This is my mom's shrimp curry recipe. Tastes great with hot rotis.




Ingredients

1 lb shrimps
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
2 green chillis, finely chopped
Salt


Heat oil in a sauce pan. Add the garlic and saute for 1-2 mins. Add the onions and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes and add rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat till the shrimps are cooked. Add a cup of warm water and simmer on medium heat for about 30 mins. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Chicken Sandwich with Ranch-Mayo Dressing

This is a hot sandwich made with garlic bread. The garlic butter is made fresh and adds an extra zing.




Ingredients

Loaf of Vienna (or your favorite) bread
2 chicken breasts cut in to thin strips
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oil

For Garlic Butter mix
1/4 cup softened butter
1 tsp grated garlic
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp oregano

For Ranch-Mayo dressing mix
1 tbsp Ranch
3 tbsp Mayo
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper

Salad mix or lettuce

Sprinkle the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Add the flour to coat the chicken strips.
Heat oil and fry the chicken strips till golden brown. Drain and let them cool.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut the loaf in half and butter both the side. Bake for 5-10 mins with buttered side facing down. Remove and flip them over. Add the mozzarella cheese and bake for
3-4 mins till the cheese just melts. Remove and add the chicken and ranch-mayo dressing. Add the salad mix or the lettuce. Enjoy it warm!
