8:53 am
and what's going into this dish. >> it's a combination of ginger garlic. cilantro mint then a bunch of spices. the star of which is a dry mango powder. it's really tangy. it's got a funkiness that i think is the key to what makes this recipe. indian spices i feel like are more accessible than they have been before. it's great. >> well, i love indian foodbu t i find the preparation in timidating. >> this cookbook is for you. every dish is, you know, one of those 25 minutes or less in terms of active time. the ingredient lists are simple. they're really straightforward. i feel like i want to break that misconception that indian food is heavy or complicated oth someg you can't do on a weeknight. basically we've got -- we're making our marinade. we've g chopped cilantro and mint. we're going to add in our ginger
8:54 am
and garlic. we've gotur tasting table assembled here. they're wasting to time. >> then we've got lem juice, olive oil. and they're going to mix that into a little paste. yeah. these are all ingredients that are decious. feel when i'm making this, how can i go wrong with tons of herbs and jginger and garlic? thenskinless, poenless breasts here. you prefer that for what reason? >> i feel like they're what most home cooks are ying. they coofast and this method we'll be doing this sort of low heat kind of slow metho yields the maximum juiciness i found. we're going to dump in our spices. mix that all up. >> got tom cumin in there, i imagine. >> got some cumin. it just smells really good. you canatmell th >> i do smell that. i like that. >> this is the only recipe that has caused me to want to eat chicken that style. >> how long are we going to
8:55 am
marinate th0? >> 2 minutes to two hours. two hours being ideal, but if you are short on time, no rry. >> carson, you an india food guy. >> the key is in what you're doing now. once you get that marinade, u're good from there. >> then you're good. >> could you grill it if you wanted? like an outside grill? >> we have grilled it before. i think one of the those on the show -- >> craig's right. it's a flavor profile that's intimidating to the average person. but if you get the ingredients, you'd be fine. >> all right. so we're just going to sere it on both sides on high heat. this is a foolproof method for cooking 'vchicken, ie found. just as many breasts fill in the pan. so you're going to sere it on both sides for one to two minutes until golden. then you're going to cover it, cook it on low heat for ten minutes. turn the heat off, let it sit for ten more minutes and you're good. >> the magic of television.
8:56 am
