Number Of Ingredients 23

1 lb chicken, cubed
1 onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 finely chopped cayenne chili
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 inches gingerroot, grated
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons roughly chopped coriander leaves (may substitute coriander seeds-2 tbls.)
1 tablespoon whole coriander leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 coconut, grated (approx. 1-2 cup)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tomatoes, blanched peeled,cored and quartered
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
4 green cardamom pods, seeds from
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Make a paste of the curry powder and chilli powder with a little water.
  • Fry the onion until translucent in the veg oil then add the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir fry on medium for a further 5 minutes.
  • Add the curry and chilli powder paste and stir in and fry for a further 30 secs.
  • Add the chicken pieces and seal well on all sides.
  • Add half the Massalla Gravy, coconut and coconut milk and simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked, stirring constantly.
  • If needed add more massalla gravy and water to prevent the curry becoming too thick or dry.
  • Now add the finely chopped coriander leaves (or seeds) and cook for a further minute.
  • Serve with the whole coriander leaves sprinkled over the top (if using).
  • Massalla Gravy: Fry the onion, tomatoes and garlic in the oil on a medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent and the tomatoes are beginning to go mushy (Approx. 10 Mins).
  • Add half the water and simmer for 5 minutes then add the rest of the water and spices.
  • Stir in well and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • Keep stirring regularly throughout cooking.
  • Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly before pureeing in a food processor.
  • Enjoy!
