Ingredients
Scale
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves in bite-size pieces
- 1 chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup (185ml) coconut milk
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped cilantro (fresh coriander) to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat.
- Saute the onion until it is lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic, curry powder, paprika, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger, sugar and salt. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken, tomato paste, coconut milk and yogurt.
- Bring the curry to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaf and stir in the lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
- Simmer the curry for 5 minutes more before serving, garnished with cilantro, over rice.
- Alternatively it’s nice with naan bread (I love peshwari naan with its raisins and coconut!)
Notes
If you want less heat, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper (and perhaps the curry powder too). Just keep tasting as you go and add a little at a time!
