2. Grilled tikka-masala-style chicken
3. Mozambique chicken
When you guess which recipe contains the ingredient, please leave only the number 1, 2 or 3 in the comments below. Please don't leave the name of the ingredient, so others can have fun guessing, too. And let us know if you have this in your pantry.

No. 3 -I always have this lurking in my fridge. It is a favourite as is with Hoisin Sauce.

That should read "as is Hoisin Sauce". My typo has got me thinking that I must try using both in a recipe!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend - we have sunshine!!!

#3, and I don't have it in my pantry, unless you count its presence in a prepared Pad Thai sauce.

3. I love this flavor but I never cook with it. Need to work on that. And I do have some in the fridge.

I love this flavour! One of our favourite ways to use it is in puliyinji (sp???), a fabulous chutney made with curry leaves, ginger and the mystery ingredient.

I think the ingredient would be in the Penang style baked chicken.

3, and we always have some in our fridge to use when making something deliciously Malaysian like daging masak hitam.
