So I tried to make a paleofied version of butter chicken (Indian dish) based off of a “Slow Cooker Butter Chicken” recipe. Used coconut oil in place of butter, doubled the coconut milk instead of using yogurt, and didn’t have curry paste. Was it like the tasty butter chicken they have at our work cafe? Nope :-( But definitely was flavorful, which is what I was looking for.
I also tried to make cauliflower “rice”, aka chopped up cauliflower ;-) However, I think I chopped it too much in the food processor as it was more like rice flakes than rice. I put all of it into the food processor and kept pulsing until all the big pieces where gone. Next time I’ll either try doing only a few pieces at a time or try grading it. I also think I need to nuke it for a bit longer.
But all and all, it was was good dinner. And I have left overs for the next few days!
