American BLT-sandwich

Yesterday I made some BLT-sandwiches for me and my friends while having a study day, it was really a great lunch and a very appreciated break from all the studying. I highly recommend it!

Ingredients:
toasted bread (2 slices per sandwich)
lettuce
tomato
bacon
mayonnaise
butter

salt









Fry the bacon in the pan until it's crispy. Toast the bread and butter it. Put on a layer of lettuce, then the bacon and tomato. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on top and add some salt. Put the other slice of bread on top and then it's done! :)

 


I give this recipe stars!
It's really simple and quick to make and it's super good. It's a great lunch :)

Indian chicken curry and rice

This is a recipe me and my friend came up with one night when we felt like having something Indian for dinner. We experimented a bit and finally came up with this, we really loved the result!

Ingredients:
1 kg chicken fillets
1 ½ red capsicum
1 ½ banana
milk
flourpaprika spices
cayenne pepper
curry
salt and pepper
rice



Start with cutting the chicken into small pieces and fry them in a deep frying pan, add salt and pepper. Chopupp the capsicum and throw it into the pan when the chicken is completely cooked. Add milk to the chicken, and mix in flour to make the sauce thick (the amount of flour depends on how thick you want the sauce to be). Add all the spices, season after your own taste. At last you put in the banana, if you put it in to early it will go very soft.
Boil the rice after the instructions on the packet.







I give this recipe 5 stars!
This is super tasty, the combination between the sweetness of the banana and the spicy taste of the curry is super good! It can be nice to add some peanuts as well and you can vary this dish quite a lot and add whatever you like.

It is a very nice dish, the fish is very tasty with the breading. The only thing that is a bit annoying is that it takes a while to make and it can be a bit tricky and messy when you're breading the filet. But it is definitely worth it! It is very nice to serve with broccoli or some other boiled vegetables.
