This is a recipe for a spicy sauce good for chicken and lots of other foods, rice in particular.
Sauce base
Cream (kremfløte), usually orange carton. 6dl, two regular packs
Creme Fraiche, usually blue "bucket". 3dl, one regular pack
Maizena flour as thickener. Just a pinch.
Spices
Soy sauce. 6 tablespoons . Preferably the regular Kikkoman from any grocery store
Chili paste. 6 tea spoons . Preferably Zambal Oelek from Kiwi.
Cumin. 3 tea spoons
Pepper. 3 tea spoons
Paprika powder. 4 tea spoons.
Preparation
Pour the cream in a non-stick pot and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for a while to be reduced. When it gets a little thicker, add a pinch of maizena flour. Remember to finely powder it or it will become clumpy. Add the sour cream.
Add spices *slowly*, taste as you go. Et voila, you got a sauce great for anything!
If you want to stretch the sauce, add whole milk and thicken with corn starch (maizena). As it stands it is somewhat expensive to make, but oh so worth it!
Tips on preparation, sauces in general
Keep the rest of the sour cream in reserve in case you add too much of something, in that case you can use the sour cream (or cream or milk or sugar) to reduce its spice or saltiness. Also add half spices first, then a little more and a little more. Start low, go slow.
The amounts listed is my preference, but you add in and taste as it goes. As you slow cook the sauce while adding and stirring, the sauce gets thicker, eventually to become a gravy. If you feel confident, add the rest of the ingredients. Paprika powder you don't need to be so careful about, it's mainly the chili (spicyness) and soy (saltiness) that can be too much.
