You got a recipe for that curry?
Seconded!
I don’t have a recipe exactly… it was one of those “what’s in the pantry” creations. Here’s what I used:
- 500g chicken breast
- 1x 400g chickpea can
- 1x 400g tomato puree can
- 1x 400g coconut milk can
- 2 onions
- 5 garlic cloves
- small piece of fresh ginger
- ground spices: cumin, garam masala, coriander, white pepper, red chili (about half teaspoon each)
- crushed whole spices: allspice, mustard, coriander, cardamom (5-10 seeds, depending on size)
I roasted the whole spices for a minute with a couple bay leaves in some peanut oil, added and sauteed the chicken for a couple minutes, added the chopped onions, garlic, ginger. I leave my spices in, my kids love to crunch on the seeds, but you can take them out before adding the chicken.
When the onions are translucent, add tomato paste, when it starts to simmer, add coconut milk, leave on medium heat until the chicken is ready (about 20-30 minutes). 5 minutes before taking off the head, add chickpeas (juice too, depending on how thick was your tomato puree) and ground spices, salt to taste.
For the rice, I used basmati, one cup in a pot of water (use the knuckle method), boil with half teaspoon salt on medium heat until water evaporated, and the rice has a bit of tooth still. I added maybe 50g of butter on top, and covered the pot and put it away until the curry was ready. Before serving, lightly mix the melted butter in (careful not to break the grains).
I bought the naan ready made, frozen. Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander.
That’s pretty much it.
That looks fantastic and I want some.
Dude dump that shit straight into my face hole
If you made that naan at home I need the recipe!
No, I’m afraid I didn’t. I bought the naan ready made, frozen. Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander.
Looks delicious!! This is one of my favorite go-tos for a filling and hearty meal.
Not a criticism, but in case that’s a bay leaf hiding in there, you probably want to pull it out before eating. Bay leaves do their best work without needing to eat them. They’re not toxic or anything (that’s a common myth), but you definitely don’t want to accidentally bite into that thing. Your mouth will regret it…
Think I’ll make some curry tonight though, thanks for the inspiration!
I used to take the crushed seeds and bay leaves out, but then my kids would go around my kitchen and munch of them after taking them out of the pot. So I just started leaving them in 🤷
Um YUM
it’s been a while since I’ve made tikka. That will be my next meal I make.
I wish I could make decent naan. It’s always ruined.
I buy mine, frozen. I don’t have that much time to make naan from scratch :) Just added some butter, crushed garlic, fresh (frozen) parsley and coriander. 2 minutes in the oven.
You gonna eat that bay leaf?
Hell yeah :) I mentioned in other comments, but my kids love them, so I started leaving them in.
That looks bomb. What’s the secret to good curry? I’ve tried a dozen recipes and it never comes out good.
I think the spices make a huge difference. Especially their freshness. My wife manages an expat community here in Germany, and we sometimes have culinary exchanges. Some people join these events just to eat, I join to cook and learn :) we cooked so far Indian, Afghan, Turkish, German, Romanian.
I can smell that through the screen
teach us ur ways :0
Damn, got the chicken and their peas. Savage.
always looking for a good side dish for curry meals - any suggestions? I mean naan is mandatory so other than that
I can’t think of anything else tbh, I mean curry & rice & naan work beautifully, I don’t want to break the balance :)
another person suggested samosa, gonna give this recipe a go
😋
