Up bright an early this monday- not too much to talk about.
Tried a new recipe for curried chicken last night, turned out pretty well:
Chicken – I use one whole baby chicken with bone cut into
pieces; you can use 4 boneless chicken breast cut into cubes
Onion – One big, thinly chopped
Ginger Paste – 1 tsp (If you don’t have paste used minced
Ginger)
Garlic Paste- 1 tsp (you can used minced Garlic)
Bay Leaf – 1
Cardamom – 1 or 2
Cinnamon Stick – 1
Garam Masala – 1/2 tsp
Coriander Powder – 2/3 tsp
Cumin Powder – 2/3 tsp
Red Chili Powder – ½ tsp or paprika - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
Salt – to taste
Vegetable oil or olive oil – ¾ tbsp.
Heat up oil in a pan in low heat. Add onion and sauté until
translucent. Add ginger & garlic paste. Sauté for one min. Now add bay
leaf, cardamoms and cinnamon stick. After a minute, add garam masala, turmeric
powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, Chili powder, salt and mix together
with a wooden spoon. If it looks dry add 1 tbsp water. Let it simmer for couple
of minutes (make sure it does get burnt).
Put the chopped baby chicken (or chicken breasts) into the
pan and stir until covered in the mixture.
Cover the pan and leave to cook on a medium-low heat, until
the chicken juices come out. Then turn the heat down to low and let the curry
simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and you notice a
thin layer of oil forming top of the curry. Remove the pan from the fire, curry
is done!
After 5 minutes, sprinkle some freshly chopped coriander
leave (cilantro) on the top and you are done.
A coworker of mine sent this to me- i used way more than 2 pounds of chicken, so I had to double my spices. Served with white rice- tastes amazing. The best part about it is that the only caloric ingredients are the chicken and a smidgen from the olive oil.
Starting modified PPL (super modified PPL) this week:
1: Push
2: Pull
3: Legs
4: Off
5: Push
6: Pull
7: off
Why am I only hitting legs once a week? Quads aren't my primary focus right now. I'm more worried about my upper body at the moment- trying to grow my chest, traps, and delts.
More to come!
