Directions:

Make the Curry Spice Mix:In a medium dry skillet over high heat, toast the coriander, cumin,allspice,mustard,fenugreek,peppercorns,andclovefor2to 4 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Transfer the spice mix to a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or to a high-speed blender. Grind to a powder. Transferthepowdertoasmall bowl. Add the turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Make the Curry Chicken: Trim off any excess fat from the chicken. Cut each chicken quarter into 3 equal pieces and place them in a large bowl. (Using a serrated knife can be helpful for this, particularly on the skin.) Add the curry spice mix, garlic, onion, olive oil, and salt. Use your hands to massage the mixture into the chicken pieces until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Remove the chicken from the fridge. Place the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add enough of the chicken (and the onions and garlic) to cover the bottom of the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean bowl. Repeat until all of the chicken has been browned.

In the same saucepan you used to brown the chicken, add the chicken stock, bay leaves, Scotch bonnet, and chicken pieces. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heattolowandletsimmer,uncovered,foratleast35minutes, or until the chicken is completelycooked and beginning to fall off the bone.

While the curry is simmering, place the potatoes in a medium stock pot. Fill the pot with water to cover the potatoes by at least 2 inches. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain.

Add the coconut milk to the saucepan with the chicken and stir to combine. Let simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add the potatoes. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Toast the Cashews: Preheat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cashews and give the skillet a shake to ensure they’re arranged in a single layer. Toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant. Immediately transfer the nuts to a medium bowl to cool.

Just before serving, remove the bay leaves and the Scotch bonnet from the curry chicken and discard. To serve, place ½ cup (125 mL) steamed rice in each bowl. Ladle the curry overtop. Garnish each serving with some toasted cashews, toasted coconut, fresh cilantro, and mango chutney, if desired.

House of the Dragon season 2 will pick up where season 1 left off (which is still about 200 years before the events in the Game of Thrones series we all know and love). We don't have an official plot synopsis for the new season quite yet, but we do know it'll feature the Taragaryens navigating power dynamics, politics, and, of course, dragons.

One plot line that fans are expecting, however, is the inclusion of Blood and Cheese. In the book series, these characters are assassins who sneak into the palace with the intention of murdering a member of the royal family to avenge the death of Lucerys Velaryon.

How many seasons of House of the Dragon are there?

Image via Theo Whitman/HBO

There are two seasons of House of the Dragon right now. But based on the fact that Game of Thrones was incredibly popular throughout its eight-season run, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting at least five or six seasons of this prequel!

There are currently five books in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, but author George R.R. Martin plans on finishing the series with seven in total.

Is House of the Dragon season 2 coming out?

Yes, we're getting a House of the Dragon season 2. HBO announced the fantasy series would be getting a second season on August 26, 2022, which was only five days after its premiere!

Brit + Co

Directions:

1. Add pancake ingredients to a heavy duty blender and blend until thoroughly combined. This ensures a smooth uniform batter.
2. Heat a small (8 inch) pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. You want the pan to be piping hot when ready to pour the batter.
3. Use a one-fourth measuring cup for pouring the batter. Pour in the batter and immediately tilt the pan so that the batter is spread evenly in a thin layer on the pan. The batter will start cooking very quickly and is ready to flip when the edges start to flip up, about 1 minute.
4. Flip pancake with a wide rubber spatula and continue cooking on the other side for another 30 seconds until a golden color.
5. Move to a plate to keep warm until all pancakes have been made.
6. Roll up and top with favorite toppings when ready to serve.

What is the story of the Apples Never Fall?

Apples Never Fall (based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty) follows the Delaney family: retired tennis coaches Stan and Joy, and their now-adult kids Amy, Troy, Logan, and Brooke. Their time together gets upended when a wounded woman named Savannah shows up at their front door asking for help — and then disappears around the same time Joy goes missing. Now it's up to the kids to figure out where their mom went, and discover whether their parents' marriage was as perfect as it looked. That is, if they don't kill *each other* first. Watch the Apples Never Fall trailer here.

Where was Apples Never Fall filmed?

Image via Jasin Boland/Peaco*ck

Apples Never Fall started filming in Queensland, Australia starting March 2023. Australia has some seriously beautiful landscapes, and it makes the scope of the show that much more impactful. Not only is it just incredible to see onscreen, but it perfectly contrasts the intensity and ominous feel of the plot — and I'm totally here for it.

What is the ending of Apples Never Fall?

Image via Vince Valitutti/Peaco*ck

Spoiler warning! While the season finale isn't out yet, the ending of the Apples Never Fall book is a fairly positive one. After spending the majority of the story MIA, Joy actually reappears at the end of the novel. She explains that before she left, she wrote a note telling the family she'd be away with Savannah. So when both Savannah and Joy disappeared — and the note got lost — everyone assumed the worst. I guess all's well that ends well?
