Chinese Carry Out Chicken Curry

[Beadle]

This is a recipe very similar to chicken curry that you'd get from a carry out in England, with ingredients that most Westerners will enjoy.

You will need:

1 chicken breast
1/2 white onion
1 potato
2 tbs peas
2 red or green chillis
1" piece of ginger
3-5 cloves of garlic
500ml of water
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbs plain flour
2 tsp salt
Dried chilli powder to taste
Pepper to season

First of all do your maison plas and get everything organised.



You'll need to finely chop or crush the garlic and ginger. Get a pot ready on the stove with about 3 tbs of oil heating.



Saute the garlic and ginger in the hot oil.



Mix the curry powder well in with the flour. I used this brand.





Then add the powdered mixture to the pot and stir well.







Let it bubble then add in the paprika, the salt, the dried chilli powder and a pinch of pepper.



Once it is all mixed in, add in the water gradually, stirring as you do so.



It will look like it is too thin a consistency, but it will thicken and it will also cook the potato and the peas for us, so you can dice the potato and chuck it in now. bring the liquid to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes.



Prepare the rest of the ingredients by dicing the chicken, slicing the chillis and roughly dicing the onion. Get a wok or frying pan on and heat some oil.

[Beadle]

The water should be simmering and the potato pieces cooking, so you can throw in the peas now too.



Into the hot wok add the chicken and the onion.



Peas and potato coming along nicely.



Stir fry the chicken and the onion on a high heat and throw in the chopped red chillis.



After a couple of minutes add the contents of the frying pan or wok to the sauce in the pot.



The flour is now starting to thicken the sauce. Taste it now; if too salty add more water and continue to simmer. Season again to taste. Now you can just let it simmer away for 20 - 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

My girlfriend bought herself some Moo Nam Tok as insurance in case she didn't like the curry. She was hovering around looking at it suspiciously thoughout preparation.



The finished article.



Serve with rice or chips.

^^^^

Gotta new gas bottle and made it !
Left out the chilli powder 'cos it does not agree with me !
Bloody Good
Thanks !

[Chairman Mao]

Delicious this stuff is. Has taken 3 goes to get it just how I like it.

Personally I leave out the ginger, load in the MSG, and add raw onion just as it's finished. So they're still fresh and crunchy upon serving. Also have the sauce seriously thick.

Delish. Good stuff Beadle.

[Smug Farang Bore]

I' m still waiting Boodle, I'll have the chicken..!

[Loy Toy]

We must of went to the same cooking school Beadle as I cook Chicken curry almost the same way.

One day I'm going to stick up a thread for making Indian Chapatti. Goes well with that kind of curry.

[Chairman Mao]

Made it again last night for the first time in a while.

Chucked in half a small can of tomato paste before adding the water.

Best curry ever made.

Bit off topic.
Beadle earns 30k sterling a month.
Don't you think he shoud invest in a new pot, wok and gas cooker?
Looks like a great curry by the way. Will go for CM's tip and add some tommy paste.

[dotcom]

Beadle was referring to a BKKAndrew remark with his 30,000 sterling a month comment.

Beadle/Tudd is an English teacher.

Cheers for squaring that up.
Anyways. Even if he was on 30k baht a month, he should still invest in some better pots and pans!
Oh. Foodland down Don Muang way are now selling packs of chicken tikka and masala pastes for 30 odd baht for you curry lovers out that way.

[Chairman Mao]

Villa Market Chitlom has some imported Indian Butter Chicken packs too.

Made one last week. Good chunk of butter, fair dollop of cream... was licking the plate like a dog.

[the dogcatcher]

Makro do some ok pastes as well.
Not cheap, but their green is alright.
Personally I make my own green out of the back garden.
But last weekend I had to feed 25 farang, so makro was easier.
