Made tumeric rice and tumeric chicken!! 😋
I've never made Indian food before. The rice is a little dry (I have a lot of problems cooking rice correctly lol), but not crispy or anything. Meanwhile, the chicken FUCKS. Very juicy, cooked well, nice texture. It tastes great; I'm really happy with it! Maybe one of my most successful dishes so far regarding technical skill.
Main criticisms are the roasted red pepper flakes I used in place of cayenne pepper, and the onions I put in the rice--they didn't cook down enough and burnt. The red pepper flakes are too big and I didn't dice the onions finely enough. I thought I dumped them all, but a few stragglers were left behind and just sat burning I guess :/ So my rice missed out on the onion flavoring part too. (Tried onion powder. Surprise! It burnt lol) I also had to substitute chicken broth for chicken bouillon cube broth.
Overall, I think it could stand to have a more diverse flavor profile. These dishes probably shouldn't go together as a meal. Tumeric rice is more of a side dish. They're not bad together--they actually taste better eaten together--it's just a lot of tumeric lol.
But I'm happy with it! Would love to hear any thoughts or anything (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
