Lemon Chutney Chicken Food

LEMON PICKLE

Steps:

• Wash and finely chop the lemons, discarding the pips, then deseed and finely slice the chilli.
• Heat the oil in a small pan over a low heat and add the mustard and cumin seeds. When they start to pop, throw in the curry leaves. Fry for a minute or so, until they're nice and crisp.
• Add the lemons, sugar, chilli and a pinch of sea salt. Turn up to a medium heat and cook for around 10 minutes, or until thick, sticky and the lemons have softened.
• Leave to cool, then store in a sterilised jar in the fridge, where it will keep for up to a week. Delicious served with poppadoms, plain yoghurt and a red onion and tomato salad.

LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Coat the chunked chicken lightly in flour, seasoned with a little salt. Heat a large skillet or a wok-shaped nonstick pan over high heat. Stir fry chicken until golden, 3 or 4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and return pan to heat. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add a splash of vinegar to the pan and let it evaporate. Add stock or broth to the pan and scrape up any drippings with a whisk. Thin curd by stirring in a little hot water. Add curd to broth and whisk to combine. Add chicken back to the pan and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken sauce and finish cooking chicken pieces through. Remove the pan from heat, add the scallions or chives and zest, and toss chicken pieces well to combine zest and scallions or chives evenly throughout the sauce.

Add the chutney and curry powder and whisk until smooth. Add the lemon juice a little at a time and taste as you go. It should taste quite tangy. Stop when it is to your liking.

CHUTNEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil, a turn of the pan. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and brown well. Remove to plate and repeat for the remaining chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, when it foams add the cumin and stir a few seconds. Then add the ginger, garlic, chiles and stir another 1 to 2 minutes. Puree the stock and chutney together in a blender or food processor. Then add the chutney mixture to the pan and combine with the tomatoes. Slide the chicken back in and turn to coat. Reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, reheat the chutney chicken on the stovetop over medium heat. Toast the coconut until golden brown and fragrant. Cook the rice to tender, according to package directions. Fluff the rice and add the coconut, almonds, lime juice and some salt and pepper. Serve shallow bowls of rice topped with the chutney chicken and garnish with scallions and cilantro.
