  3. Beat the add, then add it to the milk and beat again. Add gradually to the dry ingredients, beating thoroughly between to mix.
  4. Once well mixed, add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  5. Using a spoon or measuring cup, pour batter gently onto preheated griddle or pan, about 1/4 - 1/3 C, depending on how big you want them. Cook until the batter has little bubbles all over the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Gently flip, and cook another couple of minutes, until the bottom is browned.
  6. If you want to prepare the night before, add a little extra baking powder, so it still has some fluffiness.

Instructions
  1. Put soy sauce, brown sugar, water, Asian sweet-chili sauce, ginger, and pepper in pressure cooker/multi-pot/Foodi. Stir to combine.
  2. Cut pork ribs into 3 pieces and place in cooker.
  3. Cook on High for 30 minutes. Give 10 minute natural release, then release pressure. Pork should be fork-tender. And tasty! Remove to bowl and cover.
  4. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the hot liquid into a small bowl or container, and whisk in cornstarch.
  5. Set multi-pot/Foodi to sear, or pour liquid to a small pan, and heat to medium until boiling. Add cornstarch mix and whisk. Cook for ~4-5 minutes or until reduced to the desired thickness. Add port back to it to coat and heat. Serve warm on rice or rice noodles, or just whatever sounds good! Can add chopped green onion for garnish if desired.
Recipe Notes

Recipe adapted from:  https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/slow-cooker-pork-roast/

Can also cook for 5-6 hours on low in slow cooker.  Wold work for a roast, also.  In fact, I thought it was a pork loin roast, until it thawed and I opened the package.

Adapt cooking time as needed for larger pieces or different cut of pork.

Instructions
  1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl; let sit for five minutes or till bubbly. Add olive oil, yogurt, egg, salt and 2 cups of flour. Stir till smooth.
  2. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead a few times on a floured counter until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Preheat a skillet to medium heat.
  3. Cut dough into eight pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each piece into a 6" circle.
  4. Add a little oil or non-stick spray to the skillet. Cook each circle for 2-3 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on the bottom. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Brush the top (the bubbly side) of each naan with melted butter. I added garlic to my butter, but that is optional.

Instructions
  1. To a medium skillet add paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and cardamom.
  2. Cook over medium heat until slightly toasted and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 - 2 minutes. (In a rush this step can be skipped, it just adds a little more flavor).
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, spices from skillet, and season with salt and pepper (I use 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper).
  4. Add chicken thighs and toss well in mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Cover bowl and transfer to refrigerator and let marinate at least 3 hours and up to 10 hours.
  6. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees.
  7. Clean grill grates and brush with oil.
  8. Grill chicken about 10 - 12 minutes per side for bone-in thighs (5 - 7 minutes per side for boneless thighs), while basting once lightly with oil if desired to reduce exterior drying, until chicken registers 165 on an instant read thermometer in center near bone.
  9. Let rest a few minutes off heat, serve warm with cilantro.

Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
  4. Place the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo or wooden skewers, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
  5. Make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour in the cream.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skewers and add to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or alongside naan bread.
  7. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://tasty.co/recipe/homemade-chicken-tikka-masala

The comments for the original recipe were that the wooden skewers should be soaked to prevent burning, and that there should be more spice.  Since nothing is really spicy that I know of, I increased the seasonings by 50%.

Also, these can be air fried at 350F for 20 minutes, very tender and juicy, but didn't have the charred corners.  And we think maybe our oven runs a bit hot, so do please beginning checking after the first 15 minutes and adjust as needed.

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add corn kernels, season to taste with salt, toss once or twice, and cook without moving until charred on one side, about 2 minutes. Toss corn, stir, and repeat until charred on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Continue tossing and charring until well charred all over, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. **If you use canned corn: Add 2 to 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to a sauté pan. Pour in the canned corn. Cook over medium heat until the corn turns a light brown color. It will take about five minutes for the corn to brown.
  3. Don’t stir the corn more than once. It can be tempting to stir but roasted corn should sit in the pan to cook. If you must stir the corn, let it sit for three minutes, stir it once, then let it sit until a light brown.
  4. In a serving bowl, toss corn with mayo, cotija, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder. Season generously with salt.
  5. Top with more cotija, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chile powder.
Recipe Notes

This is really good!  Be careful with the chili powder, it matures after it sits, so it may not taste like enough to start with, but give it a bit first.

Feta really does work equally well.

If you eat this right away, ti's really good.  But if you let is sit for half hour or more, the chili powder really matures, and is a bit overpowering.  I changed the chili powder from the original recipe from 1 Tbsp to 1/2 Tbsp (1 1/2 tsp), and then I would suggest sprinkling just a bit over top on your plate.  Enjoy!
