Creamy curry part 2

[andyjevs]

Many thanks to all those that helped in my previous thread. Well today i took the plunge and i must admit, it tastes awesome.

Here's how i did it and what i used. All ingredients and amounts are approx and any can be removed and ones of your own added.

2 chicken breasts, diced
1 pepper, thinly sliced
1 red onion, sliced
handful chopped mushrooms
half small tin pineapple

500 g natural yoghurt
100g coconut milk
100 cream (i used single but i'm sure any would do)

Spices....about half tsp of each
garam masala
Corriander
Cumin
5 spice
mild curry powder
turmeric

approx 1cm fresh ginger cut up finely
4 garlic cloves cut finely.
Curry paste (i used tandori)

In some ghee or oil, add the chicken, peppers, mushrooms, onion and all spices to a wok and stir fry for a couple of minutes.

Once hot, add the yoghurt, Curry paste, pineapple and coconut milk and bring to the boil.
Gently simmer for up to an hour until the sauce has reduced making sure it's stirred (and tasted !!!) quite often.

Just before everything is to your satisfaction, add the cream and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

I added a bit of sugar to sweeten...some may not need it. Lemon juice could also be added and chillies put in to give it a kick.

Everything was trial and error and you really can add or take away what you want.

Good luck

Oh Andyjevs - shame on you publishing something as delicious like this on the day I start my diet. It will have to wait a while. On the other hand, if I leave out the cream and substitute some yoghourt ..............!

You put curry paste, curry powder, 5 spice and garam masala in the same dish? I cant even imagine how that tasted. Can you descibe it?
