Recipe Fijian Chicken Curry

Ingredients :

• 500 grams Chicken thigh on-bone
• 80 grams Ghee
• 1 large Onion
• 1 tsp Cumin seeds (Jeera)
• 1 tsp Black Mustard seeds (Sarso)
• 2 large cubed Potatoes
• 4-5 Fenugreek seeds
• 2-3 baby Chilis
• 5-6 fresh Curry leaves
• 40 g crushed Ginger
• 40 g crushed Garlic
• 2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
• 2 tsp Garam Masala powder
• 1/2 fresh tomato
• Salt to season
• Coriander to garnish
• 350 ml Water
• optional - Coconut milk

Method :

1. In a deep pot, heat 80g og Ghee on high heat.
2. After a few minutes, add the onions. Fry them until the edges begin to brown (this shohld take only a minute or two).
3. Now add the ginger and spice seeds and stir for another minute or two, until the ingredients release a fragrant aroma.
4. Add the meat and the spice powders. Combine all ingredients by working the chicken around vigorously for about 3 to 5 minutes.
5. As to chicken starts to cook, stir in the garlic and lower the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Add 350ml water and bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as the water begins to boil, lower the heat right down, add salt if desired... I use half a tablespoon of salt.. cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes. A long slow low-temp simmer will help develop flavours and let the spices mingle :)
7. Can also add a can of coconut milk or cream to thicken out the curry and make it nice n creamy, especially if the chilis sourced are a bit hot!!
8. Garnish with coriander before serving alongside roti or rice. Enjoy!
