curry recipe

[Kath Cowen]

Does anyone have a recipe for a chicken curry that is relatively quick to prepare?

A recipe for a Dahl Korma would also be welcome...

Hi Kath, Welcome to the forum.

Giuseppina said she would find a good one for you, but I always just make mine up as I go with what I have on hand, so I suppose that is quick and easy?

Chicken pieces - make them about thigh / wing size
Some curry powder, red/yellow/green, you decide.
1 onion chopped how you like it.
Oil and a tablespoon of butter to bind mixture
Salt to taste.

Brown the chicken pieces and onion in a pan with the oil and curry powder, turn until the chicken is browned and nicely coated in the mixture. (this is where I do a judgement by eye and experience of tasting the previous meal with this particular curry powder)

Add a tin of finely chopped tomatoes and simmer with a lid on top.
Add a small potato chopped in quarters and or some carrot/zucchini or broccoli pieces, add a splash of red or white wine if it needs a little more liquid. This is a recipe I make different each time based on what ingredients I have.


Another suggestion is to buy a curry jar, some are quite nice these days and you may find an actual "Dahl Korma" mix. Many curry pastes and powders at supermarkets have recipes on the back and you are in the perfect place to them get those extra ingredients if you need them.

I like my curry served with rapid boiled long grain white rice. Add a few microwaved poppadums for a side dish and you can imagine you are in a restaurant.
