Chicken Korma

By

Chix korma 1Chicken korma is an Indian dish that uses full-fat yogurt to both tenderize the chicken and make a creamy sauce as it cooks. This is a streamlined recipe, turning chicken korma into a straightforward but still very flavorful weeknight meal.

Yes, the ingredient list is long. But more than half of the ingredients are herbs and spices, most of which you probably already have on hand (although, if you’ve had them on hand for more than a year, it’s time to re-stock the spice cabinet).

Herbs and spices are an important part of the Primal food pyramid and an important part of chicken korma. The spices give korma layers of flavor, but don’t make it “spicy hot.” The spices also contribute outstanding levels of antioxidants. So with every bite, you’re not only getting a delicious meal, you’re also building a strong defense against disease.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems.
