Hiya! Today we will discuss about Chicken Curry (Murgh Kari) Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
    • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
    • 1 tsp water
    • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    • 1 cup plain yogurt
    • 1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 tsp garam masala
    • 1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • I tbsp minced garlic

Directions

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-high and add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tbsp of water into the onion mixture. Allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the tomatoes, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 tbsp salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture. Bring to a boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tbsp cilantro over the chicken. Cover the skillet and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.

Pick & mix noodle plate

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Dip the meat strips into the beaten egg, drain off the excess, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. (I like to use ciabatta as there’s already olive oil in it, so you don’t need to add any.) Place on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins or until crisp and cooked through. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Drain and toss with olive oil and spring onions. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber and the carrot into ribbons. Pile the noodles onto serving plates along with the carrot and cucumber. Put a few chicken or pork strips alongside, and serve with a little pot of hoisin, plum or barbecue sauce for dipping.

Meatballs with pesto mash

Mix the mince with half the chopped basil, the Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning, then use your hands to shape into 16 meatballs. Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the oil, then fry the meatballs, turning, for 5 mins until browned. Tip in the passata and remaining chopped basil. Simmer gently for 10 mins until the meatballs are cooked through. Meanwhile, boil potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain well, then return to the saucepan over a low heat and mash – leaving the heat on will help to dry out the potatoes for a fluffier mash. Stir in the milk, then marble through the pesto. Pile the mash onto 4 plates, spoon over meatballs and serve scattered with the reserved basil.

Moroccan sausage stew

In a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish, heat the oil and brown the sausages with the onions for 10 mins until golden. Add the garlic and spice mix with 75ml water to prevent them from burning, and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Add the dates and tomatoes, mix well, then spread out onto 2 plates to cool before pouring into a freezer bag and freezing for up to 3 months.

To cook from frozen, put the stew into a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish with all but 2 tbsp of the stock. Cover with a lid and gently heat to defrost for 25 mins, stirring occasionally.

Once the stew is fully defrosted, mix the cornflour with the reserved stock and pour into the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins until thickened and piping hot. Serve with mashed potato.
