ENJOY YOUR TRADITIONAL CHICKEN CURRY!
Directions
1) Clean the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces with or without the bones in place.
2) Heat a nonstick, deep pan and warm the oil.
3) Saute the onions until golden brown.
4) Add ginger and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
5) Add the curry powder. (Try to buy specific Chicken Curry Powder because the proportion of the spices will be different in each. I prefer Melam Chicken Curry Powder.)
6) Add a few Tbsp of water to the mixture and bring the heat to very low or your paste will burn.
7) Cook until the oil in the mixture start to show through the mixture.
8) Add the chicken pieces and tomatoes and stir.
9) Put a lid over it and let it cook for 5 minutes.
10) Stir the chicken again and add half of the water and simmer it until the oil shows above the curry.
11) Add salt to taste and it's ready to serve.

This will definitely become a regular dinner. My kids ate every last bite! I did add two minced, seeded jalapenos! It was excellent. I have always loved Indian food but this was the best. i did use frozen chicken tenderloin and did not chop them. This made this a super easy, healthy dish! - 1/10/09

The instructions were very badly written: what size onion? when do I add the tomatoes? I love curry dishes but I didn't think this recipe was so great. I would try other recipes first. - 2/25/09
Reply from MILIESANJU (3/8/09)
an average sized onion is approximately 50 calories and people have different attitude to it , some like the taste and smell of it and wouldn't mind it if the recipe has a stronger flavour of the onion. i didn't specify it becoz i believe cooking is an art and it shows individual prefferences.

The photo looks really yummy! Your recipe calls for 2 tbsp of Olive oil which is not in the nutrition data. I wonder what the true fat content would be? Could you please specify which brand and what kind of curry powder you use? I'd like to make it - bought all the ingredients-sitting in the fridge. - 7/12/09

I've been looking for a hearty traditional curry recipe for some time now. This was so easy to make and my friends all loved it! Thank you!
Also, adding 1/2 of a red hot chilli pepper really spices it up a notch :) - 11/16/08

what i do is add peppercorns in the begining and let it crackle and sometimes add dried red chilly into it .

This turned out to be one of the best curries ive made. I struggled getting the oil to come out as the directions say, but it didnt make a difference that i just ignored that step. I didn't have any canned tomatoes at the time, so just used some fresh ones chopped up, and added a load of mushrooms. - 2/9/14

I have tried many curry recipes, and this one comes the closest to what I am hoping for taste-wise without very much oil or fat. In my version I used peanut oil, garam masala plus turmeric (instead of chicken curry powder), and I added chopped carrots. Tasted great with generous portion size. - 6/16/11

My family loved this easy dish! Instead of water, I added a can of diced tomatoes, a small can of tomato sauce and fresh halved mushrooms and let the chicken and mushrooms cook in the sauce. I used ground ginger and this dish proved to be a new weekly meal for us! Thanks for delicious simplicity! - 1/13/10
