Imagine a culinary adventure where the vibrant spices of Indian cuisine intertwine with the comforting warmth of Mexican flavors. Today, we embark on just such a journey, creating a dish that celebrates the fusion of these two diverse culinary worlds.
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Preparation Process:
Total Time: 1 hour
1. Spice Up Your Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin and coriander seeds and toast until fragrant. Grind the toasted spices in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
2. A Flavorful Fusion: Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Add the ground spices, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, onion, and garlic. Cook until the onion is softened.
3. A Creamy Curry: Pour in crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assembly Time: Warm the tortillas on a griddle or in a skillet. Spread a layer of curry sauce on each tortilla. Top with shredded cheeses.
5. A Crispy Finish: Fold the tortillas in half and cook on the griddle until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.
Serving Ideas:
A Global Feast: Serve these curry-quesadillas with a side of cilantro-lime rice and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
