today , I'm gonna show you how to make a basic quick and easy chicken curry ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes .
Hi , I'm Nicky .
Welcome back to our kitchen , where we show you how to make delicious family friendly recipes .
We love a good curry in our house , and today I'm gonna show you how to make a simple curry that anyone can prepare and it's on the table .
In super quick time , we're gonna start by heating two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat .
Now , if you're serving this curry with rice , now's a good time to get that rice onto the boil .
I'm serving this curry for four people , so I'm using three chicken breasts that have been cut into bite size pieces .
If you want to serve it to more or fewer people , this recipe also scales really well .
Now add the chicken to the pan , cook for five minutes , turning occasionally , until seas .
Add a diced onion to the pan and cook for five minutes , stirring until the onion starts to soften and becomes translucent .
Next in goes two teaspoons of mince ginger and two cloves of minced garlic .
Now we're going to layer up the flavours of this curry with some spices .
I've got two tablespoons of mild curry powder here , but you can go hotter if you prefer a tablespoon of ground coriander , half a tablespoon of ground cumin , a teaspoon of paprika , half a teaspoon of cinnamon , salt and pepper .
Add that to the pan .
Stir together and cook for a further minute now , adding two tablespoons of tomato puree , a 400 gramme or 14 ounce tin of chopped tomatoes , 240 mil or a cup of chicken stock and 400 gramme or 14 ounce tin of full fat coconut milk .
Bring that to a gentle bubble and then simmer .
Gently .
Stir it occasionally for 10 minutes , until the chicken is cooked through .
After 10 minutes of cooking , check on the thickness of your curry and if you'd like it to be a little bit thicker , you can stir in a cornflower slurry using one tablespoon of corn flour and two tablespoons of cold water mixed together .
This is optional .
You can leave it out if the thickness is to your liking .
Once that chicken is cooked through .
We want to stir in about 60 grammes or two packed cups of baby spinach and then turn off the heat .
Serve the curry with boiled rice topped with fresh coriander or cilantro and chilli flakes if you want that extra kick of heat .
And that's how you make a quick and easy chicken curry , a family favourite perfect for any night of the week .
