Indian Paper Art Book

[Saurabh Cloudas]

Indiapaper is a type of paper which from 1875 has been based on bleached hemp and rag fibres, that produced a very thin, tough opaque white paper. It has a basis weight of 20 pounds (30 g/m2), yet bulks 1,000 pages to the inch.[1]

It became popular in particular for the printing of Bibles, which could be made relatively small and light while remaining legible. The 1911 Encyclopdia Britannica boasted, "Printed on thin, but strong opaque India paper, each volume but one inch in thickness." The process was used particularly by the Oxford University Press and its paper suppliers. The name arose because the paper imitated fine papers imported from the Indian subcontinent.[2][3]

*I used 1 cup HEAVY cream, and 1 cup water. You could use table cream, or sub 1 cup for milk (but be careful for curdling if you lessen the fat content!).

**** There have been MANY questions about tomato sauce. If you aren't in the USA, you probably call it something else (maybe passata?). This is not ketchup. I used something very very similar to this product.

I've made it with 14oz diced tomatos. Cream may be put in at the END of simmering to prevent curdlng. Low fat or regular yogurt , or coconut milk can be used instead of cream if you put it in at the end. (Just simmer for about 5 minutes)

This is the first mention I've seen in all the recipes that actually mentions that milk or cream will separate if you cook it too long. Whenever making any cream or milk sauce or soup, add it at the very end.

I'm also surprised that this blogger says that cooking chicken longer will make it more tender. Over cooking chicken makes it into rubber and makes it dry, regardless of how much sauce is on it. Stew beef is something that gets more tender and not dry if you cook it longer, but certainly not chicken.

I impressed my boyfriend, but most importantly MYSELF with this dinner last night. I do not cook ever but decided to try this one and we both loved it. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me confidence to cook! I will look to see if you have any more recipes, because this one was such a delightful experience. Thank you!

Longer cooking, or higher internal temperature, helps chicken thighs in particular breakdown the cartilage and connective tissue. Chicken is "done" at 165F but going to 175 or 185F on the thighs definately makes them more tender.

No disrespect but if your chicken is coming out dry and rubbery the longer you cook it in broth then you do not know how to cook. It means you are cooking at too high a temperature. A skilled and experienced cook would know that.

Janet, what a nasty, condescending comment. It literally offered no advice, nor was it made for any other purpose than to show superiority. Why not explain how you (a master chef, OBVIOUSLY) would better prepare chicken so we can all learn from your expertise? Then you could condescend, giving yourself a boost of superiority, while also allowing others to grow. I would imagine you're incredibly fun to be around. Oh... Forgot to add - no disrespect, of course! That makes saying any horrible thing okay!

You are very wrong!

I have experienced the milk to curls e when added to food with high lemon content.

Indeed, chicken does get more tender and falls apart when cooked for lengthy periods.

I am an expert Indian chef and cook chicken all the time.

Yes I agree with Noella, add cream at the end. I've used this recipe 4 times but made changes to make a healthier option by using less butter by 2 tablespoons.I add 1/2 cup water to spices before combining with onions. Also I whizz up 2 large onions (instead of 1) with tomatoes (I use a can of diced tomatoes, or plum peeled) in NZ. I put in a glass bowl to do this then add bk to pan with chicken & cream. I also add a little flour in water to thicken sauce. Delicious. My family love it.

I cooked it this past summer for my college-going son and his friends. It was my first time but it turned out perfect! Just googled it again to make for my friends this time. This one is a keeper ?

instead of meat i had non. i did swede/rutabaga, potato & carrots cubed gave some pan color did the rest the same but i added (allergic to milk) 1 small can unsweeten coconut milk plus water to make the 2 cups plus 1-2 tbsp corn starch to thicken. but rest was the same was good. i had it with rice and onion bhaji we like it cut and served in the curry then naan and white rice on side. ty. good fast simple dish to make.

Can't wait to make this tonight! Indian food is our comfort food. Have you made it will milk? I am just wondering how it changes the dish. Do you mix the two or just do one or the other? I'd like to make it a little healthier, maybe.

One more tip, when the chicken is shallow fried or browned, use the same pan to make the gravy as well. The burnt chicken crust at the base of the pan adds flavor. You can even grill the chicken with Tandoori masala and add it to gravy. Or use left over tandoori chicken to make the butter chicken, its quick and super yum... Happy cooking.

I have also recently discovered that you can make delicious Indian food at home. Its awesome! So far, I've been using lite coconut milk in place of cream. Maybe changes the flavor a bit (more Thai curry-esque maybe?), but its a bit lighter and still adds creaminess.

Made this tonight...tastes amazing! BUT how is yours so vibrant and red?!? The cream made mine orange...not that it matters but maybe the 2 cups was too much?? I don't recall skipping out in a spice...did you tweak anything? Just curious!

I think the pictures make it look more red than it really was! I was surprised about that too. Also, the fact that I used cream combined with water may play into it here. I'm glad you liked it, though!!

I have no words! Ok...I do because I must tell you that this has changed MY life as a cooking housewife! I waited until the kids went to bed and my husband and I made this dish along with some homemade naan and I'm not even sure how life existed before this! Thank you so much for sharing this with us...ugh...*licking my bowl...literally*

Great recipe...flavorful, not too spicy. Made your naan too. I only had whole chickens in the freezer, so after it thawed, I cut it up and cooked it with everything but the cayenne (which we omitted completely) and the milk on med in the oven for 1.5 hours, added milk and let simmer til it thickened a bit. consensus was that it was AWESOME and I have kids 3-15....all scarfed it right up. Thanks for sharing!!
