  • 1 kg mixed frozen vegetables from the supermarket (you can choose and chop your own, if you like)
  • 28g Butter Chicken Curry Masala
  • 200g Coconut milk powder

  • 3g Ginger powder
  • 75g Onion powder
  • 24g Salt

  • 600g Sour cream
  • 200g Tomato paste

Method:

Modern Recipe Method

Melt the butter and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Sauté until the onion is soft. Lower heat, add the Butter Chicken Curry Masala, mix well, frying until aromatic. If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water to enable the spice to fry. Add the chicken and seal well. Add the remaining ingredients. Cook until the chicken is tender and reduce the gravy with the lid off until thick.

 

Traditional Recipe Method

Melt the butter; add the chillies, ginger and coriander. Sauté for a few minutes on medium heat, add the Butter Chicken Curry Masala, mix well, frying until aromatic. If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water to enable the spice to fry. Add the pureed onion and garlic and cook until mixture is well mixed, add the chicken and seal well, and then add the remaining ingredients. Cook until done and salt to taste. To thicken the gravy, simmer with the lid off until reaching the desired consistency. Garnish and serve hot with naan bread or rice and tomato chutney.

 

Method for the way we cook it at shows

We cook this in a rice cooker but you could use a pan (we advise you do not use a slow cooker as this could overcook the chicken).

Prepare chicken by boiling in a pot until cooked, remove all skin and bones whilst shredding all the meat into a new bowl. Keep 400ml of broth.

In the rice cooker, add 750g of shredded chicken, 400ml chicken broth, the frozen vegetables and tomato paste. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add all other dry ingredients. Mix well.

Stir in sour cream, heat thoroughly.

Enjoy.

Taipan Glazing Chicken and Lamb Pairings

The magic in the box…

Lip smacking Loco Lime and Mongolian Mint Pairing

A fruity minty match, just crying out for a juicy lamb roast or chops.  Giving a new and updated twist to the mint sauce we all remember growing up.

Lamb, being a rich and flavourful meat, pairs well with the bright and refreshing flavours of lime and mint. The acidity of lime helps to cut through the richness of the lamb, while the mint adds a cool and herbaceous note that complements the meat’s natural flavour. The combination of these flavours creates a well-balanced and delicious Sunday roast that is enjoyed by the whole family.

 

Mango Madness and East Coast Buffalo Wing Rub

Mango is such a popular Aussie fruit known for its sweet and tangy flavours. When combined with chicken buffalo wing flavours, the sweetness of the mango helps to balance out the spiciness of the buffalo sauce. Additionally, the acidity in mango can help to cut through the richness of the chicken, creating a well-rounded flavour profile. Overall, the combination of mango and chicken buffalo wing flavours is a delicious and satisfying pairing.

How to use your seasoning/rub and glaze:

Lightly or generously coat your meat with your seasoning/rub. Up to you based on how much flavour you prefer.

When cooking meat, either on the BBQ, in an oven or a smoker, generously pour glaze over uncooked meat in a dish and with clean hands, turn the meat over to ensure that it is liberally coated on all sides.

For the oven and smoker, cover the meat and cook following the usual cooking instructions. Uncover for the last quarter of the cooking time to allow the sauce to reduce and the sweet stickiness to develop. Re-coat now to personal preference, if required.

On the Barbecue, just cook on the plate or over the grill. The glaze will darken and look burned but that’s okay – and awesome.

Cinnamon Verum Ground (25g)

Origin:  Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Verum cinnamon is used for its health benefits and subtle flavour, it MAY help regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity. It may also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which could help protect against certain diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Additionally, verum cinnamon may have antimicrobial properties that make it effective against certain types of bacteria and fungi.  Add a sprinkle to your morning granola or coffee.

What’s the difference between CASSIA and VERUM?

There are two types of cinnamon: Cassia cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon. The main difference between the two is their flavour profile and where they come from.

Cassia cinnamon is the more commonly used variety and is native to China, also grown in Vietnam. It has a stronger, sweeter flavour and the the colour may be slightly darker. It is also cheaper and more readily available than Ceylon cinnamon. However, it contains higher levels of coumarin, which can be toxic in large amounts. So, take it easy on the cinnamon donuts 🙂

Ceylon cinnamon, on the other hand, is native to Sri Lanka and has a more delicate and subtle flavour and a more complex aroma. It is also more expensive and harder to find than cassia cinnamon.
