bill granger's light chicken curry

I see. One touch of the sun and suddenly we're back on a diet - humpf! Tonight we dice with death by using up some chicken which may or may not be the wrong side of fresh. It's been in the fridge all week and whilst it doesn't smell, it feels curiously granular.

Somewhat foolishly (although I like to think of it being 'brave'), we try an experimental Bill Granger curry Ana found in the pile of Waitrose Food Illustrated's my mum gave me, and then eat it whilst deciding who would look after Milo tomorrow whilst we're off with food poisoning, and how quickly our parents could make it up.


It's a very easy dish, with an interesting twist - you thicken it with cashew nut dust you blitz up in the blender. Crazy.

We'll be having it again mind, but not with chicken flirting with decay.

Food of the Milos
Breakfast: The usual smorgasbord of fruit, cheese, ham and half a hot cross bun;
Lunch: Ham sandwiches, more fruit and some yoghurt tubes;
Dinner: Fish fingers, mini broccoli, mini carrots, two yoghurts, fruit. Again.

  1. Hmmm, cashew nut dust, sounds interesting! As for the chicken, I have had that discussion with myself before, too old to eat? Not poisoned anyone since uni days which is good news!

  2. If its high let it lie, if its low its good to go!... I just made that up. Bloody genius that I am.

    Yeah the chicken debate - we have certainly had our fair share of questionable poultry but so far so good. Have started buying Waitrose FR frozen chicken breasts as they're loads cheaper but taste rather good! also minimises the risk of killing ourselves having left the 'fresh' stuff in the fridge for too long...

    So does this dish resemble a sort of satay dish? it looks veeery unctuous (a good thing in my book)
