Curry chicken
When it comes to comfort foods, few dishes can rival a warm bowl of curry chicken. This hearty dish is packed with flavor and features tender chunks of chicken simmered in a rich, fragrant sauce. While the exact origins of curry chicken are unknown, it is believed to have originated in India or Southeast Asia.
The earliest known mention of curry chicken comes from a British cookbook published in 1747. The book, titled The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, included a recipe for “Currey” which consisted of chicken, mutton, or veal that was stewed with onions, ginger, and a variety of spices.
Over the years, the dish has evolved and been adapted to suit the tastes of different cultures. In Jamaica, for example, curry chicken is often made with a fiery scotch bonnet pepper sauce. In Thailand, the dish is typically served with rice and a variety of vegetables.
Advice
When making curry chicken, it is important to start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger and garlic, and spices like cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. This will give the chicken a lot more flavor. Next, sauté the onions and garlic in oil until golden brown before adding the marinated chicken and stirring in the curry paste. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes. To finish, add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, potatoes, or zucchini, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp. Finally, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve over steamed rice or quinoa.
