Being a complete foodie and a food blogger, it’s always been so tough for me to answer this question “What is your favorite food?”.indian Kadai chicken-2

Growing up in a typical Indian family surrounded with friends and family (think 40-50 cousins), we always had some sort of get-together/festival or just a casual meet-up happening.

And, I don’t have to mention, food was always the “center attraction” …so now you might understand the reason behind me being a complete FOODIE.keto indian stir fry chicken

But getting back to our topic of discussion, my all-time favorite comfort food is  Kadai Chicken.

It’s one recipe that I’ve grown up eating weekends after weekends and we still crave it (if not cooked within 15-20 days).

How to Make Kadai Chicken

The original recipe is made using a lot of cream + ghee + spices but I guess being passed from generation to generation.

Some tweaks or changes were bound to happen to the original recipe….blame it on the time or just a need for change.how to make kadai chicken recipe

I’ve also made changes to my favorite Kadai Chicken recipe by making it slightly lighter (cream gets replaced by yogurt) and easier to prepare (no long marinating time).

So I’m calling it my ‘New Comfort Food’. It’s a lighter, easier version of my traditional favorite.

To make the Kadai Chicken, I’m using none other than Foster Farms Simply Raised Chicken, which has no antibiotics ever, is fed a 100% vegetarian diet.

It has no added hormones or steroids and is American Humane Certified.

I’m a total believer in the idea that the highest quality ingredients make the best food, hence why I use locally grown, antibiotic-free chicken!

‘The New Comfort Food’ is an evolution from traditionally heavy, rich foods to a healthier, more conscious way of eating.

Today’s comfort food meals feature local, fresh and premium quality ingredients, produced with no antibiotics ever.

The New Comfort Food is no longer an indulgence, but something you can feel good about eating every day!

With all of our hectic schedules and multi-tasking, I’m always trying to create recipes that suit not just our busy routines but also taste delicious.

In other words – make people believe that you’ve spent a good 1-2 hrs making this delicious meal 😉 But no matter what recipe or ingredients.

I  Follow the Following Guidelines:

  • Poultry needs to be antibiotic-free
  • Ingredients should be healthy
  • There’s nothing like fresh ingredients
  • Always try and cook with seasonal ingredients

 

Now, let’s get started on the Kadai Chicken – Indian Stir Fry Chicken or Karahi chicken recipe, which is easy-peasy-delicious.

All you need is Foster Farms Simply Raised Chicken, some basic spices (all listed in the recipe below).

Fresh produce, lots of yogurt and a little bit of cream (remember, the key to healthy cooking and living is all about moderation).

So, I hope you get to try my Indian Stir Fry Chicken – Kadai Chicken soon and adopt it as one of your own. Also, check out more ‘New Comfort Food’ recipes on the Foster Farms website.

Their Simply Raised chicken is locally grown on the West Coast with no antibiotics ever and 100 percent vegetarian fed. It is the perfect foundation for your New Comfort Food meals!
