Drescription

This stir-fry is typical of Northern Indian cuisine, with its emphasis on fresh vegetables. Because the cooking happens quickly it's a good idea to measure out and prepare all the ingredients in this recipe before you fire up the wok.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided
  • 2 large carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3 dried red chiles, such as thai, cayenne or chile de arbol, stemmed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Grind coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle until the mixture resembles coarsely ground pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and add cornstarch, salt and turmeric; stir to combine. Add chicken and stir until coated with the spice mixture.
  2. Preheat a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is shimmering, add carrots, bell pepper, onion, garlic and chiles. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the chicken and seasonings from the bowl and cook, stirring, until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the vegetables, lime juice and mint and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds.

Apfelstrudel

Apple Strudel ("Apfelstrudel") is a typical and beloved Austrian dessert. This is my granny's recipe -- and I've never had any better tasting Apple Strudel. I think it would be awfully impolite not to share this outstanding piece of dessert with you. Hell, it took Austria at least two dynasties of decadent monarchs to come up with delicious treats like that while ignoring things like international relations and world politics. I hope the length of the recipe doesn’t scare you off. This is just because I explained everything in detail. For accuracy, I recommend measuring everything by weight if you can. Enjoy!
