The rare bean rice, interesting texture. The side salad was spinach and bonito, as per usual. Finally there was samurai nabe, which had lots of veggies and pork. A mikan orange for dessert and milk.

Indian Curry Chicken with Black Bean Rice.

I was hungry and I went looking in my fridge for food, I found chicken breasts and yogurt and butter.  I decided that I would make Indian Curry from Scratch.  I loosely followed a recipe.  When I say loosely, I mean loosely.  I increased the cooking time to 2.5 hours.  I added sun dried tomatoes and tomato paste instead of sugar.   

Letting the tomato paste, the sundried tomatoes, the stock, herbs and the chicken cook for that long ensured that all the flavours were melded into the chicken, while still keeping the chicken moist and fully cooked.  

I know black beans are not usually used or paired with Indian cooking,  I had a can in my cupboard.  I decided to enhance my rice so I warmed up the black beans and added them to the rice.   The bean rice was almost a pilaf.  

This curry did not make it past 2 days in the fridge.
