Tips
1.Good quality garam masala is always a benefit, indian supermarkets or spice markets are good places to start. 2.Coconut milk powder is far less sweet than a coconut paste but still gives the curry a delicious creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1-2 onions finely diced
- 2 chicken breasts and/or legs
- 2 tbsp Garam masala
- 2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp corriander powder
- 2 potatoes
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1-2 tbsp coconut milk powder
- salt
Method
- 1. Firstly fry the onions in small amount of oil, this can be done in a saucepan or large sided frying pan at medium to high heat.
- 2. Add the desired amount of chicken to the onions, (alter the amount depending on the number of people)The chicken should be diced into medium sized pieces or whole legs can be added however about 10 minutes should be added to the cooking time if this is done. Also add the peeled and diced potato at this point.
- 3. Once the chicken is sealed add the spices (the amounts stated are just guidelines and should be altered to taste). Turn the heat down to low.
- 4. In a separate saucepan add a suitable amount of coconut milk powder (or paste if the powder is not available) along with a cup of water and a teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil.
- 5. Once the milk powder or paste is fully dissolved in the water pour the mixture into the sealed chicken and turn the heat back up to medium.
- 6. Leave the mixture to simmer for around 20 minutes - half a cup of cold water may need to be added as the resulting curry should have a reasonable amount of thin sauce.
- 7. serve with basmatti rice and nan or chippatti if desired.

Tips
1. The secret of a great curry is the mixture and waiting until the oiul rises to the top of the sauce before you put in the chicken 2. This should be served with slices of onion and chopped coriander on top - with a pot of yoghurt on the side.

Made this today.For those that don't like a hot curry take the seeds out of the green chillies.The remaining curry left in the pan I have frozen and got 3 meals to look forward too.Usually the flavour gets better after freezing.

one tip i would add is to take the seeds out of the chillies (not mentioned above) so I doubled the recipe and blended 4 whole red chilies and it was incredibly hot - helped that i served with sauted onions, potatoes and spinach - a kind of sag aloo - still a great curry but I will tone it down next time

And how hungry you are I guess as well, I made this as i said previously and it only fed me and in one sitting! Lovely!

It does say two but it all depends on the amount of chicken you use. I made this for 14 last night and happily fed them with 8 chicken breasts.

How people does this serve?

Mmmm, just made this for lunch. I added a tablespoon of palm sugar and a used sweet potato to give it that sweet taste before the after-burner of the chili kicked in! And served it up with my Ultimate Pullao Rice
I made my own Masala Spice mix, so I must upload that recipe to.
cheers
