This is my mums delicious chicken curry recipe. Its simple and easy to make and really comforting. I hope you all enjoy it. The recipe serves 4
Ingredients
*900g chicken thighs and/or breast if you want (try and use free-rangeand or organic. Thighs are a cheaper option)
*300g or 2 medium/large onions
*1 inch of ginger
*3 tbsp cooking oil ( I used coconut but you can use sunflower/olive/veg or your choice.)
*4 small green chillies
*15g or 4 medium/large cloves garlic
*500g or 5 medium tomatoes (get the very best you can buy)
*1 tbsp tomato puree
*2 tsp salt
*1 large tsp garam masala
Method
-
Finely dice the onion and ginger
-
Heat a pan under a medium heat with three tablespoons of oil and throw in the onions and fry.
-
Give the onions a good stir, bring the heat down to a low heat and put the lid on.
-
Cook the onions for 20/25 mins stirring every five minutes or so, until they are caramelized and sweet smelling. Don’t rush this part!
-
Finely chop the chilli and garlic and chop up the tomatoes.
-
Throw the chilli/garlic in the pan and let that cook for a few minutes until the raw smell of the garlic dies down.
-
Then add the tomatoes along with salt and tomato puree.
-
Give it a good stir, bring the heat up to medium and let that cook down for another 20 mins. What you want to end up with is a thick, dark, luscious consistency.
-
Dice up chicken breast (or thighs if you are using those instead) and add the chicken to the pan, give it a stir and let it cook on a medium heat to high heat. Don’t let it burn or dry out but it needs to be fairly vigorously cooked for a good 20/25 minutes until you get a thick rich stew and the chicken is cooked.
-
Then finally add 1 large teaspoon of Garam Masala stir and cook for 5 minutes and you are done!
You can serve it with cucumber raita, chappatis or basmati rice or if you’d rather a lighter dish serve with a grated veg salad or stir fried cabbage or whatever you want!
Thanks and enjoy
bon appetit
