Chicken Curry

Spicy, simple and delicious.  This curry is a family staple.

Ingredients:

• 1kg chicken breasts or thighs
• 3 tablespoon vegetable oil;
• 1 onion chopped (red onion is best);
• 6 cloves garlic chopped;
• 2 Tablespoons good quality curry powder/ masala (we make our own);
• 2-3 tablespoon Indofusion tamarind or mango chatni
• Salt to taste;
• handful of freshly chopped coriander

Method:
Trim meat, remove all bones and slice into 1 cm strips (against the grain).  Heat oil in large saucepan, add onion and cook till lightly browned.  Add garlic stir fry for 1 minute.  Next add curry powder, mix well and cook for a further minute. Stir chicken through, cook until meat is well seared (5min), and continue to cook on moderate heat for 15 -20 mins or until tender.

Mix through 3 tablespoons Indofusion tamarind or mango chatni, fresh coriander and salt to taste.

Serve with steamed basmati rice and roti

NB>For a saucier curry- after searing meat add 1 can of chopped tomatoes or 1/2 cup light coconut cream or coconut milk
