Slow-cooked chicken in a deep red masala that tastes even better the next day. Save this for your next comfort meal ✨

350 Cal & 20 g Protein 🍗

Hyderabadi Wedding-Style Red Chicken Curry
Makes 4 servings of 250 g each
~ 347 Kcal | 20 G P | 25 g F | 12 g C per serving
Ingredients (using ~500 g bone-in chicken)
Nut & coconut paste
• 10–15 cashews
• 10 almonds
• 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
• Water, as needed
Marinade
• 500 g bone-in chicken
• ½ cup thick curd
• 1½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2–3 slit green chilies
• 1 cup browned onions
- Thinly slice 2 large onions, toss with a few drops of oil, microwave on high for 10-12 mins, stirring every two mins, until golden OR air fry at 180°C for 10–12 mins until browned.
• Handful mint leaves
• Handful coriander leaves
• 1 tbsp green chili sauce
• 1 tbsp red chili sauce
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder
• 2–3 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder (for color - adjust acc to spice)
• 1 tbsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp ghee

For cooking
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• Few curry leaves
• 2 tsp fresh cream
• Chopped coriander leaves

Method
1️⃣ Blend cashews, almonds, desiccated coconut, and water into a smooth paste.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine the nut paste with all the marinade ingredients.
3️⃣ Add chicken and coat well.
Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
4️⃣ Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add curry leaves and let them crackle.
5️⃣ Transfer the entire marinated chicken into the pan. Cook on low–medium heat, covered, for 40–45 minutes, stirring occasionally so the masala doesn’t burn.
6️⃣ Once oil separates, the gravy deepens to a darker red, and the chicken becomes tender and almost fall-off-the-bone, add fresh cream and chopped coriander. Switch off heat.
7️⃣ Rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with soft roti or rice.
⭐ Tip
This curry tastes even better after resting 1–2 hours or when reheated later — the masala settles and deepens beautifully.

High Protein Cheesecake

Try this version of my recent cheesecake recipe as promised.

Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt or skyr, room temperature.
- ¾ block Philadelphia original cream cheese (about 200 g), room temperature.
- 2 eggs, room temperature. 🥚
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt 🧂
- 3-3.5 cups whole walnuts
- 2-3 tbsp any milk of choice 🥛
- Raspberry jam, for topping
- Fresh berries, for topping

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, vanilla maple syrup, and salt. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. A blender can also be used if you don’t have a mixer.

Place the walnuts in a zip-lock bag, remove the air, and seal. Crush the walnuts into fine crumbs using a mallet or rolling pin. You can also use a food processor or blender to get them into finer crumbs (this is an easier way to do it too). Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with 2-3 tbsp of milk until the mixture is slightly sticky. If you find your mixture isn’t sticking together, add 1-2 tbsp more of milk.

Grease a springform pan. Press the walnut milk mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan, pressing firmly to set the crust.

Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap the pan and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, add a layer of raspberry jam followed by fresh raspberries (or any fresh fruit of your choosing). Remove the springform pan. Since the walnut crust doesn’t cover the sides of the cheesecake, the edges may be slightly browned. For a more presentable look (and better taste) you can carefully trim around the edges of the cheesecake.
