Cookin' for Dudes: Sweet/Hot Chicken Curry - Goin' Subcontinental

Okay, dudes. We're going to the sub-continent. Getting our (pseudo) India on. You know how you are...you grill, maybe you've made a salad or two for your significant other. Let's show her(him) you have an international flair. 

The original to this comes from here. It's from the New York Times Cooking site by a no-kiddin'-around chef named Pierre Franey. I have, of course, screwed with it. Not 'cause there was anything wrong with it...just 'cause. This, therefore, is a double dude post...mine, and the original. 

Unlike most Indian dishes (or Indian inspired dishes), this has just a few ingredients. Indian food derives its depth of flavor in that it usually consists of small amounts of a ton of ingredients. This one is pretty simple in comparison. 

Ground Turkey & Veggie Stir Fry

This one ain't for the dudes even though stir fry lends itself well to dude based cooking. It's all high heat and brute force, which is pretty much how dudes grill so you'd think it's be adaptable. For whatever reason, it isn't. I think it's the way you have to constantly stir and the short cooking bursts for each ingredient. Seems to defy dudeness. It's important to point out that I'm not using "dude" and "man" as synonyms. Not all men are dudes, and dude is, in my vernacular, gender free. 

This is the first recipe I ever cooked. I've been making it for years.
