I haven’t really felt like cooking over the past couple of weeks but today finally I was in the mood to cook. I haven’t had a curry in a couple of weeks and so I decided I fancied a curry for dinner tonight and so I came up with this.
SPICY CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Large Chicken breast, chopped into chunks
- 2″ Fresh Root Ginger, peeled
- 4 Large Cloves garlic
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Turmeric
- 1 1/2 Tsp Garam Masala
- 1 Tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 Tsp Ground Coriander
- 1 Fresh Green chilli
- 2 Small Tubs natural yogurt
- 1 Medium Onion, sliced
- 300ml Passata (sieved tomatoes or tinned tomatoes)
- 1 Large Bunch fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 Handful cherry tomatoes
PREPARATION
- Brown the chicken lightly in a little oil. Once browned remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the onion to the pan in which the chicken was browned and cook gently until softened (about 10-15 minutes over a low heat).
- Puree the garlic, ginger and chilli in a food processor. Add the paste and the spices to the pan with the onions, turn up the heat and allow to cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken, yogurt, passata and half of the chopped coriander and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 40 minutes until curry has reached the desired consistency.
- Shortly before the end of the cooking time add the cherry tomatoes and the rest of the chopped fresh coriander.
- Serve with Basmati rice. Enjoy!

Great recipe Pamela. I’m a big curry fan. Once we get ourselves sorted out here I’m going to suggest this to Eva. Just have to find an appartment with a big kitchen!

sounds good, like the use of yoghurt and tomato passata here – very north indian in influence!

oooer. A scot in CH. Well I live in CH, since January, before which I lived in Scotland for 6 years. Not sure you’ll like my blog much – it’s a tad political. But do drop by.
p.s food looks good – think I will try it!
