Saucy Spice Company
Foodie friends Andrew & Raewyn gave us a box of spices as a house-warming present.
I’ve seen these in shops before, but never tried them.
Mmm… Moroccan Lamb Tagine! Beef Massaman! Butter Chicken and Beef Rendang!I had some chicken in the fridge, so the first one I made was Rangoon Lime Chicken.
I love the packaging.
This is what’s inside; a little cellophane package of yumminess.The exhaust fan above our stove is on the fritz, so I opted to cook this outside on the wok-burner attached to our BBQ.
It was very easy. Heat the oil, seal the chicken pieces, toss in the spices, mix it all about, add a few extra bits (the full recipe is enclosed in the pack) and simmer for half an hour. I steamed some broccolini and made some basmati rice to go with it. It was definitely ‘medium’ spicy; too spicy for the kids, perfect for PJ and I. I’m going to visit their website and see what they’ve got in the ‘mild’ category.
It was delicious, and I can understand why it made it into the ‘Favourites’ box.
The kids have requested the Butter Chicken next. I’m curious to see how it compares with the Butter Chicken I’ve been making for the past couple of years.
@Tracey – the recipe I use is from The Pioneer Woman, via her Tasty Kitchen blog (the link is at the bottom of this post). But if you were asking for the recipe from the Saucy Spice Company it’s probably no use to you unless you’ve got their spice mix.
I love butter chicken, can I have the recipe?
Ugh, I said “Tikki” masala the first time I commented. I suppose I can forgive myself since it IS only 5am and I haven’t had my coffee yet.
Oooh it looks *divinely yummy* ! I’ve only made Chicken Tikki Masala before (from scratch) and butter chicken/chicken korma/lamb rogan josh from a jar before. I was so happy with how the chicken tikka came out (Pastor Ryan – from The Pioneer Woman’s recipe) that now I don’t want to cook the others until I’ve found good recipes for them.
