Hot Chicken Curry

serves 4

Ingredients:

* 1 madam jeanette chili/peper, seeds removed
* 2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
* 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
* 500g chickenbreast, in cubes
* Curry masala powder
* Salt, to taste
* 1 spoon of ajinomoto umami seasoning
* 1 cup of water
* Rice

Preparations:

Cut the chicken and the vegetables as explained above, be sure to wear gloves when cutting the pepper because the oil will stick on your hands and spice up everything you touch for atleast the rest of the day.
Boil the rice as you wish. Heat up some oil in a wok, and stir-fry the onions for one minute. Add the garlic and the pepper and stir-fry until the onion looks glassy. Now add the chicken and stir-fry until the chicken is half done. Now add some salt, the curry powder and the ajinomoto. Mix well. Add some more salt/curry if you like, but keep in mind you will add some more curry later! Now keep stir-frying until the chicken is done. Take a cup of water and mix with some curry powder, it is easier to used boiled water as the curry mixes better that way. Stir well and add to the wok. Mix everything well and let it cook for about 1 or 2 minutes. Let it cool down a little before eating because the effect of the pepper will be more intense if you eat it when it's hot. If the whole pepper is too much for you, you can also use half of it!
This recipe is one that an old colleague of mine shared with me. He was of Hindo descent, therefor in my vocabulary this dish is also called Hindu chicken curry. I hope you enjoy your meal, and see you next time!

Spicy tuna sandwich

serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

* 1 red paprika
* 1 yellow paprika
* 1 green paprika
* 1 chinese cabbage
* 1 madam jeanette pepper/chili
* 1 leek
* 1 vegetable stock cube
* soy sauce
* turmeric powder
* garlic powder
* 3 cans of tuna
* crusty bread rolls (or rice depends on your taste)

Additional:

* 1 carrot

Preparation:

Let the water leak from the tuna cans. Chop all vegetables in small strips and the leek in small (half) rings. Remove the seeds from the pepper. I recommend you to use gloves as this pepper can be a nuisance when you accidentally touch your eyes or anything. Finely cut the pepper.
Heat up a wok and once it reached temperature, pour in some oil. Put in all vegetables including the pepper. Stir fry until the vegetables have shrunk a little and the cabbage looks glassy. Now crumble 1 vegetable stock cube over the vegetables and stir well. Add the tuna, be sure to mix it well with the vegetables. Now put in a spoon of garlic powder and turmeric powder. Now put in a dash of soy sauce. Mix everything well once more and let it cook for another minute.

When it's done you can put it on a sandwich, personally I love to use crusty bread rolls (also known as pistolets) with it. However if you prefer to eat this with rice, you can do so too!

This recipe is also one that a colleague of mine taught me.
I hope you enjoyed it and I certainly hope you'll return for more!
Yours truly,
