Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 cm ginger fresh
- 1 cup coconut milk tinned
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 ½ teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoon almond flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon parsley or coriander (cilantro), to garnish
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
Instructions
- To marinate the chicken, add the diced chicken breasts to a bowl together with the yogurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, chilli powder, paprika and garam masala.
- Give everything a good stir for the chicken to be well coated in the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm, and set aside for at least 1 hour.
- Peel and quarter the onion, garlic and ginger, add them to a blender, and blitz well.
- Heat up the oil in a large pan, add the onion mixture and salt, and fry on a low heat until golden.
- Add the tomato puree and bay leaves, and give it another stir.
- In goes the marinated chicken, give it a stir and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the lid on the pan, increase the heat to medium, and leave it to cook for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally, so that the liquid released by the chicken evaporates.
- Add the coconut milk, give it a good stir, and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced into a thicker sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and tossed almond flakes.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- When you use a tin of coconut milk, make sure you use the coconut cream as well, this is usually separated from the milk.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still coat the chicken pieces with the yogurt and spice mixture, but rather than setting it aside, cook straight away.
- Obviously, the longer it marinates, the more flavourful, but sometimes shortcuts are ok, especially on hectic day.
- This dish can be safely frozen to be enjoyed any other time, just make sure you store it into an air-tight container. I usually cook a bit extra and freeze some food, just in case there are days when I am short of time.
