Easy Chicken Curry

I’m completely caffeinated on coffee as I write this. Knew having two cups wasn’t the best idea haha!

The takeaways near me aren’t up to much, so I thought I’d try to create my own Indian feast at the weekends. This chicken curry is yummy and easy to make- a pretty good substitute for a takeaway I think.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
• 6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 3 tbsp medium spice paste (tikka works well)
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 100g Greek yogurt
• 1 small bunch of coriander, leaves chopped
• 50g ground almonds
• naan breads or cooked basmati rice, to serve

Method

• 1. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish or large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and fry for 8-10 mins, or until the onion has turned golden brown and sticky. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for a further minute.
• 2. Chop the chicken into chunky 3cm pieces, add to the pan and fry for 5 mins before stirring through the spice paste and tomatoes, along with 250ml water.
• 3. Bring to the boil, lower to a simmer and cook on a gentle heat uncovered for 25-30 mins or until rich and slightly reduced.
• 4. Stir though the yogurt, coriander and ground almonds, season and serve with warm naan or fluffy basmati rice.
