For a few days, the family was on a “croquette diet,” 😁 discovering spices and flavors that led them on a journey through unknown culinary worlds.
Every meal was a new discovery, a new adventure. Yet, as the heart always longs for home, so did they, despite enjoying new dishes, crave the warmth, the comfort that only familiar tastes can bring. And then, with the scent of chicken and rice, the food that reminds us of love, always present in its simplicity, returned.
In the kitchen, where every spoon carries a story, today I prepared a dish for my family that carries the scent of something familiar, yet still, something new.
The chicken fillets, quickly seared like a golden moment in the day, were paired with basmati rice, carefully mixed with carrots and leek—vegetables that became soft but didn’t lose their shape, much like the soul that, despite time, still carries the traces of past days. Each grain of rice absorbed the aroma, and I added the spicy Indian Madras Garlic Pickle, which, like ancient secrets, brought the perfect balance between spice and tenderness. The rice, sautéed to perfection, was not just a dish, but a song passing through our lips.
Then, a creamy mushroom and pepper sauce, like a whisper, enveloped the meat, giving it a depth that was not just taste, but an emotion that poured over every bite. That moment, in that dish, was like love—present in its simplicity, yet grand in its fullness.
And so, in every bite, leaning into the warm dish, we felt how the love that connects us doesn’t need to be spoken—it is here, in simplicity, in taste, in every moment of togetherness that stays in our hearts.

Qué buen aspecto tiene tu plato de pollo y arroz, con esa salsa de setas y pimienta. Está claro que el amor te supura y mientras cocinas, cae a las ollas, cazuelas y sartenes. Tu familia es afortunada. Bravo!
¡Ah! y que bien suena ese ‘indian madras garlic picke’ 😉

Between the creamy sauce, the golden chicken, and that colorful rice, there’s a great balance of textures and flavors. Is the balsamic touch meant for contrast or to enhance the dish’s flavor?
The attention to presentation is clear, and molding the rice gives it a more polished look.
We hope you can join the cookie challenge and start a new series with more seasons,this is already shaping up to be a great premiere! 😄

@Sussan Estela Olaya As for the balsamic addition, its mild acidity refreshes the richness of the other ingredients and contributes to the harmony of flavors.
I’m preparing for the cookie challenge and bringing plenty of exciting gastro stories this time as well! It will be a true culinary adventure! I just hope there won’t be any horror surprises this time! 😂🔥

This looks absolutely delicious—a dish that doesn’t just feed the body, but tells a story with every bite. 🍛✨ The way you balance flavors, from the golden-seared chicken to the aromatic basmati rice, feels like a perfect dance between comfort and discovery.
How did you find the addition of the Madras Garlic Pickle? Spices have a way of carrying memories, much like food itself. This dish feels like a warm embrace on a plate. 🔥🥄

@Sol Damiani I bought Madras Garlic Pickle out of curiosity because I love Indian food and apparently enjoy testing my limits.
The first bite? Like garlic and its gang of spices gave a fiery speech directly on my taste buds. 😁 Sour, spicy, intense – this isn’t a spread, it’s a weapon. 🔥🔥🔥 😂
But I tamed it! I added it to rice with leeks and carrots, carefully measuring the madness, and got the perfect balance – just enough chaos to elevate the dish, but not enough to knock me out. ☺️
I saw some more Indian products that I have to test 😁🔥😎

@lanamihajlovic Oh, please do and tell us everything about them! I just fell in love with a tabasco sauce I got from a nearby store. These fellows are so strong we can’t let them go!
