WOW! That’s an awesome post!! We eat a lot of baby shark on the East coast of India.. Am not a huge fan but it has a distinctive taste that many people love [Reply] 
anncoo - July 28, 2010 - 16:46
I’ve never heard of smoked shark before only Chinese sharkfin soup. [Reply]

Oh my hat, never mind the shark, look at that bedroom!! Wow, you are really living the dream…my dream! [Reply]

 I am nuts about nuts… Love them all, although I have a slight allergy for them. Ever heard of the most common allergy which is apple, raisins and walnuts? Well, I have it.. Really nothing serious; but whenever I eat a raw apple or walnut (once used in something I’m fine) my throat, ears and...

Oh I really love this recipe!! Almond butter in curry! Great idea/ [Reply] 
Audax Artifex - July 14, 2010 - 12:23
Most of my friends are like that also dinner MUST be hot while I can have it hot or cold or warm so long as it is food LOL LOL. What a lovely result you got it looks stunning (as always) I just love your photography and do try the Asian noddle salad everybody raved about it and do use all the garlic it is so delicious I used it for the rest of the week. Thanks for the kind words on my blog. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia. [Reply]

Great job on our challenge. The almond butter nut looks so delicious with this chicken dish. Love the clicks. [Reply] 
Kayte - July 14, 2010 - 15:28
Just saw Renee’s version of this and bookmarked it, now I am really thinking I need to make this sooner rather than later as yours looks wonderful also. Fun to read the post, and thanks for the recipe. I have never made a nut butter before so I am intrigued by getting to have a new experience. [Reply] 
Pia (Taga_luto) - July 14, 2010 - 16:27
Everything look delicious. I also made almond butter but blanched them first and got rid of the skin. [Reply] 
outoftheoven - July 14, 2010 - 17:38
Your photos are just stunning! Great job on the challenge – everything looks amazing! [Reply] 
Jenni - July 14, 2010 - 17:48
Beautiful job! Your almond butter looks like it turned out perfectly, and I do think that is the best looking chicken with curried tomato almond sauce I have seen yet! [Reply]
Asha@FSK - July 14, 2010 - 18:27
YAY!! you made Indian!!! how did you like it?? tell me tell mee! [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Haha! I loved it! But then I have always loved Indian food.. [Reply] 
Joy - July 14, 2010 - 21:48
Great recipe. I love that you created a curry dish. For some reason, I don’t associate nuts with curry. This recipe is a perfect marriage between curry and nuts [Reply]

I have never made nut butter from almond or cooked anything that involves almond nuts. Your chicken with curried tomato almond sauce is itself a cooking invitation for me to try it for the first time since your photos are so convincingly delicious. Sawadee from Bangkok, [Reply]

I always have to be careful when I come to your site because I can sit here and get lost in your pictures for way too long. You are so talented! Your curry and nut butter looks delicious! What a great challenge. [Reply] 
Katie - July 15, 2010 - 14:30
I’ve never made my own nut butter before but longing to give it a go now – looks wonerderful. Great idea to use it in a curry [Reply] 
sippitysup - July 15, 2010 - 16:19
Dinners must be hot. That’s a new one on me. Sounds like you take it in stride! GREG [Reply] 
lisaiscooking - July 15, 2010 - 17:09
The almond butter sauce sounds delicious! Looks like a must try. And, you’re right about salads. They’re definitely a good option for dinner during hot weather. (I live on salads during the summer!) [Reply] 
Valérie - July 15, 2010 - 19:33
It’s funny that Tom insists on having a hot dinner. In the winter, I insist on having at least one hot meal a day, but in the summer, I’m more than happy to live on salads, sandwiches, and cold soups. The thing about the noodle “salad”, though, is that it can easily be turned into a stir-fry (just take out the cucumbers), which would also be good. Maybe you could try that? Anyway, your chicken looks very delicious, and I love your photos of the almonds! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: You’re absolutely right about that noodle salad being able to be turned into a stirfry! I think I can easily fool Tom that way… lol… I could eat salads or other cold stuff these days without any problem whatsoever! [Reply] 
Peter G @ Souvlaki For The Soul - July 16, 2010 - 02:08
Great idea to use the nut butter in a curry dish Simone…clever! I’m mostly a salad eater in hot weather! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Yep, me too… I am soooo gonna make that asian salad soon! [Reply] 
Ivonne - July 16, 2010 - 03:42
Oh my gosh! That first picture of the nut butter makes me want to make it … AGAIN! So delicious and beautiful! [Reply] 
Hannah - July 17, 2010 - 00:58
It’s so hard to pick a favorite nut butter, but almond is probably the one I buy most often. Your homemade version looks incredible- so much smoother than I can usually get mine! [Reply] 
Kate at Serendipity - July 17, 2010 - 08:58
Simone, this looks like a wonderful dish. Do you think it could be made with cashew butter instead of almond? I’m wondering if the buttery flavor of cashew would go with these spices… Gorgeous photos, as usual! [Reply]

Simone..this dish I wanted to make so bad, but just didn’t have the time, mouths to feed, or energy. Seeing yours, I soo wish I did and now will. SO beautifully executed and photographed. I swear..if and when I get married, I want you to photograph it..along with the food (or just follow me around, you’ll get plenty of pictures of me gorging on the food) LOL [Reply] 
Foodjunkie - July 18, 2010 - 11:41
What a great recipe. I love nuts in cooking and this looks absolutely delicious. Many people want something hot for dinner, but I like cold foods in general, even when it is not as hot! You should also have a bbq now that the weather is so good. [Reply] 
Jennifer @ Maple n Cornbread - July 18, 2010 - 12:17
As always, beautiful pictures!!!! I love the sounds of the almond butter in the curry! Fabulous idea!!! I make homemade almond butter weekly so its always on hand! Saving this! thanks! [Reply] 
DharSon - July 19, 2010 - 21:08
This looks great and yummy! I’m going to try this, my husband is kind of Indian (sounds stupid but his roots are from India) so he has to like it. [Reply] 
Adriana from Baking Powders - July 22, 2010 - 15:48
my goodness! homemade almond butter sounds like the perfect pairing for lots of things, included that chicken, great combo! [Reply]

Wow! It looks delicious! I must try it! Thank you for sharing! [Reply] 
A Canadian Foodie - July 28, 2010 - 17:19
I am nuts about nuts, too, but cannot imagine that the almonds would hold a balance of flavour in a curry, so I am not surprised they were not overpowering. I think the texture would be nicer with the nuts not being so smooth. I am surprised that they held their own within the flavours. Really. It looks lovely. [Reply]

 It doesn’t really happen very often that I use a recipe to make pasta. To me it is just the perfect meal when we need something quick, tasty and want to use whatever we have in the fridge or closet. So that is also the way that this fettucini came to live…. It’s hot here...

Being from Greece I am used to this weather. But all I hear from Nederlanders is how much they can’t stand these temperatures. [Reply]
nina - July 12, 2010 - 15:04
Love the addition of rocket to that lovely bowl of pasta, it’s like adding a few grindings of pepper, just better!!! [Reply]
Asha@FSK - July 12, 2010 - 17:30
agree… pasta is like the go to quick meal and in days like these, the ease of making it is such an asset. very satisfying meal, I see there, especially rounded off with some of the popping ice creams you have been making! [Reply] 
peter - July 12, 2010 - 20:50
Love the bitter greens to offer up some fibre and colour to the dish. Sorry about that damn octopus! [Reply] 
Soma - July 13, 2010 - 02:17
That looks so perfectly delicious!! Love the light summery setting… it is calling my name. regarding the comment problem last time, it could have been my machine too. it has been been behaving quite wacky lately. The Add Comment button kept on blinking without the comment box opening up. had no troubles today. [Reply]

Oh this is just the kind of meal (for two) that I absolutely love in the summer and I love the jazzy flavors. I think you just decided what I am making tonight! Thanks, Simone! And love your pictures… [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks Jamie! And yes, absolutely perfect for two (or three or four or…) [Reply]

I bet the smoked chicken is crazy delicious in here! Especially with the sun-dried tomatoes. Lovely flavors for such a quick and summery meal. [Reply]

Simone, I really really really hope that I can meet you one day. Your entire approach to food makes me feel like we’re kindred spirits. This pasta is just so perfect. I completely understand what it’s like when it’s way too hot and you’re hungry! Now I’m hungry … [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I so hope we can meet one day too! And I bet that will happen!

This is the first recipe I’ve come to on your blog and already I feel the need to comment. This is gorgeous. I can’t wait until I’m home from grad school with my own kitchen again to make this! [Reply]
Jenn AKA The Leftover Queen - July 14, 2010 - 18:28
I am pretty sure I have made this pasta dish, on a evening similar to the one you are describing, using just what I could scrounge up! Tastes so good though! Love the photos! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Perfect meal for whatever you have in leftovers! [Reply]

 The heat has struck again here and guess what I decided to do this afternoon? Remove all the weed from the garden! Really a fabulous idea when the temperatures are soaring way above 30 (can’t really tell exact numbers… I don’t have a termometer in the garden) but at least it’s starting to look like...

We’re suffering the scorching heat here too (more than 30ºC yesterday inside the house…) and I wish I had some mangoes at hand right now! [Reply]
anncoo - July 8, 2010 - 18:30
WOW beautiful mango ice cream. I also like to have some of this too to beat the heat here. I think the best mango is from Thailand and Philippine, then come to Australia and India.

Mango sounds like a lovely and refreshing flavor for ice cream! It is addicting! Especially when you can mix and match your own flavors – some that are hard to find at the market. Scrumptious pictures! [Reply]
Soma - July 9, 2010 - 04:43
Isn’t this bliss? We are fortunate enough to get very good mangoes here and in abundance during the season and very inexpensive too. So i have stopped whining about all the varieties I don’t and used to back home in India. Eating mango is an art we learned growing up [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I am jealous of your mangoes Soma… really… I remember from being in tropical countries that the fruit is just amazing compaired to what we have here!! Interesting way of eating a mango but I will definitely give it a try (but I will probably manage to still make a mess of it I am sure!) [Reply]
