Here’s a basic recipe for Curry Chicken:

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast: 500 g, cut into pieces
  • Natural yogurt: 200 ml
  • Onion: 1 large, chopped
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, chopped
  • Fresh ginger: 1 piece of 2 cm, grated
  • Curry powder: 2 tablespoons
  • Turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Peeled tomatoes: 400 g (canned)
  • Coconut milk: 200 ml
  • Oil: as needed
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Fresh coriander: for garnish

Preparation

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Mix the yogurt with 1 tablespoon of curry, a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally for a few hours in the refrigerator.

  2. Prepare the Sauté: In a large frying pan, heat some oil and sauté the onion until it becomes transparent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute.

  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken (without the excess yogurt) to the pan. Sauté until it is colored on all sides.

  4. Add the Spices: Add the remaining curry and turmeric, stirring well to cover all the chicken.

  5. Add the Tomatoes and Coconut Milk: Incorporate the peeled tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens.

  6. Season and Garnish: Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander.

  7. Serve: Serve the curry chicken with basmati rice or warm naan.

Tips:

  • Marination: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more tender and flavorful it will be.
  • Variations of Spices: You can add other spices like cumin, coriander powder, or chili to suit your taste.
  • Coconut Milk: For a lighter version, you can substitute the coconut milk with chicken or vegetable broth.

Curry chicken is a classic Indian dish, loved for its creaminess and deep spicy notes. Enjoy your meal!
