Cooking Lessons with Bob
Good Food producer Bob Carlson tries to learn how to cook with Evan's help. In the video above, they revisit his experiment with frittata and Evan gives him his fifth assignment, how to make curry.
Bob and his video-editor wife, Tina, have documented each lesson with the making of his asparagus with fried egg, spaghetti carbonara and pasta e fagioli home movies.
Evan’s Easy Curry
1 onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced or grated
1 package bone in chicken thighs (usually 6-8)
Drizzle of Oil for cooking
2-3 Tablespoons curry powder
1-3 tsps garam masala
½ - 1 cup prepared tomato sauce or 1 small can tomatoes in juice
1 can coconut milk, do not shake! Just use the “head of the milk,” the thick part that has risen to the top (optional)
Sautee the chicken thighs in oil over high heat until browned. Remove from pan.
Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook in the remaining oil over medium heat. Stir the onion mixture around to deglaze the pan.
garam masala to the pan. Cook with the onion over low heat stirring until you smell the spices bloom.
