What's Cooking? Curry...

We have been experiencing some really freezing weather here in Johannesburg lately and to warm us up we like to make delicious curry with wild rice... Together with the curry we also add, (inseparete bowls), some sliced banana, sliced tomato and onion, a small bowl of chutney and a small bowl of dessicated coconut. Sometimes we have poppadoms too!

Recipe:
Olive oil, 1 tbsp
1 onion, chopped up
Leeks, chopped
Chicken fillets, cut into strips
Potatoes, cubed with the skins left on
Mixed Vegetables, 1 cup
Turmeric, 1 tsp
Cumin 1 tsp
1 tin of coconut Milk
Water
Chicken stock, 250 ml
Chutney
Curry powder, 1 tsp
Salt and pepper

Put some olive oil into a pan and cook your onions and leeks, leeks add amazing flavour!
Cut the chicken fillets into strips and add them to the onions, keep stirring until cooked.
Cut up the potatoes with their skins on and boil them in a separate pot until cooked.
Add a teaspoon of turmeric and cumin to the chicken and stir.
Take 250 ml of chicken stock add to it 1 teaspoon of mild curry powder, stir and add to the chicken.
If you would like more liquid add some water.
Add the cooked potatoes to the chicken.
Add the mixed vegetables.
Add the coconut milk and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir.

Let all the ingredients simmer for 20 minutes on a low setting.

While everything is cooking, boil 1 cup of wild rice and make up your separate bowls of chopped tomato and onion, chopped banana, chutney and dessicated coconut...

If your curry is ever too hot, just add a little chutney to the mix and this will cool it down:)

I usually make quite a large quantity and then we have leftovers the following day for lunch. Have you ever noticed how amazing curry tastes the next day.... or is that just me?
Have a lovely day,
Linda
