Mild Chicken Curry - Easy to Follow Recipe

Mild Chicken Curry - Recipe

 There is a wide variety of different spice packs you can buy when making a curry. These are the best three that I narrowed down and I opted for the middle one.

Ingredients:

• Tender & Tasty Chicken Breast
• Basmati Rice
• 3-4 Carrots
• 3 Fair Sized Potatoes
• 2 Onions
• 2 Tubs of Plain Bulgarian Yoghurt
• 4 Garlic Cloves
• 1 Can of Chopped Tomatoes
• A Handful of Coriander
• 1 Thumb-Sized Piece of Ginger
• Red Curry Paste
• Chutney
• Indian Curry Leaves
• Pack of your Preferred Spice Mix
• 2 Chillies (Optional)

 Preparation:

• Finely dice onions, ginger, garlic and chillies
• Chop up the carrots
• Peel and half the potatoes
• De-stork coriander and give it a quick, rugged chop

Now you can begin.

• Put oil in a pot and warm on the stove
• Add the onions and saute with garlic, ginger and chillies for 15 minutes, careful not to burn

 

• While you wait, slice your chicken breast into strips

• Add in your tumeric and paprika (which for me is provided in the spice mix). At this point your mix is going to be extremely dry
• Water your mix down

• Now add the tin of chopped tomatoes, a big spoon of red curry paste and two dollops of chutney

 Add in dry coriander seeds (also provided in spice mix,) along with your carrots and potatoes

• Add some more water now to assist the sauce and cook the raw ingredients
• Grind in some salt and pepper here and there
• Add a sprinkle of coriander, keeping the rest aside for final garnishing
• Toss in some Indian Curry Leaves
• At this point you can start making your rice
• Important Note: Only put chicken in when the potatoes are semi-soft! Let the sauce boil and bubble in the meantime, stirring every so often
• Add chicken and leave it to sleep while it cooks under the red sauce, you don't want to disturb the chicken too much as it will fall apart

• After about 5 minutes add in the final layer in your spice mix (the final spice mix smells a lot like star anise to me, but the packet doesn't specify. If you can't get your hands on this exact packed then just throw in a whole star anise or two, fishing them out later. This gives the dish a really nice, subtle liquorice flavor)
• Taste your sauce.

• If satisfied, take out a piece of potato to see how soft it is. 
• Dish up, adding yoghurt and coriander on top and enjoy!!
