I like dishes that have a “bite” to them, and this vinegar chicken has that in spades. Be warned that this dish is pretty strong and may not appeal to everyone. More cream could be added at the end, and/or maybe some sugar could lower the tartness, but to me, I like the tartness. If […]

This is an earthy-flavored curry that I think works well with ground, dark turkey meat. Other ground meats such as beef, lamb, or chicken should also work.
