How to Cook Simple Chicken Curry
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Place the oil in a frying pan or large saucepan over a medium heat and add the onion. Fry for about 5 minutes, turning regularly, then add the chicken and cook for a further 3 or 4 minutes until the meat is browned on all sides (you can add a little more oil if needed).
- Meanwhile, place the flour into a small bowl, dissolve the stock cube in a tablespoon of hot water and pour it slowly into the flour, stirring to make a paste. Add the cold water gradually, stirring to prevent lumps. Pour this into the pan with the chicken and onion, then add the curry powder, sultanas, garlic (peeled and crushed), salt and pepper.
- Stir the mixture whilst bringing to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Peel and chop the apple and add to the pan after 10 minutes of simmering. Continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes and it's ready to serve!
- While the curry is cooking, you can prepare the rice in accordance with the instructions on the packet (usually boiled in salted water for about 15-20 minutes).
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
For light, fluffy rice, boil a kettle of water then, when the rice is cooked, drain it in a sieve (strainer) or colander and pour the boiling water over. This removes any excess starch from the rice and stops it sticking.
Reviews of Simple Chicken Curry
September 19 2014 You're right that this is a very simple way to create a curry. Obviously, it lacks the subtleties and nuances of an authentic Indian restaurant curry, but it's still very acceptable and well appreciated by my husband, who's a bit of a spice junkie! Ida (7 reviews) |
