I recently posted one of my favourite spicy recipes Chicken Korma. Now I am the first to say (as I did) that my camera skills can be rather, shall we say, marginal at times! There are some recipes that well, just look blah on the plate. Tasty in the tummy though. Now if I had added a few beautifully coloured vegetables, or even a tiny bit of garnish things may have looked better.

Anyway, I have just found the perfect accompaniment to the Korma. This simple but tasty looking (better camera skills!), recipe from Devika’s Kitchen, I think will be a perfect addition to Chicken Korma!

Thanks Devika.

I love spicy food, that lovely tingle of after-burn is the sign that the level of heat is just perfect. However, while I am not quite up to the “so spicy I sweat” level of enthusiasm, I do know some people who think that there is no point to a curry if you don’t need to brow mop :). On the other end of the spectrum are those that, while they love the taste of spicy food do like just a hint of heat in their curry.

This is why I love making my own curry so I can control how much heat I put into the mix. And so can you with this Chicken Korma dish, just adjust the amount of dried chilli flakes and there you go.

This recipe is ideally best prepared the day before, so the marinade does its magic and makes the chicken tender. But if you are in a hurry, cook it up, I’m sure it will taste great! Which is more than I can say for my photography, which does not do justice to the dish!

I read a twitter comment a while back about why do so many Paleo people blog about cookies and cakes. Well that did make me chuckle and my sister and I have this continual conversation. For anyone who is a sugar burner – rather than a fat burner, they may well wonder because isn’t primal/paleo eating all about what cave women/men ate and we don’t think they had ovens then and don’t you just eat meat? Or some other such thing.

What underlies our conversation about cakes, cookies and sweet treats is the wonderment of not being addicted to sweet stuff and the joy of creating something delicious that you can eat and leave. There isn’t that continual call of “eat me, eat me and EAT ME RIGHT NOW” from the cake tin. There is the satisfaction of creating something with half or quarter the amount of sweetness of traditional recipes and using a sweetener than has at least some nutritional merit. There is the intellectual thought gone into changing a recipe from a grain base to a grain free base (and a nut free flakey pastry still elludes me). So anyway I now use the #pimpingpaleo as a general thumbs up and stand proud all you Primal/Paleo cake bloggers! And if anyone has cracked the nut free flakey pastry share that link right now 🙂

So rant of the day is over and I say why wait for desert for this yummy tart. I am sure anytime is a great time for this, slightly sweet, slightly tart, Lovely Lemon Tart!!
