spicy chicken curry

spicy chicken curry alongside rice, madumbi, bitter gourd, plantain, pesarattu and salad with a serving of tomato chilli sauce

 

leftover from yesterday flic.kr/p/2rjJWdX madumbi, bitter gourd and pesarattu gently reheated in a warm cast iron pan brushed with oil

fresh plantain was added to the same pan

all gently cooking whilst i'm getting on with the chicken curry

 

spices dry roasted in a pan on the stove cardamon, cloves, chilli, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, star aniseed

when spices cooled blitzed in the nutribullet put to one side

finely chopped onion cooked in the spicy pan

diced uncooked chicken pieces added (see below)**

pureed fresh green chillies and fresh ginger added

portion of cooked chicken added (see below)*

blized spices added

splashes of water as and when necessary

added chopped fresh tomato and chopped ball pepper

all gently cooked on a low heat a curry needs time

chilli powder and turmeric powder added great colour

splashes of water as and when necessary

later in the cooking added tomato concentrated puree and more water just as and when

in all i gradually added at least 1 cup of water, enough to keep it moist and flavoursome personal judgement

when not checking the curry or stirring the lid is kept on throughout the cooking

all cooking on a gentle heat

 

* a few days ago chicken portions were cooked with onion and water, bones removed, cooked chicken boxed for the countertop freezer to be made into various recipes as and when

this morning a box was removed, contents thawed, and half was used for this curry. the other half returned to the fridge for tomorrow, maybe a soup

 

** a few days ago lean chicken was cut into small cubes by the butcher. these cubes of uncooked chicken were boxed for the main freezer to be made into various recipes as and when

this morning one box was removed, contents thawed and a few cubes of chicken added to this curry. the rest returned to the fridge for tomorrow, as yet recipe unknown :)
