Malaysian Chicken Curry In Coconut Milk






What do you need

1 cup coconut milk
3 teaspoons of curry paste
1 tablespoon chilli flakes
The juice of one lime
2 cups of Jasmine rice
400 grams of chicken fillet
1 broccoli head
200 grams of asparagus
1 red onion
1 garlic clove
2 small papricas of each color (red, orange, yellow)
A handful of basil

This portion in enough for 4 people I'd say, but somehow we always manage to eat the whole thing.

What to do next

Wash the rice in a bowl until the water becomes clear. In a large pot bring the water to a boil. Add some lemon grass and basil inside the tea infuser. Now add the rice to the boiling water and throw the infuser in there. Let it cook under a lid for 18 minutes (over low heat). Remove from heat, fluff the rice up with a fork and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Clean the paprikas and cut into circles, now the onion. Chop the garlic into small pieces. Now cut off the broccoli florets, take the asparaguses and boil both over medium heat for 5 minutes. In a large pan heat coconut oil and sauté onion and garlic for a minute. On a smaller pan do the same with the paprikas. Cut the chicken fillet to as big or small pieces as you like and cook with onion and garlic for 5 minutes, add a pinch of salt. Now stir the coconut milk in there, also add the curry paste and lime juice. Throw in the paprikas, broccoli florets, asparaguses, basil leaves and chilli flakes and let it cook over a low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Enjoy the meal with cold ginger beer!

A little something about our weekend

Well, it sucked, ain't going to sugarcoat it. We barely saw each other because we both had work. On Sunday we went to this event called Paar Hilpu, where Panda also had to work (scroll down to see the outcome). After a while Bear got bored and went food shopping instead to make this delicious meal by the time Panda got home. Also I changed the recipe a little bit - we put 6 teaspoons of curry paste into it, yeah... definitely don't try that at home... Oh, and we've now started to hang out five times a week, instead of three. So far so good... 0 dishes thrown (though if you ever feel like it Panda, please use the ugly green ones)... No pictures of us this time, no we're still obnoxious to be around because the honeymoon phase never seems to get over, it was just a rough week. But we'll try a little harder next week. After all this isn't supposed to be some boring a## regular food blog.

Kisses,

Bear and Panda

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus







Shopping list: 
Asparagus (get the smaller ones), one pack is enough
Good prosciutto (at least 250g if you are hungry)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

What to do: 
Wash your asparagus and cut the tips off from root side. Throw them in a bowl and drizzle some olive oil on them. Twist some pepper and add a pinch of salt. Now give them a nice handy toss around the bowl.
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius, line the baking sheet with baking paper. Cut the prosciutto half so you have two smaller rectangles. Now wrap each asparagus sprout in prosciutto. Repeat times 213. Line them all up nicely on the baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes and enjoy!

As a bonus, try this for a nice spicy dipping sauce. Mix one part of mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce.

And now compete who could eat more of these delicious salty goodies!

Meanwhile on BearPandaTV

We were supposed to spend the Sunday on Aegna but since we slept in, missed the boat (we wouldn't have gotten tickets anyway), we decided to head to Paljassaare instead. While bear was trying to get her feet wet and acted like she was tanning I was shooting with Magnus (pics will be up on the blog soon!). After a nice day out in the sun and a delicious omelette in Gourmet Coffee we headed back home, had a quick power-nap and made some tasty-ass-asparaguses. Also we tried Pandas super awesome food picture table for the first time. What do you think?
