Experience a delightful fusion of creamy Chicken Makhani and flavorful Crab Pad Pong curry, elevated with a spicy kick from added chili sauce and curry powder. This recipe reimagines enjoying curry with perfectly grilled tortillas instead of naan. The Chicken Makhani, known for its smooth, tomato-and-cream base, is enhanced with spicy curry powder and ‘Lao Jao’ (chili bean paste) for a deeper, more robust flavor. A touch of condensed milk is added to balance the heat, creating a complex yet harmonious taste. While we skip the fried crab for simplicity, the essence of crab remains, making it a delicious dip for the warm tortillas. Perfect for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Ingredients- 5 Tortillas
- 1 cup Chicken Makhani Curry (store-bought)
- 1 cup Crab Pad Pong Curry (store-bought)
- 1 packet Spicy Curry Powder (store-bought)
- 1 tsp Lao Jao (Chili Bean Paste)
- A little Condensed Milk
- 1 tsp Chili Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your curry bases: Chicken Makhani curry, Crab Pad Pong curry, and the spicy curry powder. Having your store-bought ingredients ready will make the cooking process smooth and efficient.
Step 2
Now, let’s create the spicy curry blend. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the Crab Pad Pong curry with the spicy curry powder. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Lao Jao for an extra layer of flavor and heat. Gently simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 3
To perfectly balance the spiciness and add a subtle richness, drizzle a little condensed milk over the simmering curry. This step ensures the curry is flavorful without being overwhelmingly hot, making it enjoyable for a wider range of palates.
Step 4
Prepare the tortillas for dipping. Cut each tortilla into wedges, like slices of a pie. Lightly grill or toast them on a dry pan over low heat until they are warm and slightly pliable, perfect for scooping up the delicious curry.
Step 5
Your flavorful feast is ready! Present the rich, spicy curry alongside the grilled tortillas. A drizzle of chili sauce over the Chicken Makhani curry adds a final touch of visual appeal and flavor. This combination, perfect for dipping, promises a delightful culinary experience.
Step 6
Dive into the deliciousness by dipping the warm, grilled tortillas generously into the curry. The interplay of textures and flavors is truly wonderful. For a refreshing contrast, consider serving this with a simple side salad of lettuce and tomatoes.
