My Husbands Favorite Chicken Curry Food

CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken evenly with ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
• Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but still pink in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil to the skillet and set heat to medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and remaining 1½ teaspoons curry powder and cook until fragrant, about a minute more.
• Whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch together to dissolve the cornstarch, then add to the skillet along with the sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is nicely thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the peas and partially cooked chicken to the skillet, turn the heat down to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, a few minutes. Off the heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro; then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with basmati rice.

CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add potatoes and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned and tender. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
• Add carrots and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
• Remove excess oil from pan except for about 1 tablespoon. Add bell peppers and cook for about 30 to 40 seconds. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened.
• Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
• Add fish sauce and continue to cook for about 1 minute.
• Add coconut milk and water. Bring to a simmer, skimming any scum that may float on top.
• Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
• Add potatoes and carrots and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
• Add curry powder and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce starts to thicken.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add bell peppers and cook for about 1 minute or until tender yet crisp. Serve hot.

IRRESISTIBLE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, and then add to a bowl. If you'd like to leave the chicken uncut or if you are using bone-in chicken pieces, the chicken can be left whole.
• Scatter 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper over the chicken. Toss well and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• Make ahead: The chicken can be left to marinate up to 24 hours, keep it covered and stored in the refrigerator.
• Add garlic, ginger, onion and 1/2 cup of water to a blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth. An immersion blender with cup attachment can also be used.
• Heat the oil or ghee in a wide skillet (with lid) over medium-high heat. Arrange the marinated chicken into the pan so that it is in one layer and brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and place the skillet back onto the heat.
• Add the onion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring often, until all of the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric over the onion-ginger mixture, and cook for about 20 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, turn the heat down to medium-low and then cook another minute.
• Add the yogurt, a tablespoon at a time, stirring it into the sauce before adding anymore.
• Return the chicken pieces and any accumulated juices to the pan along with the remaining cup of water and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to a simmer, and then cover with a lid. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and stir in the Garam Masala and cream. Taste the sauce and add the final 1/4 teaspoon of salt if you feel that it is needed (we almost always add it).
• Turn the heat back up to medium-high and cook, stirring gently every now and them, until the sauce has reduced a bit and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with fresh cilantro scattered on top.

MY HUSBAND'S FAVORITE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together tumeric, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Set-up a clean plate next to the bowl to make an assembly line. Pat chicken strips dry, and then rub each strip all over with spice mixture. Don't be afraid to get a lot on them, as this will just add to the flavor later. Shake off any excess, and continue coating.
• Once all the chicken is coated, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set-up another plate near skillet. Once hot, add batches of chicken strips in a single layer. Brown on all sides, but don't cook all the way through (just a few minutes each should do). Set cooked strips on a separate plate, and once all are browned, set chicken aside. Keep the skillet on the heat, as you're going to use it next.
• In the same skillet, add the additional oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds- these should start popping in a matter of seconds. Add in the onion, garlic and ginger, reduce the heat to medium and cook mixture until brown. Once mixture as taken on a caramel-colored apperance, add in the rest of the ingredients, and bring to a simmer.
• Return chicken and its juices to the simmering sauce, allowing the sauce to cover as much of the chicken as possible. Reduce the heat to medium low, and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
