The Yummy Scoop

Super Spicy Turmeric Chicken

A crisp juicy cucumber and fresh herb salad makes a light yet vibrant sweetness to this yummy dish. A squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dollop of yogurt added lends a super delicious citrus tang and a touch of creaminess.

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, plus 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus 8 wedges for serving (3–4 limes total)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (optional)
  • 1 English hothouse or large standard cucumber, peeled if desired, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/2″ pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup (packed) herb leaves, such as mint, cilantro, and/or dill
  • 1/3 cup shelled unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped
  • Sumac (for serving; optional)
  1. Mix chicken, onion, turmeric, chopped garlic, lime juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. salt, and 3/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium in a heavy medium saucepan. Add rice and smashed garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 1–2 minutes. Stir in cardamom, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. cumin and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Add 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer, covered, until water is evaporated and rice is cooked, 18–20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit, covered, until ready to serve.
  3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high in a large skillet until very hot but not smoking. Add chicken mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in yogurt, if using, then adjust seasoning to taste. Cover to keep warm.
  4. Gently toss cucumber, herbs, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  5. Fluff rice with a fork and divide among bowls. Spoon chicken on top. Add the cucumber salad, pistachios, and sumac, if using. Generously squeeze lime wedges.
  6. Enjoy for a perfect picnic.

Spicy Chicken is super delicious!

  • 2024娛樂城的創新趨勢

    隨著2024年的到來,娛樂城業界正經歷著一場革命性的變遷。這一年,娛樂城不僅僅是賭博和娛樂的代名詞,更成為了科技創新和用戶體驗的集大成者。

    首先,2024年的娛樂城極大地融合了最新的技術。增強現實(AR)和虛擬現實(VR)技術的引入,為玩家提供了沉浸式的賭博體驗。這種全新的遊戲方式不僅帶來視覺上的震撼,還為玩家創造了一種置身於真實賭場的感覺,而實際上他們可能只是坐在家中的沙發上。

    其次,人工智能(AI)在娛樂城中的應用也達到了新高度。AI技術不僅用於增強遊戲的公平性和透明度,還在個性化玩家體驗方面發揮著重要作用。從個性化遊戲推薦到智能客服,AI的應用使得娛樂城更能滿足玩家的個別需求。

    此外,線上娛樂城的安全性和隱私保護也獲得了顯著加強。隨著技術的進步,更加先進的加密技術和安全措施被用來保護玩家的資料和交易,從而確保一個安全可靠的遊戲環境。

    2024年的娛樂城還強調負責任的賭博。許多平台採用了各種工具和資源來幫助玩家控制他們的賭博行為,如設置賭注限制、自我排除措施等,體現了對可持續賭博的承諾。

    總之,2024年的娛樂城呈現出一個高度融合了技術、安全和負責任賭博的行業新面貌,為玩家提供了前所未有的娛樂體驗。隨著這些趨勢的持續發展,我們可以預見,娛樂城將不斷地創新和進步,為玩家帶來更多精彩和安全的娛樂選擇。

  • According to my study, after a in foreclosure process home is offered at a bidding, it is common to the borrower in order to still have a remaining balance on the bank loan. There are many lenders who aim to have all expenses and liens paid back by the upcoming buyer. However, depending on specified programs, polices, and state regulations there may be some loans that are not easily settled through the transfer of financial loans. Therefore, the obligation still falls on the consumer that has acquired his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this web site.

Should the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory limit is 3.25GB. Setting up in excess of this would merely constitute some sort of waste. Be sure that one’s mother board can handle this upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.

  • Thx for your post. I want to comment that the cost of car insurance varies greatly from one insurance plan to another, mainly because there are so many different facets which play a role in the overall cost. Such as, the make and model of the car will have a large bearing on the cost. A reliable outdated family auto will have a less expensive premium than the usual flashy expensive car.
