My husband loves experimenting with different spices and mixing flavours. Tonite he cooked an amazing, lip smacking chicken curry dish which was infused with goan & south indian spices.
Ingredients:
500g Chicken
2 potatoes (cut into cubes)
1 tablespoons Ginger/Garlic paste
2 small cinammon sticks
2-3 slit green chillies
1 onion chopped finely
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2-3 kokum fruit pieces
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 tin coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder (see below how to make it)
Few curry leaves
Fresh chopped coriander for garnish
The curry powder is a mix of tumeric, red chillies , coriander seeds, perppercorns, cumin seeds and salt. Grind together , this powder can be stored and used in different curries.
Method:
1. Marinate the chicken in ginger/garlic paste and salt and leave for couple of hours. You can leave it overnight.
2. Heat some oil and fry onions till lightly brown. Add the mustard seeds,cinammon sticks,curry leaves & chillies, make sure not to burn the onions.
3. Add chicken & potatoes , fry for a bit and then add the curry powder. Mix well until the chicken is coated well.
4. Add coconut milk, stir. Little water can be added if required. Season with salt.
5. Once the gravy starts to thicken add the tomato puree. Cook until chicken is tender.
6. Garnish with coriander and serve with pitta bread or rice.
