Home-Styled Chicken Curry
Ingredients
3 Pieces (about 600g) Chicken Breast (skinless), cut into chunks
6 Yellow Flesh Potatoes, boiled, peeled, and cut into chunks
8 Hard-Boiled Eggs, peeled
1 Large Yellow Onion, chopped
3 Sprigs Curry Leaves
400 ml Coconut Milk
2 Cups Chicken Stock
Sea Salt to taste
Peanut Oil for cooking
Curry Powder
4 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 ½ tsp Ground Turmeric
4 tsp Aniseed Powder
4 Tbsp Ground Coriander
1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
2 ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
Method
Combine the chili powder, turmeric, aniseed, coriander, cumin, pepper, and cinnamon. Remove 2 tablespoon of the curry powder and season the chicken chunks with a little sea salt. Add 6 tablespoons of water into the curry powder, mix well to form a paste.
In a heavy pot, heat the oil and add the chopped yellow onion, together with the curry leaves. Cook until the onions are lightly brown in color. Add the curry paste, and cook until they are fragrant. Mix in the marinated chicken and cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked. Add the coconut milk with 2 cups of water. Bring the curry sauce to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, add the eggs and potatoes and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. Season the curry with sea salt and serve warm or at room temperature.
Yummy! This looks easy to whip up at home and definitely better than buying from the store!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteA mouth-watering dish. Great with bread or just plain rice.
ReplyDeletehats off chef! I usually cheat with ready made curry paste. thanks for the recipe, this lazy singaporean should get to work and cook from scratch more often! your dish looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can make this with a few adaptations. Always handy to know how many persons the recipe is designed for though.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe can easily feed 8 persons.
DeleteWow, this looks so good. Saving this dish to make!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Curry Powder in the recipe? I see 4 tbl Chili Powder and 3 Sprigs of Curry Leaves. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll the spice in the recipe is the curry powder.
DeleteAhh, gotcha! Thanks!
DeleteIs Chili Powder = cayenne powder?
DeleteCayenne pepper is less spicy compared to chili powder used in this recipe.
DeleteI love the look and simplicity of the dish. I have all the ingredients in my larder, aside from the aniseed powder - but I reckon if I grind some fennel seeds that should work! Definitely one to try in 2013.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of that bowl of chicken curry really takes me back to the motherland, though I don't think I've ever had it with hardboiled eggs. I don't think I've ever seen aniseed powder in the shops here. Is there another suitable substitute for that ingredient?
ReplyDeleteFennel seeds might be a good substitute if you can't find aniseed.
DeleteThis chicken curry recipe is very delicious! It goes perfectly over some roti.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. I love making my own curry.
