I love to cook, but can't stand long. I love the sounds of pasta alla vodka and would like to cook it. The problem with online recipes is they are complicated, require special cooking utencils, and weird ingredients you can't get. If you go a simple uncomplicated recipe that is delectible on the pallete yet easy on the pockets. Maybe if your recipe gets the most thumps up, then you get named Orger Cook of the Month Is there any interest?????

Madras Chicken & Broccoli Salad

Curry powder and mango chutney are the flavor-intensive secret ingredients in this swift and simple Indian-inspired salad. If you want, double this recipe and you'll have a great lunch for the next day.

Makes 2 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon prepared mango chutney (see Tip)
1 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups finely chopped broccoli
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped cashews

1. Place chicken in a small skillet or saucepan and add enough water to cover; bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and cool to room temperature.
2. Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, chutney, curry and cilantro in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Add broccoli, onion, cashews and the cooked chicken; toss to coat.


TIP: Tips for Two: Refrigerate leftover chutney for up to 6 months. Whisk with yogurt for a quick dressing, dip or marinade; serve alongside grilled meat, fish or chicken; blend with reduced-fat cream cheese for a zingy spread.

If you look up online recipes from the country you live in you probably will be able to get the ingredients locally, or have the utensils already.

If I use a US recipe, I have to convert all the quantities and guess what some of the ingredients are since they have different names for so many things

I m in Grand Rapids MI which is not fast moving in its international cuisine and product supply. I travel to other places and get my things. I was asking for short recipes that have been tried and true past cooking shows and internet.

This is the type of recipe being sought. In this economy you must be able to extend the ingredients to more than a single meal for more flavor for the $$. I will prepare this one tomorrow and let you know how it comes out. Thanks for being a sweetie, Mach!
