Food editor Sunita Solanki has a brilliant and tasty Chicken Curry – perfect for Mother’s Day!
Ingredients
1 tin plum tomato – blended
3 large onions – chopped
4 garlic cloves
2 green chillies
1 thumb size ginger
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 garam masala
4 chicken breasts – diced
Handful of coriander
Method
Step 1.
Use a deep pan, and add enough vegetable oil to coat the base of the pan. Add the chopped onions and cook till golden brown and soft.
Step 2
Once the onions are done, add the blended tomato, a handful of chopped coriander. Blend the garlic, ginger and chilli into a paste. Add 2 tsp of the paste to the masala, along with salt, and turmeric and garam masala. Cook for 5 minutes on a moderate heat, and that’s the base of your masala. Blend the masala if you would like it to be a smooth consistency.
Step 3
Add the chicken and cook for 20 minutes. After this time, garnish with coriander and serve.
Helpful tip: The base of your masala can be turned into butter chicken. Add single cream to a separate pan, along with 50g of butter, and 3 tsp of ground almond and pistachio. Then add the masala to the cream mixture and stir. Cook for 10 minutes.
