PAG's Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

**PAG** · 20-09-2018, 03:35 PM

This is a very rich and aromatic curry, that goes well with either basmati rice or roti.

OK, start with heating a few tbsp of coconut oil in a large lidded pan, and when hot add half a finely chopped onion, around 4 crushed cloves of garlic, and a square inch of crushed fresh ginger. Saute for a few minutes until tender.

Then add a mix of 2.5 tbsp roasted Sri Lankan curry powder (PM me if you want the recipe for this), 1 two inch cinnamon stick, 1 tsp cayenne pepper or chilli powder, 1 tbsp paprika (not smoked or sweet). Mix everything well together and cook until you start to smell the spices.

Then add around 2 lbs of chicken (I've used chicken breasts cut into 6 chunky pieces per breast), and 3 large green chillies deseeded and sliced into strips lengthwise, and around half a tin of chopped tomatoes. Stir everything together and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat with the lid off.

Then it's the turn to add half a cup of coconut milk, half a cup of water, and 2 tsps of apple vinegar. Stir to mix completely then cook on a low heat for 15 minutes with the lid on.

If the sauce looks a little thin, continue to cook with the lid off for a few minutes until the sauce thickens to the consistency you want. Then allow to cool slightly before serving.

Looks delicious Pag.

My wife tends to make her curry sauce a little thin so it mixes well with the rice and Roti Paratha.

Some want the sauce a little thicker but most like it as it is! You can't please everyone.

Great job anyway mate. Well done!

If you forego the usual accompaniments of rice and/or breads and copious quantities of beer, curries are very, very low carb.

I read the other day somewhere that adding branston pickle to curry gives it a great flavour

Google it...

I got this off mums.net

I have always been a Jar person I am afraid but got told a secret one day about putting a large tablespoon of Branston Pickle in with any, balti, jalfrezi etc sauce you can buy, the difference it makes is amazing! t makes it taste home made so all you do is add some extra onions and mushrooms and Voila!!!
