Title: Chicken Chili Masala
Post by: Curry King on April 15, 2005, 09:41 PM

I made a chicken masala tonight as follows:

3 or 4 tbsp Oil (veg or olive)
1 tsp Garlic & Ginger puree
Half a tbsp Tomato puree
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
Fresh whole chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp Hot chilli powder 
1 tsp Curry Powder (mix)
Pinch of methi leaves
1 Desert spoon lemon juice
1 Tsp sugar
Salt to taste
5 or 6 Ladles of curry gravy
Small handful of chopped coriander (include the stalk)
Pre-cooked chicken

Fry the onion and fresh chili in the oil until soft.
Add the chopped garlic, garlic - ginger puree and fry for a few seconds.
Add the tomato puree and fry for a minute or 2.
Add the chilli powder and curry powder cook for a further minute.
Add a couple of ladles of curry gravy and reduce down.
Add the methi leaves.
Add the rest of the gravy, lemon juice and sugar.
Add chicken and allow to simmer until cooked through.
Sprinkle in some chopped coriander and stir in with the salt if needed.
Garnish with coriander.

Made a lovely curry almost like a Dhansak but with onion and chili , lovely  ;)

I always tend to make my currys a large portion for one that will do two if you know what I mean.

I had one from a restaurant the other night actually and compared to this one its pretty much spot on with the only major difference being the chilis were whole rather than finely chopped.

Hmmmm looks delicious! ;D

Going to give it a try tonight. Just wondering...do you use the small hot thai green chillis or the bigger fleshy milder ones??

Cheers

The BIR's tend to use the longer green chillis, I think these are an essential taste of the BIR

Curry King,
Excellent photo! I will try your recipe over the coming weeks. Unfortunatley, I am selling my house and have restricted cooking for obvious reasons.

For chilis I use about 8\10 birds eye's, you could use more or less or different chili's if you prefered.
