Special Chicken Curry Recipe


Trying to decide what to have for dinner always seems like a constant struggle and I usually end up making something random with whatever I can find in the cupboard. I thought it might be nice to document some of the more palatable experiments in the kitchen and therefore, this is the first recipe I have decided to share after tonight's culinary experiment.

Ingredients Serves 1
1 tsp Tandoori spice blend (or similar)
Lemon juice
1 Chicken portion
1 Clove of garlic
1 Small onion
Coriander (Dried or Fresh)
1 Red pepper
1 small pot of natural yoghurt
Dessicated coconut (optional)
Oil
1 portion of rice or noodles

Method
Cook the rice or noodles according to the instructions on the packet.
Finely chop the onion and garlic and dice the pepper and chicken.
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, add the onion and gently fry on a low heat for 5-10 minutes until they become translucent. Add the garlic and pepper and heat cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the chicken, the tandoori spice blend and a generous splash of lemon juice and cook on a high heat until the chicken is browned on the outside. Add the yoghurt, coriander and optional coconut and simmer on a low heat for approximately 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

My dinner was slightly different to the above because I didn't have any natural yoghurt I used the top layer from a layered strawberry yoghurt hoping that it would be plain. It was plainish but was sweetened yoghurt and had a small hint of strawberry to it but it still tasted pretty good.
