Chicken Tikka Recipe #100FootJourney

Lolli — Sun, 03 Aug 2014 01:39:15 +0000

Have you ever tried cooking for a family of 16? The last week or so, we’ve had my family of seven and my sister’s family of seven staying with my mom and dad. It has been a little crazy…and dinner time has been a huge ordeal.

I am drooling over this new dish inspired by The Hundred Foot Journey, which comes to theaters next week (August 8). Love authentic Indian food? You will LOVE this recipe for chicken tikka (yum, yum!).

Click the recipe above to save to your computer (and print the full size image, if desired).

Fun Fact: Every weekend during production, Om Puri invited his on-screen family to his home where he would cook traditional Indian dishes for them, which brought everyone closer and made their bond on screen more natural and believable.

The Hundred-Foot Journey – “Food Is Memories”

About The Hundred Foot Journey

In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore. At first Madame Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one young man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

Lolli — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 15:09:52 +0000

This collection of summer recipes (for the 4th of July and beyond) is inspired by DreamWorks Pictures’ upcoming movie The Hundred-Foot Journey (be sure to check out my other #100FootJourney recipes. They all just look SO good!). These recipes are provided by Disney/DreamWorks Pictures, but opinions are all my own.

I don’t know about you, buy my initial inclination is to stay out of the kitchen all summer long to avoid the heat…but the fact is, there are so many wonderful colors and flavors that are only available during the summer months that it would be a shame not to take advantage of the fresh veggies and fruits that are available this time of year.

My mouth is watering over these new recipes inspired by The Hundred Foot Journey – from Curry Hot Dog to Raspberry and Blueberry Tarte. From Pasta Salad with Chickpeas to Sparkling Lemonade. Which recipe would you like to try first?

Click any of the recipe images below to save to your computer and print off to try at home.

Enjoy the flavors and colors of the summer!

Sparkling Lemonade

Curry Hot Dog

Raspberry and Blueberry Tarte

Pasta Salad with Chickpeas

About The Hundred-Foot Journey: In DreamWorks Pictures’ “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” the opening of a new Indian restaurant in the south of France next to a famous Michelin-starred eatery is nearly cause for a heated battle between the two establishments, until Le Saule Pleureur’s icy proprietress, Madame Mallory, recognizes her rival’s undeniable brilliance for preparing masterful meals.

Madeleines Recipe

Lolli — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:14:44 +0000

There was once a fancy cookie that I only saw at special get-togethers and celebrations. I did not know the name of this cookie, but I recognized the shape and the unique flavor/texture combination that was somewhere in between cookie and cupcake.

One day I was walking through the kitchen aisle at my favorite thrift store (because wonderful treasures can be found in the kitchen aisle!) and I saw something that caught my eye: that wonderful shell-shape in a baking pan. For a couple of dollars I brought it home and vowed to find a recipe to use to duplicate those delicious special-occasion cookies.

Of course, life happened and I never got around to finding a recipe to use…or rather, I just never found the time to make them.

When the following recipe showed up in my inbox from my Disney buddy, Marshall, I knew it was fate. It was time to dust that cookie pan off and make some Madeleines!

This is not a dump-everything-in-a-bowl and stir kind of recipe. The extra little steps, though, make a difference!

Enjoy! (even if there’s no special occasion – no need to wait!)

Right click the recipe image below to save the full-res image to your computer, then print the recipe to add to your recipe files. Enjoy!

Note: see the type of pan that I used here.

This is the 4th Hundred-Foot Journey recipe that I’ve shared here…and I’m guessing there will be more before the summer is over! (No compensation has been received) Be sure to check out the Quiche Lorraine, Beef Bourguignon, and Tandoori Chicken. Check my previous posts for details on the movie, and be sure to head to the theater on August 8 to see The Hundred Foot Journey!

Quiche Lorraine Recipe #100FootJourney

This Quiche Lorraine recipe is inspired by DreamWorks Pictures’ upcoming movie The Hundred-Foot Journey (this is not the first time I’ve shared a #100FootJourney recipe (you’ve got to check out the Tandoori chicken I posted, too). They all just look SO good! This recipe is provided by Disney/DreamWorks Pictures, but opinions are all my own.

I love eating quiche, but it’s not a dish that I regularly cook on my own. I can’t wait to try this quiche recipe out for my family. It will be the perfect summer brunch or late-weekend breakfast to serve!

What is your favorite type of quiche?

Tandoori Chicken #Recipe #100FootJourney

Lolli — Mon, 26 May 2014 12:46:44 +0000

My husband would eat Indian food every night if he had the choice. So imagine his delight when I announced that I’d be trying out a recipe for Tandoori Chicken for dinner this weekend.

This easy Tandoori chicken recipe is inspired by DreamWorks Pictures’ upcoming movie The Hundred-Foot Journey (yes, yes, I know I shared a #100FootJourney recipe last week, too, but this time second recipe was just too good to NOT share!). The recipe is provided by Disney/DreamWorks, but the photos of the prepared food and opinions are all mine.

Tandoori Chicken

Right click the recipe image below to save the full-res image to your computer, then print the recipe to add to your recipe files. Enjoy!

The only ingredient I had a hard time finding was the garam masala. I have needed garam masala more than once and have never been able to find it. I searched the Indian food aisle. No luck. I searched the spice aisle. No luck. I did the rest of my shopping, remembered I needed to stock up on 2 other spices, and accidentally stumbled upon garam masala, available only by McCormick (in my store, at least). I did a little happy dance – imagine all of the recipes I can make now that I have garam masala!

Heat the dry spices in a small skillet

Mix the cooked spices, yogurt, oil, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper in a bowl.

The yogurt-spice mixture is not pretty to look at, but smells amazing!

Spread yogurt-spice mixture on chicken. Your hands will get dirty. Roll with it. it’s worth it! Cook as directed.

Generously sprinkle cilantro mixture on top of chicken before serving (take my advice – don’t skip the cilantro!). Delicious!

Now let’s see what you’ve been cooking!
