INGREDIENTS


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces


1 large white onion, finely chopped


2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste


2 tablespoons curry powder


1/2 (2 inch) stick cinnamon stick, broken into pieces


8 pods whole green cardamom pods


4 bay leaves


6 whole cloves


1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste


15 whole black peppercorns


2 teaspoons coriander seeds


DIRECTIONS


Heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and ginger garlic paste. Season with curry powder, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, bay leaves, cloves, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds. Cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. At this point, gravy will be runny; if you want to thicken, remove lid, and cook until liquid is reduced.Whats the best chicken curry recipe?
Curries are pretty easy and taste much better if you cook from scratch.





For a great Korma recipe fry onion, garlic and ginger until the onion is translucent, add 2 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp tumeric mixed with a couple of tablespoons of water and fry for 30 seconds then add 400g meat (chicken, lamb whatever), brown the meat slightly then pour over 1 tin coconut cream, 125 ml yoghurt, 3 egg yolks mixed together in a bowl and simmer for 20 minutes stiring every now and then so the mixture doesn't split. Just before you serve it stir in 1/4 tsp almond extract (not essence) and serve with toasted almonds.
Well, you can always ';doctor'; it up a little to make it even better!! Fix it the way you like.
I just make my own with hot curry powder and turmeric for colour.
