Signature Recipes from the Kitchens of Fuchs
These four easy, great-tasting recipes are just the beginning of what you can create when you start with our Summer Sensations seasonings as your foundation:
Butter Chicken Tacos
Steps:
- Combine 2-3 Tbsp. Butter Chicken Sauce Seasoning with 1 cup water.
- Bring to boil over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups of cooked chicken.
- Cook on medium-low setting for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is heated through.
Chef Elizabeth’s Tip: This recipe is traditionally served with rice, but the sauced chicken also makes delicious Butter Chicken Tacos!
Kashmiri Spiced Carrot Cake
Steps:
- Prepare cake pans by lining with parchment paper and spraying lightly with cooking spray. (You can also line a muffin
tin with cupcake papers.) - Combine 1 cup sugar with 4 eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Mix with a paddle attachment on speed setting 2 for 2-3 minutes.
- With mixer still running, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cups oil.
- Add ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt and 1-½ cups shredded carrots; mix for 2 minutes or until fully incorporated.
- Add 1-¼ cups of Kashmiri Spiced Carrot Cake Mix; mix for 1-2 minutes; then scrap sides and bottom of bowl.
- Add 1-¼ additional cups of the cake mix, mixing until fully incorporated; scrape sides and bottom of bowl. (Mix again if needed.)
- Pour batter into prepared cake pans or muffin tin.
- Bake on center rack in preheated oven at 350°F for 23-30 minutes (cake pan) or 20-25 minutes (cupcakes).
- Rotate pan halfway through bake time.
- To check doneness, insert a toothpick into cake center; it
should come out clean.
Chef Elizabeth’s Tip: For a more indulgent batter, add one or more of the following ingredients:
• ½ cup golden raisins
(hydrated and drained)
• ½ cup toasted shredded coconut
• ¼ cup crushed cashews
• ¼ cup crushed pistachios
Kerala Style Lamb Curry
Steps:
- Apply 2-3 Tbsp. of Kerala Style Lamb Curry Seasoning for each pound of lamb.
- Let lamb marinate overnight.
- Preheat a sauté pan over medium heat with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; sear lamb on all sides.
- For each pound of lamb, add ½ cup water to pan; then cover.
- Turn heat down and finish cooking to desired doneness.
Chef Elizabeth’s Tip: For tender cuts such as lamb chops, cook for approximately 5-7 minutes. For less tender cuts such as stew meat, simmer for approximately 1-2 hours or until tender.
