Quick Easy Chicken Curry


serves:
2

preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 30 mins

The first recipe I'm going to share with you is a very easy chicken curry I made a couple of days ago (and ate again yesterday). I cook curries quite a lot mostly because they are amazingly simple to do and you can easily make two meals out of it and save some for the next day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1 Tin of concentrated tomato soup
  • milk
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato puree
  • medium curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 2 chillies (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of cooking oil

Method:

1. First slice the chicken breasts into medium sized chunks and totally coat them with curry powder, also add the turmeric and coriander. Allow the chicken to stand for at least 5 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan (make sure it has a lid) on a medium heat, add the chicken to the pan with finely sliced chillies (if you have chosen to include them) and fry until chicken has browned.

3. Add the entire tin of soup along with the tomato puree then refill the empty soup can with milk and pour into the saucepan.

4. Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed then place lid on saucepan and leave for about 15- 20 minutes stirring regularly.

5. Serve on a bed of basmati rice. Enjoy :)

Tips

If you like your curries hot like i do then try using a hot curry powder to give it a bit more of a kick but be careful, don't go overboard!

It's always nice to have a bit of naan bread with this dish, you can buy packaged naan from any supermarket just sprinkle a bit water on it so it doesn't dry out and grill for a couple of minutes each side before serving.
