House Curry Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the base

    In a large pot or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Incorporate spices

    Add the Malayu curry powder to the mixture and stir well, cooking for another minute to release the flavors.

  4. 4

    Cook the chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot, stirring to coat them in the curry mixture. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  5. 5

    Add tomatoes and coconut milk

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  7. 7

    Final touches

    Add the sliced green chili and salt to taste. Stir well and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped fresh coriander before serving. Serve hot with rice or bread.
