Home-Styled Chicken Curry

Ingredients

3 Pieces (about 600g) Chicken Breast (skinless), cut into chunks

6 Yellow Flesh Potatoes, boiled, peeled, and cut into chunks
8 Hard-Boiled Eggs, peeled
1 Large Yellow Onion, chopped
3 Sprigs Curry Leaves
400 ml Coconut Milk
2 Cups Chicken Stock

Sea Salt to taste
Peanut Oil for cooking

Curry Powder
4 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 ½ tsp Ground Turmeric
4 tsp Aniseed Powder
4 Tbsp Ground Coriander
1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
2 ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon

Method


Combine the chili powder, turmeric, aniseed, coriander, cumin, pepper, and cinnamon. Remove 2 tablespoon of the curry powder and season the chicken chunks with a little sea salt. Add 6 tablespoons of water into the curry powder, mix well to form a paste.

In a heavy pot, heat the oil and add the chopped yellow onion, together with the curry leaves. Cook until the onions are lightly brown in color. 

Add the curry paste, and cook until they are fragrant. Mix in the marinated chicken and cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked. 

Add the coconut milk with 2 cups of water. Bring the curry sauce to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, add the eggs and potatoes and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. Season the curry with sea salt and serve warm or at room temperature.

    3. Is Chili Powder = cayenne powder?

    4. Cayenne pepper is less spicy compared to chili powder used in this recipe.

  7. I love the look and simplicity of the dish. I have all the ingredients in my larder, aside from the aniseed powder - but I reckon if I grind some fennel seeds that should work! Definitely one to try in 2013.

  8. The photo of that bowl of chicken curry really takes me back to the motherland, though I don't think I've ever had it with hardboiled eggs. I don't think I've ever seen aniseed powder in the shops here. Is there another suitable substitute for that ingredient?

    1. Fennel seeds might be a good substitute if you can't find aniseed.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
