Got extra apples from this recipe?...

A little lemon juice, some garlic, and a few spices add a punch of intense flavor that infuses the meat right down to the center. Use boneless thighs or breast meat — whichever you prefer. While many recipes grill the meat, I prefer to bake this instead. Who wants to lose all that delicious flavor from the sauce?...

When we make a vegetable curry at home, it is either in a gravy form or dry form. Almost all the South Indian curries, also known as poriyal or thoran are in the dry form.

Like most cocktails, the true origin is unknown, but the popular theory is that the drink was invented by a New York bartender named Troy Alexander.

Want another similar cocktail recipe? Try my Mudslide recipe, White Russian recipe, or chocolate martini recipe....

Have fun with the flavors and toppings to really make this recipe a family favorite....
