CRAB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan over medium-low heat and cook the onion, celery, and grated carrot until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the parsley, wine, crab, cayenne and bread crumbs, mixing to combine well.
• Sprinkle the flattened chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Place pounded chicken"shiny" side down on a cutting board.
• (When rolling the breast over a filling, the chicken holds together better when the skinned side is on the outside.) Divide the crab filling between the 6 chicken breasts, placing the filling at one side.
• Roll up the breasts, tucking in the ends like an fat egg roll.
• Don't worry if the ends are open a little bit, the filling won't leak out during baking.

• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, then stir in the 3 tablespoons flour and the curry powder and salt.
• Cook stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Add the milk and wine and simmer until mixture thickens, stirring constantly.
• The sauce should be of a fairly thick consistency, not thin and runny.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
• Divide 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs over the breasts and dot with the 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Bake uncovered, at 375 degrees, for 45 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the grated cheese and bake for another 4 minutes or until cheese melts.
• Remove the chicken to a serving platter and garnish each breast with the chopped tomato and minced parsley.

SPICY CRAB CURRY - BANGLA STYLE

Steps:

• Rub the crabs with 1 teaspoon of the turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt; let them marinate for 1 hour. Combine the mustard seed and hot water in a small bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the seeds into a coarse paste.
• Heat the oil in a wok or kadhai over medium heat. Add the crabs and stir fry until they change color, about 4 minutes. Remove the crabs from the oil and set aside.
• Add the sliced onions to the wok and cook and stir over medium heat until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the potatoes, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and peppercorns, and stir for thirty seconds.
• Stir in the tomatoes, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Halve three of the chiles and add them to the wok. Cook and stir for an additional minute or two over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 1 teaspoon turmeric, the cayenne pepper, and the mustard paste and stir to combine. Add the crabs to the wok and pour in just enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring the water to a boil and stir in the sugar and salt to taste.
• Cover the wok, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the water is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and simmer until the gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes more.
• Squeeze the lemon wedge over the finished dish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green chile and serve hot, with rice.
