Chicken Curry

chickencurry.jpg

The curry tastes great on its own, but you can try adding these ingredients to change the taste:

  • For a thicker, creamier curry add 2 tbsp plain yogurt (regular or greek)

  • Use 2 tbsp chopped coriander to the pot to add some extra flavour and a pop of colour (use any extra as a garnish)

  • You can use chicken breast instead of the whole chicken, but bones always add flavour!


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Difficulty: Easy-Moderate
Serves 6


  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (or 1/4 tsp citric acid)

  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes (approximately 2-3 large tomatoes)

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into medium-sized pieces

  • Chilli powder to taste

  • Modifiers listed above (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 1 red or green chilli (optional)

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp minced ginger

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 whole chicken, skin removed and cut into small pieces (separate thighs and legs, cut each breast into 3 to 4 pieces)

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tbsp coriander powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric


Method

  1. Use a blender to mix cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, lemon juice, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and 1 cup water.

  2. Place minced onion and oil into a large saucepan. Sauté until brown. 

  3. Add garlic, ginger and chicken to pot. Let cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Add the blended mixture to pot.

  5. Add additional water to reach desired consistency (1-2 cups).

  6. Simmer the curry on low heat until chicken is cooked, stirring occasionally. At this time add chilli powder (careful!) and any modifiers.

  7. Meanwhile, parboil potatoes in a separate pot. 

  8. When chicken is cooked (or close), add potatoes and let simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes. 

  9. Serve with rice (cauliflower or regular) or roti and enjoy!
