    Evangelizing this recipe. Making it now, on the last few minutes. The sauce is incredibly delicious. Will serve over brown rice. It's really easier than it looks. I ground up some almonds to make the meal since almond flour is expensive and I'd never use it again.

    @Mik Looks great, will definitely try it; we love Indian food.

    I bought almond flour at Costco, not terribly expensive, but as you point out it's not something you use a lot.

    I made almond cake.

    The almond flour is holding its own in the freezer.

                  I make a lot of stock and use it in nearly everything. Love the process and the end result tastes much better than anything I can buy. Long slow simmer, etc.

                  Tried this guy’s new way (heresy!) and it’s superior to anything I’ve made before. Also done in one hour with $6 worth of ingredients.

                    Fascinating! I wonder if you could use raw chicken.

                    Got to try this. I've been drinking bone broth for a while now and apparently I can make it in Instant Pot.

                      @Mik

                      I don’t know why not, and you can control the salt more easily.

                      Maybe go for 2 hours rather than 40 minutes? He says anything under 3 hours is ok. Or roast the chicken first if you want roasted flavor. Easy and quick enough if using parts or you hack up the whole bird first. Got cleaver? 😎

                      OTOH, the $5 Costco rotisserie chicken (or even the $8 Heinens rotisserie chicken) is hard to beat as far as value.

                        I've been making stock in the Instant Pot for eons. Works great.

                        I even copied over the recipe I posted on the old WTF many years ago:

                        https://wtf.coffee-room.com/post/6949

                        I could definitely see the rotisserie chicken version, though, and especially the part about breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Will definitely give it a try.

                          I'll try roasted and not and see how it goes. Kroger has Tyson natural chicken on buy one, get two free this week.

                            Dicing up the veg is also a new twist. I’ve never seen anyone do that.

                              Not only dicing, but sauteing before adding the liquid ingredients. It adds a lot of depth of flavor.

                              Julia Child does the roasting thing to make turkey gravy for her deconstructed roast turkey. It makes fabulous gravy.

                                I user to make a vegetation stock (and pressure canned it) just keeping all my veggie scraps (including onion skin) in a bag in the freezer (no cruciferous veg). Once I had a large freezer ziplock full I put it in our large crockpot and filled to the top with water. 6-8 hours later I strained the stock and either froze or pressure canned it. I loved having it around and someday I’ll probably go back to making it.
