Sweet and sour chicken curry
« on: January 18, 2015, 10:14 PM »
This is not a BIR curry which is why I have posted it here. It is based on a recipe in a book called " best ever cook's collection - Indian ". It is very tasty and a curry that I used to cook a lot before I discovered the techniques that are discussed on this site.

Ingredients

3-4 Chicken breasts chopped into bite sized chunks
400-500g Greek yogurt
140g Double concentrate tomato puree (not diluted)
200g Mango chutney (Sharwoods with kashmiri chilli), can be blended
5-6 large cloves Garlic crushed
0.5 large bunch Coriander chopped 
1.5 tsp Schwartz Hot Chilli powder (not ground chilli but a blend of spices)
1.5 tsp Schwartz Garam masala
1.5 tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tbs Veg oil
1 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Elaichi powder
280 ml water

Method


Blend all the ingredients apart from the Chicken, Coriander, oil and water.
Heat the oil in a Wok or Karahi (I use a non stick Wok). Lower the heat slightly then add the yogurt and spice mix and boil for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken and stir well to coat the chicken. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken. Add the water ( you may not need all of it) to thin the sauce a bit then cook for a further 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped Coriander and cook until the chicken is tender. Serve with rice.
