Title: Coeurs a la Creme
Categories: desserts
Yield: 4

8 oz. unsalted cream cheese
10 oz soured cream
2 Tbsp caster sugar
2 large egg whites

To serve
fruit of your choice, such as raspberries and redcurrants
4 Tbsp double cream

Quite simply combine the cream cheese, soured cream and sugar thoroughly in a
mixing bowl. Then whisk the egg whites until they are stiff and fold them
carefully into the cream mixture. The whole lot now needs to be drained –
overnight – in a cool place, and this is done by placing the mixture in a
suitably-sized square of muslin, and placing this in a sieve over a bowl.
When it has drained completely, pile the mixture into small dishes or
ramekins, arrange your fruit on top, then pour a tablespoon of cream over
each serving.

Title: Chicken Tandoori #2 of 2
Categories: Indian
Yield: 4 Servings

– continued below

5. Take the chicken from the refrigerator at least 1
hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
The chicken is now ready to be either roasted in the
oven or broiled over an electric or charcoal grill.

TO ROAST IN THE OVEN: Start heating the oven to
500-550 degrees F. Take the chicken legs out of the
marinade. Brush them with ghee or oil, and place them
on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan. Set the pan
in the middle level of the oven, and roast for 25-30
minutes, or until the meat is cooked through. There is
no need to baste while the chicken pieces are
roasting, because the enclosed environment keeps the
chickens from drying excessively. (I made the chicken
this way, and it tasted just like the Indian
restaurant’s did.)

TO BROIL INDOORS: Preheat the broiler. Brush the grill
with a little oil to prevent the meat’s sticking.
Place the chicken legs, slashed side up, on the grill,
and brush the slashed side with ghee or oil. Cook 2 to
3 inches away from the heat for 20 minutes. Turn and
cook the other side for another 10 minutes, or until
the chicken pieces are cooked through. Brush often
with ghee or oil during cooking.

TO GRILL OUTDOORS: Fire the coal well in advance
(about 1-1/2 hours before you are ready to begin
cooking), so that a white ash forms over the surface
of the coal. This is when the coal is at its hottest.
Place the grill at least 5 inches away from the heat,
and rub generously with oil. Place the chicken pieces,
slashed side up, over the grill and brush them with
ghee or oil. Let chicken cook without turning for 10
minutes. Turn, baste the other side, and cook for 10
minutes. continue to cook, turning and basting the
chicken every 10 minutes, until it is done. The
cooking time for broiling and grilling usually varies
widely. Much depends upon the intensity of the heat
and its distance from the chicken. The point to
remember is that the chicken pieces have been
marinating in a very strong tenderizing solution for
two days and therefore will cook much faster than
standard broiled or barbecued chicken. Serve the
chicken immediately, lightly brushed with ghee or oil
and accompanied by Roasted Onions (Bhone Piaz).

Yield: 6 servings

1 tb Whole fennel seeds
3 1/4 c Plain yoghurt
6 tb Vegetable oil

1/2 ts Whole cloves
2 1/2 ts Salt
1 pn Asafetida
3 lb Cubed lamb
4 ts Paprika
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1 1/2 ts Dried ginger
3 2/3 c Water or beef broth
1/4 ts Garam masala

Grind the fennel seeds until find. Put the yoghurt in a bowl and beat it
with a fork until smooth and creamy. Heat the oil in a large pot over a
high flame. When hot, put in the cinnamon and cloves. A second later,
put in the ground asafetida. A second after that, put in all the meat and
the salt. Stir the meat an cook, still on a high flame for about 5
minutes. Now put in the paprika and cayenne and give the meat a good stir.
Slowly add the yoghurt, a small amount at a time, stirring the meat
vigorously as you do so. Add all the yoghurt this way. Keep cooking on
high heat until all liquid has boiled away and the meat pieces have
browned slightly. Add the fennel and ginger. Give the meat some more
good stirs. Now put in the water or broth, cover so as to leave the lid
very slightly ajar, and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Cover
completely and cook on low heat for another 45 minutes or until meat is
tinder. Stir a few times as the meat cooks, making sure that there is
always some liquid in the pot. Remove the lid and add the garam masala. You
should have a thick, reddish brown sauce. If it is too thin, boil away
some of the liquid.
