INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

You know those meals that feel fancy but require zero effort? This is one of them. A buttery, perfectly seared steak, a fresh, vibrant salad, and some oven-roasted corn that’s so sweet and caramelized it might make you question why you don’t eat it every day. And the dressing? Oh, just a bright, tangy, slightly spicy little number that takes everything up a notch.

How to serve
Best enjoyed immediately, preferably with a glass of something cold and a playlist that makes you feel effortlessly cool. Plate up the salad, top with juicy steak slices, and drizzle that fire dressing over everything. The roasted corn? Either cut it into smaller chunks for easy eating or go all in and enjoy it straight off the cob. Maybe add some extra fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy, but honestly, this dish is already stealing the show.

How to store
If you somehow have leftovers (unlikely, but okay), store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers. Steak keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. The corn? Wrap it up and reheat in the oven or slice it off the cob for quick salads or tacos.

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug, but, like, an effortlessly cool one. Tender chicken, slow-simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-coconut sauce packed with warm spices and just the right amount of heat. It’s bold and deep in flavor, but then? Enter the tangy, tropical yogurt that balances it all out, plus fluffy, garlicky naan to scoop up every last drop. It’s cozy, it’s indulgent, and honestly, it just hits different.

How to serve
The key here is layering flavors. Start with a generous spoonful of the rich, velvety sauce, pile on the juicy, spice-kissed chicken, and finish with a drizzle of the bright, citrusy yogurt. And the naan? It’s non-negotiable. Tear, dip, repeat. This dish is best served fresh, straight from the pot, but if you want to go all out, a side of fluffy basmati rice wouldn’t hurt. Bonus points if you add a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

How to store
Store the chicken and sauce together in an airtight container for up to two days in the fridge. The naan keeps best wrapped in foil at room temp for a day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep things soft and saucy.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • stand mixer
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale

BASE SAUCE

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 red onions
  • 400 grams tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cloves powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 250 milliliter vegetable stock

COCONUT SAUCE

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 200 grams coconut milk

CHICKEN

  • 400 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

TOPPINGS

  • lime juice
  • fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp passionfruit purée

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the chili lime garlic naan according to this recipe, up to Step 4. Once 40 minutes of resting time have passed, proceed with Step 2 of this recipe.
  2. Finely dice the onions and tomatoes, keeping them separate.
  3. Coat the chicken in turmeric (gloves recommended, as turmeric stains easily). Heat avocado oil in a large pan and sear the chicken on both sides. It doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet, as it will finish simmering in the sauce. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the remaining oil, add ground cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and ground cloves. Toast briefly until fragrant. Add the diced onions and a bay leaf, season generously with salt, and let them soften. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic, then add them to the pan. Let everything cook down gently.
  5. Once softened, add coriander powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, toasting briefly. Stir in tomato paste and diced tomatoes, then pour in vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and let it simmer until the tomatoes break down. Transfer everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Keep the mixture in the blender while reheating the pan.
  6. Continue preparing the naan from Step 5 to Step 6, allowing the dough to rest for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Heat more avocado oil in the pan and toast ground cumin and mustard seeds until they start popping. Add pressed garlic, turmeric, and garam masala, stirring until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Then, return the blended tomato mixture to the pan, stirring until combined. Add the seared chicken, cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer.
  8. Once simmering, remove the lid and stir in more garam masala and a splash of lime juice. Optionally, add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness. Let everything simmer over medium heat for another 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  9. While the dish simmers, complete the naan recipe from Step 7 onward, so it’s freshly served.
  10. Remove the pan from the heat and top the chicken with yogurt, passionfruit purée, and fresh cilantro. Serve with warm naan and enjoy!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Somehow, warm, buttery flatbread just makes life better. This one is extra special: soft, fluffy, brushed with melted butter, garlic, chili, fresh herbs, and a hit of lime zest for that unexpected, almost-too-good touch. It’s got that perfect balance of richness, freshness, and just a little spice, making it dangerously easy to eat. Whether you’re scooping up curry, using it as a base for something wild, or just eating it straight up, this one’s a keeper.

How to serve
This one is best served straight from the pan. Warm, pillowy, and soaked in that garlicky, buttery goodness. It’s the perfect sidekick to just about anything: curries, dips, grilled meats, or even a fancy little cheese plate. But let’s be honest, it’s also pretty great just by itself. Tear it, fold it, dunk it. No rules here.

How to store
If, by some miracle, you have leftovers, wrap them in foil and store at room temp for a day or in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a dry pan or warm oven for that fresh-off-the-stove feel.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • stand mixer
  • small bowl
  • large bowl
  • plastic wrap

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 300 grams pizza flour (or any flour that contains at least 12g protein per 100g)
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1/2 tsp white sugar
  • 125 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

GLAZE

  • 1–2 tbsp butter, melted
  • fresh chili
  • zest of 1 lime
  • fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Add the dry yeast to lukewarm water, stir in the sugar, and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes foamy and bubbles form.
  2. In the stand mixer, combine the flour with salt, yogurt, and avocado. Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it in and knead everything into a smooth dough. It should be slightly sticky but not cling to your fingers or the bowl.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured bowl, dust the top with a little flour, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. While the dough is rising, finely chop a fresh chili and the parsley leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the zest of one lime and two pressed garlic cloves. Set this mixture aside—melted butter will be added later.
  5. Once the dough has risen, divide it into six equal pieces, shape them into balls, and let them rest under a damp towel for another 15 minutes.
  6. In the meantime, heat a cast-iron skillet until it’s very hot.
  7. Roll out each dough ball into a thin, flat round. Cook in the dry, hot skillet for about 2 minutes per side until bubbles form and the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Stir the melted butter into the prepared chili-lime-garlic mixture.
  9. Remove the naan from the pan, brush each one with the flavored butter using a pastry brush, and stack them on top of each other.
  10. Either keep the naan warm in the oven or cover them with a towel until ready to serve.
