We was at Jackson Height ,Queens last month.Elliot want to eat Indian food buffet in Jackson Diner.Jackson Height is one of the famous Little Indian Town for Indian in the city.He keep talking about Jackson Diner at 74 st and Broadway.Hence,I love to go to Jackson Height because I can get a lots of Asian and Indian food there.Few door step away from Jackson Diner there is a huge Indian grocery store patelbrothersusa.patelbrothersusa sell everything from spices to rice and frozen food as well.I like their Muruku,Kacang mix and Thai's small chili(mostly their are very spicy without question!).So I grab few packets of Indian paste which I never try before.I'm in challenge for any new items.So today,I use Chicken Tikka Masala Mix paste to cook our dinner .Since I have a whole pack of chicken drumstick in my fridge,I'm lazy to defrost boneless chicken as suggest in the packet.On the back of packet there are 2 way to cook this dish either microwave or on the stove top.I prefer to cook on the stove top because I can see what I''m doing especially my first time cooking Indian food.
Method..here is goes..
Mix thoroughly the entire content of the paste with 2 cups 300ml of water and 100 m of plain yogurt.(I used vanilla yogurt which I bought for Mishu )in a bowl.Take 6 drumsticks(cut into2 pc) and fry in 25 g(used 1/2 stick) of butter in my non stick pan until it's turn golden brown.Add the mixture from the bowl and cook till the gravy becomes thick.
Note :Do not add anything else.The paste mix contain oil and salt.
Ingredient's in the paste;
Onion,refined sunflowers oil,garlic,ginger,red chili powder,salt ,tomato,spices,turmeric and lemon.Made in India.
I follow the instruction on the packet and my dinner is ready in 30 minutes.It's very easy.Of course it's not spicy at all accordingly to my spicy level but I can add spicy sauce later.I eat with Jasmine rice since I didn't have Basmati rice with me.Elliot and Mishu enjoy this not spicyChicken Tikka Masala for tonight dinner.I would suggest anyone who like Indian food to try Patel paste for home cooking.As we all know eating Indian food in the Indian restaurant is quite pricey especially in US.

I saw this in the Indian store but hesitate to try. Since is good I am going to get some when I go there to buy curry leaves. By the way, my friend live very near to Little India and I always tumpang at her house when I visit NY.
I agree with you Lesley, Indian food is expensive in USA. I have no kaki to go eat indian food here, so have to find way to cook at home. ;(
Cat, I like Indian food. Mari,kita pergi sama sama :)
Yews,Gert I buy my curry leave there too.I saw they sell daun kaduk a.k.a daun sirih.Do you know in J.H have a good Filipino restaurant sell daun kaduk fish in lemak.You should try this!
