Chicken Dal Curry
Although I don’t want summer to end, I am looking forward to more braised dishes and stews. This dish satisfies both my cravings for curry and chicken stew, combining two of my favorite comfort foods. More comfort food chicken recipes I also love, Chicken Coconut Curry, Filipino Chicken Adobo, and Instant Pot Latin Chicken Stew with Corn.
What is Burmese Food?
Best way to describe it, if Chinese, Thai, and Indian food had a baby, it would taste like this. Situated between India, China, Thailand and Laos, Myanmar (formerly Burma) combines the food traditions of the countries it borders. In the US, Burmese food is San Francisco’s best kept secret, where Burma Superstar is a tried and true foodie destination. There’s usually a 2 hour wait to get in, but if you’re lucky enough to get there when the doors open, you’ll experience a taste of this amazing cuisine a little faster. Once you try Burmese food (hello tea leaf salad!), you’ll be just as obsessed as the rest of us! Last time I was in the San Fransisco area shooting my cookbook, I fell in love with Burma Superstar! So much so, I came back to New York hoping to find a similar restaurant here, but with no luck. Luckily, to get my Burmese food fix, The Burma Superstar’s Cookbook (affiliate link) to the rescue! This Chicken Dal Curry was adapted from the cookbook. I made a few adjustments to the recipe to suit my palate and make it lighter such as eliminating the fish sauce, cutting back on oil and a few other changes. The results were simply wonderful, a dish I have made a few times since. My preference for making this is to cook it slow and low in the stove, but I also tested this in the Instant Pot for your convenience.
