CHAMORRO CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Begin by heating the oil on medium high heat, in a large 8 qt. pot. Add the onions. Saute them until slightly translucent. Add the chicken pieces. Stir to combine well with the onions. Add all the seasonings. Stir to combine well with the chicken pieces. Add the water. Stir once again to combine well with the seasonings and chicken. Bring this to a boil. Throughout the cooking time, remember to spoon off the fat floating on the surface of the broth. Once a rolling boil occurs, cover and reduce heat to medium low and allow to cook for about 35 - 45 minutes. Stir in between cooking time and remove the fat floating on the surface of curry. After 15 minutes of cooking time, add the carrots and potatoes. Stir to combine with the chicken pieces. Cover and continue cooking for the remaining cooking time of 20 - 30 minutes more or until chicken is tender and potatoes are cooked through. Making sure to stir often in between cooking time. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly, adding more if needed! Prepare the thickening slurry by combining the coconut milk and cornstarch. Whisk them together to form a smooth mixture. Set this aside until the cooking time is over, or when chicken and potatoes are cooked. Once the cooking time is up, stir the slurry once again to remove any lumps. Slowly pour this mixture into the curry, making sure to continue stirring while pouring it in. The curry will thicken almost immediately. Stir until well combined with the curry soup. Allow the mixture to come up to a slight boil, and then turn the heat off. Serve with white steamed rice.

ROSE'S CHAMORRO CHICKEN KELAGUEN

Steps:

• Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
• The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.

HOME-STYLE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Roughly chop 1 large onion, transfer to a small food processor, and add 3 tbsp of water - process to a slack paste. You could use a stick blender for this or coarsely grate the onion into a bowl - there's no need to add any water if you are grating the onion. Tip into a small bowl and leave on one side.
• Put 6 roughly chopped garlic cloves and 50g roughly chopped ginger into the same food processor and add 4 tbsp water - process until smooth and spoon into another small bowl. Alternatively, crush the garlic to a paste with a knife or garlic press and finely grate the ginger.
• Heat 4 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or sturdy pan set over a medium heat.
• Combine 2 tsp cumin seeds and 1 tsp fennel seeds with a 5cm cinnamon stick and 1 tsp chilli flakes and add to the pan in one go. Swirl everything around for about 30 secs until the spices release a fragrant aroma.
• Add the onion paste - it will splutter in the beginning. Fry until the water evaporates and the onions turn a lovely dark golden - this should take about 7-8 mins.
• Add the garlic and ginger paste and cook for another 2 mins - stirring all the time.
• Stir in 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp caster sugar and continue cooking for 20 secs before tipping in a 400g can chopped tomatoes.
• Continue cooking on a medium heat for about 10 mins without a lid until the tomatoes reduce and darken.
• Cut 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs into 3cm chunks and add to the pan once the tomatoes have thickened to a paste.
• Cook for 5 mins to coat the chicken in the masala and seal in the juices, and then pour over 250ml hot chicken stock.
• Simmer for 8-10 mins without a lid until the chicken is tender and the masala lightly thickened - you might need to add an extra ladleful of stock or water if the curry needs it.
• Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped coriander and serve with Indian flatbreads or fluffy basmati rice and a pot of yogurt on the side.
