Curry Roast Chicken

Because it was only decided at the last minute that he was going to be cooking dinner last night, Justin decided to make curry chicken, a simple dish that we actually haven't had for quite a while. However, the fact that we are going home (yeyz!) soon is showing its effects. We were out of almost everything, onions, shallots, garlic, etc. Deciding that you can't really make a good curry without onions, Justin took me and Hadi's suggestion and made a roast curry chicken instead.

He covered the chicken in curry powder, parsley and other random stuff that he can't seem to remember -_-; as usual. He sprinkled yet more curry powder on the chicne before baking it in the oven for about 50 minutes, till the chicken was cooked.

The end result was...well, Hadi and Justin seemed to like it. It was very strong on the curry taste, but doesn't taste much of anything else really. Justin didn't add in any salt, so it was just not and to me, had no flavour other than the curry (which is just hot really). In fact, it was waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too hot for me. :( I could only take one piece of chicken *sigh* Hadi and Justin had to split my other piece :(

Not only that, now that we're out of rice, the boys bought Basmati rice "for a change". I will say....I do not like Basmati rice >.<>

The resulting chicken had a powdery texture on the outside due to the...well, curry powder :P I think Justin's chicken would have been better of he had used a curry paste that Hadi has. Or if he made a paste out of the curry powder he was using. Although, apparently, this was on purpose and he was very carefully trying not to have any water mixed in with the powder. I'm not sure exactly why... -_-; Plus just a pinch of salt would have definitely been a plus.

In case you're curious, the night before last, I had just indomie for dinner :( Hadi and Justin went out for Tae Kwon Doe (till late) and I had no chicken OR rice available, so my only choice was Indomie... Wasn't too bad actually, hehe.
