Patricks Midnite Curried Chicken Cabbage Recipes

PATRICK'S MIDNITE CURRIED CHICKEN-CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the bouillon cubes in 3 tablespoons of the hot tap water. Set aside.
• Cut the chicken into chunks about one-inch in size. Wipe the pieces fairly dry with paper towels, roll them in the flour and set them aside on a plate. Allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Blend together the following seasonings in a small bowl: curry powder, mustard seed, cumin powder, white pepper, and seasoned salt. Set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium high heat. As soon as the oil is hot, drop in the jalapeno pepper and the chicken pieces. Then, sprinkle all the blended seasonings over the chicken. Fry the chicken pieces for a total of no more than 5 minutes, turning once, then remove the chicken (slightly browned) and the jalapeno pepper from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
• Whisk the tomato paste into the skillet drippings and then pour in the 3 tablespoons of water with the bouillon dissolved in it to deglaze a bit. Allow this to simmer over the medium-high heat for about 2 minutes and then pour in the tomatoes and onions. Allow the tomatoes and onions to cook down for about three minutes and then add the remaining 6 tablespoons of hot tap water and stir. The sauce will taste salty at this point but the end product will be fine.
• After the tomato-onion sauce has simmered for about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low, dump in the chopped cabbage and gently stir, coating the cabbage with the red sauce. Then top with the semi-cooked chicken and the jalapeno pepper and gently stir again. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and allow the cabbage to cook down for about 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, then remove from heat and allow the ingredients to sit covered for about 10 minutes.
• Serve.

CRISPY CURRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH A LOT OF CABBAGE

Steps:

• Prepare the cabbage: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup water, the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage and toss until well coated. Set aside.
• Make the kkasseu sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
• Make the chicken cutlets: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (or in a large resealable plastic bag) and pound them with a rolling pin until they are flat and uniformly ¼-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• On a large plate, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. On another large plate, stir together the panko, curry powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. Set the chicken on the first plate and smother both sides with the mayo-mustard mixture. Then transfer chicken to the second plate and press down, flipping and pressing down multiple times to ensure even panko stickage on both sides.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add one of the chicken cutlets and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and fry on the second side until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the second cutlet.
• To serve, divide the cutlets between two plates and pour the kkasseu sauce over each cutlet. Divide the quick-pickled cabbage between the two plates and add some white rice alongside

CURRIED CABBAGE AND PEAS

Steps:

• Shred the cabbage coarsley.
• Measure out the crushed red chilis, ginger, mustard seeds, cumin, bay leaves, coriander, turmeric, and salt.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet (I use a large saucepan) and stir in the prepared spices. Heat the spices gently for about 2 minutes stirring often.
• Add the shredded cabbage and saute it stirring often, until it is all evenly coated with the spices and beginning to wilt, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the water and the peas, cover, and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.
• Remove the cover, stir in the butter, garam masala, lemon juice, and sugar, and simmer uncovered, for another 10 to 15 minutes. There should be very little or no excess liquid at this point. ( although I like to leave some because I think it's delicious!).
• Stir in a little yogurt if desired and serve hot with rice and raita.
