First the name. Why Double Up? Two reasons: 1. twice the sauce you need and 2. the marinade and the sauce take the same spices, but you put twice as many spices in the sauce and in the marinade. So, Double Up Chicken Tikka Masala. If you weren’t in a hurry, you’d make the sauce below,…

Presssure Cooker Lower Carb One Step Dan Dan Style Chicken
I live in the suburbs of DFW which means getting good Sichuan food is not easy. Well, I mean, it’s easy, it’s just a 45 minute drive which is really a pity because I love Sichuan Food. So I have to resort to making it for myself. I made a super tasty Sichuan Pork Soup…
Pressure Cooker Low Carb Poblano Chicken Soup
You know those white chicken chili recipes? I always look at those and wonder if you can still call it chile when it has no chilis in it. What’s white chili anyway? I don’t know. What I do know is they look very interesting. But they also have a lot of white beans in them and…
Even Easier Pressure Cooker Arroz Con Pollo
NEED A TESTER PLEASE! Would someone be willing to try this recipe out, EXACTLY as written? Someone made the arroz con pollo and said hers burned, so although mine had not, I decided to simplify the recipe even more. The new recipe asks to use un-rinsed rice, based on my reading that unrinsed rice…
Pressure Cooker Mexican Chicken Green Enchilada Casserole
Much like my Lazy Person Chicken Enchilada casserole, this too doesn’t require rolling of the enchiladas. It’s a bit sloppy-looking but it tastes good and it’s family-friendly if you leave out the Chipotle chile in Adobo sauce. I’d serve it like this for a quick family meal, but I’d roll them up nicely for company….
Pressure Cooker Sweet & Spicy Chicken Tinga
A tinga is basically a shredded chicken dish that has green and red tomatoes and chipotle chiles. You usually use the resultant chicken in tortillas, as a grown-up version of a taco filling. Nice when you want something other than the typical Tex-Mex ground beef taco mix. A tinga is typically made with vegetables that…
Low Carb Chicken “Biryani”
I feel like a genius for having created a low carb “biryani” today, that tastes as good as one with rice, but without the rice. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but today’s scale reading provided the impetus. I came back from India with about 6 lb. to lose. I know. I was…
Mexican Cooking Week Recap 2
Mexican Cooking Week 1 was pretty busy as this post shows, but week two yielded some nice gems like Horchata, Arroz Con Pollo, etc. I’ve also been a little busy with the Indian Cookbook that is now available for sale as an e-book But here’s everything I made this week. Everything listed here except the Arroz…
Pressure Cooker Arroz Con Pollo
I burned this the first time I made it. HUGE mess in my pressure cooker and it took me forever to clean it out. Thankful for stainless steel inserts that stand up to a good scrubbing. The first time around I had too little water, and I used tomato paste which is tricky to use…
Pressure Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
I have simplified my previously simple Tortilla Soup Recipe even more, by cooking it all in one step, in the Instant Pot, but without compromising the flavor. There’s really only one manual step, but this one is an important one. It’s essential to sauté the vegetables until they thicken. This will take at most 10…
