Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 kg Chicken pieces
100 grams Apricots (dried)
1 tbsp Vinegar
120 ml Water
225 grams Tomatoes (finely diced)
115 grams Onions (ground)
2 tbsp Ghee
8 large Red chillies ((Chilly))
6 cloves Garlic
6 cloves Cloves
1 tsp Cumin seeds ((jeera))
1/2 tsp Sesame seeds ((teel))
6 whole Peppercorns
4 inch Ginger (fresh)
4 whole Cardamoms ((elichi))
2 inch Cinnamon ((dalchini))
1/2 tsp Poppy seeds ((khus khus))
1 tsp Turmeric ((haldi))

Steps:

  • Apricots - Soak apricots in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and chop the apricots. Set aside.Pro tip - we want the apricots to soften and become a paste when added to the curry. So, make sure to soak until thoroughly soft
  • Onions - Pulse the onions in a food processor to a smooth paste - Set aside.
  • Masala - To the same food processor - add all the masala ingredients and blend to a smooth paste
  • Heat the ghee in a heavy bottom saucepan and fry the onions paste on medium-low. Next, add the ground masala and saute well for two more minutesPro tip - we need to masala to cook until it becomes fragrant. So, keep the heat to medium-low and add a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for three minutes more. Then add the chicken and apricots along with the water and vinegar. Season with salt and pepperPro tip- let the tomatoes really soften as they cook so they almost disappear into the sauce.
  • Cover and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving

APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY



Apricot Chicken Curry image

I love apricot juice as the base for this curry dish. Chicken drumsticks are an economical meat option, but any bone-in pieces would do. Hold back on the madras curry and peppers to keep this dish mild and flavorful; adjust upward if you enjoy a lot of heat! Over rice, this is a complete meal.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 chicken drumsticks
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 cups apricot nectar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 cup dried apricots
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1 fresh green chile pepper, minced
½ cup chopped water chestnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is softened and is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the drumsticks in the skillet, and brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring the apricot nectar to a boil in a large pot over medium-high eat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture and curry powder into the apricot nectar. Add dried apricots. Transfer the baked drumsticks into the apricot mixture.
  • Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green bell pepper, carrots, and green chile pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened. Pour the drumsticks and apricot sauce into the skillet. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water chestnuts just before serving.

APRICOT CURRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN



Apricot Curried Rice with Chicken image

A easy & fast recipe I found in "Schoener Essen", a German cooking magazine. German food is often very mild, so if you like things with a little more kick, feel free to experiment with spicier ingredients.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

250 g Minute Rice (amount is for uncooked)
1 large red bell pepper, seeded,cut in 2 cm pieces
1 bunch green onion, in 3 cm long slices
300 g fresh apricots, stoned and quartered
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 700 grams)
salt and pepper, to taste
canola oil (as needed)
4 tablespoons sweet and sour chili sauce
3 -4 teaspoons mild curry powder
200 ml clear vegetable stock
300 g frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Cook rice and keep warm according to package directions.
  • Season chicken breasts with a little salt& pepper to taste.
  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a heated skillet.
  • Add chicken breasts and brown 3 minutes per side, then remove from the pan.
  • Spread chili sauce all over both sides of the chicken.
  • Place chicken into a heavy,ovensafe pan and place in a preheated oven at 200 C on the second rack, and roast for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (the thicker your chicken breasts, the longer it will take).
  • In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, heat another 2 tsp of oil.
  • Saute the green onions and the peppers for about 3 minutes, remove from the pan to a dish.
  • Add another tsp of oil (if needed) and saute the apricots 1-2 minutes, then remove to the same dish as the peppers and the onions.
  • Add another tsp of oil (if needed), and saute the rice and the curry powder, stirring constantly to mix well, for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
  • Return all the sauteed vegetables and the apricots, along with the peas to the pan and cook together until heated.
  • Serve with the chicken.
  • Note*: If you prefer things more spicy, feel free to add some hot curry powder or use spicier chili sauce.
  • In Germany, sweet& sour chili sauce is usually more like the sweet& sour duck sauce you can buy from La Choy in the grocery stores in America- it has little bits of red bell pepper in it.

APRICOT-PISTACHIO CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES



Apricot-Pistachio Chicken Salad Sandwiches image

I ordered an entrée similar to this at the local museum café and liked it so much I decided to make something similar. At the museum it was served as a filling for a sandwich made with lettuce, tomato and thinly sliced red onion. I tend to serve it as a salad during the summer. It's really good on a hot day.

CURRIED CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS



Curried Chicken with Apricots image

Elegant-looking presentation-light, delicate taste, not heavy on the curry. appears to be more work than it actually is -i REALLY like that part. We especially enjoy basmati rice with it. Has become a STANDARD at our house. I got this years ago from the Moroccan "expert" on an old Compuserve food forum. I can almost guarantee enjoyment.
