Light tasty Mauritian chicken curry

Curries come in all different forms...hot and spicy, sweet and sour, mild and sweet etc etc...the styles of cooking just one curry like a 'vindaloo' can have so many variations!  

This is a simple Mauritian curry and is so simple yet tastes so good. It doesn't have a lot of spices therefore is quite light and great for children and adults alike.

 

So here's how....

You'll need chicken. Either one small baby chicken jointed or two large chicken breast cut into chunks.

1 onion diced small

3tbsp sunflower oil

1 clove garlic minced

1 small thumb size ginger crushed (tip: use a blender to crush the ginger and garlic)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tin plum tomato crushed

Fresh coriander to garnish

Method: 

1)Sauté onion in a large pot till caramelised in oil 

2)Add the ginger and garlic. Then add the spices.

3) Add the tomato and the chicken and allow to cook.

4) Garnish with coriander and serve with steaming basmati rice.

Make sure you add water for the chicken to cook and then allow the sauce to thicken.

Optional: add 1/2 tsp red chilly powder for a kick and even try adding baby potatoes (my kids love them in this curry)

I hope you enjoy this recipe...
