finance 750 day 4(keep reading to the bottom for a mouth-watering takeout recipe!)

Today is a combination of two series on the blog: 31 Days of Financial Savvy and Flashback Friday, where I invite you to link up and show off your favorite posts from the past. Last week, Nicole linked up a delicious-looking chocolate chip cookie recipe, and Kelly linked up about her gorgeous Stella and Dot Trunk show. Don’t forget, I pin my favorite link-ups of each week- so link away!

Now, onto the 31 Days of Financial Savvy: (wasn’t that a seamless transition? I try!)

make your own takeout- chicken norma

One of my favorite indulgences is eating out. I love trying new things and so does my husband. The downside? It’s expensive. So sometimes I try to recreate them at home or find recipes online. Although I hadn’t had this particular recipe in a restaurant before, it is a popular one served at Indian restaurants. (If you’ve never tried Indian food before, it is so good! Try this for a different night of takeout food.)

My friend Cameron and I made Chicken Korma for our husbands a while ago and had so much fun making it. You can find the original blog post here. Making amazing food is even more fun when you cook with friends!

Chicken Korma

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
3 onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 tsp ginger
1tsp chili powder (or more if you like more heat)
1tsp ground turmeric
1tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp flour
½ cup milk
2 cups heavy cream (I used 1.5 cups cream and 1/2 cup buttermilk)
olive oil and additional salt and black pepperMelt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions and garlic and cook until onions are tender. Add in remaining spices and simmer for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add about 1 tbsp. olive oil to a separate skillet. Add in chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until chicken is cooked through.Add flour to skillet with onions and whisk well. Add in cream and milk and simmer at least 5-10 more minutes. Add in chicken and stir until it’s well-coated. Serve over hot rice.

Now it’s your turn to link up! I’m off to cook something delicious!
