Jo's First Dish!

Jo has started cooking! We've decided to spilt dinner duties this year, she's taking Mondays and Wednesdays while I'm cooking on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Weekends are free for all (^___^)

I advised her to start easy and cook some stir fries. But instead she asked Jaya for a recipe and decided to cook Butter Chicken. I was anticipating lovely Indian Butter Chicken when I came home, but instead she was cooking chinese style Butter Chicken instead, shallow fried with KFC powder then coated with a sauce made out of condensed milk and butter.

The chicken was good, tender and crispy. But one problem. Gillian was helping Jo in the chicken and taking out the 'condensed milk' when she said ' this isn't condensed milk, it's mayonaise!'
She mistook the mayo jar for condensed milk and unfortunately we didn't have any condensed milk at home. So I suggested that she change the sauce to a basic sweet and sour sauce instead.


Tadah, Jo's first Tomato Chicken garnished with crunchy sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.


I prepared a mixed vegetable dish to go with it.

It was a nice dinner and a great first try from Jo. I am anticipating more yummy dishes to come, congratulations!
