanda Plott

I think the first time that I learned of a Kofta was about a year or two ago amidst one of the many reality cooking TV shows that I frequently watch; which is one of the sources that I get so much of my inspiration from. I thought it sounded pretty great! A seasoned meatloaf or meatball on a stick? Perfect!

Still don't know what a Kofta is? Well, it's basically a mixture of meat, bread crumbs or rice, and spices to form into meatballs or skewered patties. There are a lot of variations out there, but today I'm going with a healthier play on a turkey Kofta with a sort of Greek or Lebanese twist. I added in chopped onions, egg, and some traditional spices to the meat, and served it with a lemon tahini sauce on the side.

I would have served it with some tzatziki, but I am not a fan at all of cucumbers. Sorry all!...
