Chicken Pistachio Korma

Our Korma curry, representing the color of moonlight, is of Persian influence and is inspired by the Awadh region of India. It is a smooth and creamy masterpiece that infuses hints of star anise and cloves in a buttery coconut base to punctuate any meal. It is Rupen's Korma creamy almond coconut curry. Our Korma Curry is ready to use straight out of the jar. Saute meat or vegetables, add curry, simmer for a few minutes, and your curry is done! One jar is sufficient for one lb of meat or vegetables.

Pistachio Madeleines

I have made this recipe a few times, and I have made it with walnut butter (since I had some), so I play with various kinds of nut butters and see what you like. Pistachio nut butter is my absolute favorite. And since I did not have any at home, I made my own, and I don't think it was...
