we have a lovely healthy one we do, from Floyds India book. It's the Chicken Murgh?? I think in the book if you have it.

It's basically, lots of fresh tomatoes, a tin of, red onion, garlic, fresh ginger, chiles - I think some curry powder then fresh coriander and garam masala a the end.

We usually put some spinach in at the end too. So very healthy -well apart fro the rice, naan and sides we have with it :laughing: :laughing:

can pm the recipe if you like!

[The Juggler]

right here we go. a really tasty and healthy chicken curry. You are supposed to make with chicken on the bone but we usually use cubed chicken breasts.

MURGH MASALA
============

oil OR ghee (depends how healthy you want)
2 rd onions
4 or 5 red tomas chooped
1 whole chicken or equivalent (to serve 4)
pinch salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
handful of chopped fresh coriander (i keep my bunch in the freezer and crunch what I want in each time)
1 teaspoon garam masala


MALASA INGREDIENTS
1 or 2 greenchhilles chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 inch f root ginger peeled and grated
1/2 taspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (leave out or exchange for the chilles if you don't like too hot).

- Mix the masala ingredients together in a bown with no liquid
- heat oil and saute onions until brown
- stir in tomatoes and cook gently until there is a rich inion and tomato
gravy, asdd the masala ingredients and stir (it's nice if you use a hand
blender at this stage too.
- stir in chicken and cook gently until any liquid that comes from the meat is
absorbed into the gravy. continue cooking until mixture is thick/dryish

Season with salt, add sugar and cover chicken with water. Brign to boil then simmer gently until chicken is cooked.

Before serving sprinkle with chopped coriander and the garam masala (we sometimes add spinach at this point to make a saag dish).

Enjoy!

Home Made Chicken Curry

I make this curry paste to my own recipe, it's cheaper than shop bought jars and you know exactly what has gone into it, especially what sort of oil - it's a medium curry flavour, if you want it hotter add more chilli.

You could add other meats or vegetables of your choice - you would need to adjust cooking times though.

Ingredients:

* 3 chicken breasts - cubed
* 1 onion - chopped
* 1 red or green pepper sliced (optional)
* 1 portion of home made curry paste (see below)
* 1 large (14 oz) can tinned plum tomatoes - chopped - to chop them just chop with a sharp knife while still in tin.
* 150g Basmati Rice
* quarter tsp of turmeric powder if you want yellow rice (optional)
* 1 tsp salt
* 3 tbsp Olive Oil

Home made curry paste:

* 1 Tbsp Curry Powder
* Quarter tsp each of - Turmeric, Corriander, Cumin, Paprika, Cayenne powders.
* 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
* 1 tsp 'lazy chilli' This is available in a jar from most supermarkets, it is good as it keeps well and you don't get the chilli on your fingers! if not available use one finely chopped red chilli)
* 1Tbsp Tomato Puree
* Enough Olive Oil to mix to a paste

Method:

Mix all the curry paste ingredients into a paste using olive oil, it should be a thick paste.

Fry the chopped onion and pepper (if used) in the olive oil until onion is golden.

Add the curry paste to the onion and peppers in the pan and mix well, then add the chicken cubes and stir fry until sealed.

stir in the tin of tomatoes

Bring to the boil, stir, then simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

Bring a large pan of water to the boil so that is it ready approx. 10 minutes before the end of the curry time (need not be exact as the curry will keep warm)

Add the basmati rice, turmeric (if used) and salt to the pan and bring back to the boil, stir, simmer for approx. 10 mins or until the rice is cooked to your liking.

Serve curry and rice with naan bread - cold or warmed under grill.
