Simple chicken curry

May 26, 2013 7:28 am

It has been a few days that my hubby wanted to eat typical daal bhaat, aachar and masu. Normally we don’t eat rice at home so yesterday I decided to make him the Nepali meal. So I cooked this simple chicken recipe.

Ingredients

• Chicken, about 1.5 kg, cut into medium sized pieces
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes diced
• 2 fresh green chilies
• 2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
• 8 teaspoon olive oil
• 3  teaspoon cumin powder
• 2  teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric power
• A few curry leaves
• Salt as per taste

Steps

• Remove the skin from the chicken.(optional)
• Season the pieces with 3 tablespoons of oil, salt, chilli, turmeric, coriander and cumin powder.

• Set aside for at least an half hour.
• Heat rest oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken pieces and cook until brown on all sides; usually 6–8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.

• Dice the tomatoes and green chillies, make a puree, and set aside.

• In a pan, add remaining oil, throw in the garlic ginger paste, and curry leaves.

• Then add the onions and fry for 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring regularly.

• Once onion is cooked, pour the tomato puree and let it cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. If the sauce reduces significantly, add some water.

• Mix well and add the chicken. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until tender.

• The delicious chicken curry is ready and it can be served with rice or roti.

   1. Normally we make a list for a week on weekend so we go shopping according to the list. Our dinner normal will be piece of roast chicken/ lamb or grilled fish with salad or roast veggies. I do pasta bake sometimes or nachos/tacos some days. If we feel like eating Nepali I will make dal , vegi, meat and have roti instead of rice. We also make chowmein or momo from time to time. Try different veggis and dal/beans every week so you don’t get bored. Other things I cook, I have put them on the recipe section on this blog. Normally, we cook easy food during weekdays and more time consuming on weekend. Hope it helped 🙂
