Friday 5 September - Goan Chicken Curry

Having made and frozen all that curry sauce last week, the time arrived to use some of it.

We decided on a different curry this week that we hadn't tried before - Goan Chicken Curry, which had the addition of coconut.

First stage was to cook the chicken in the green curry cubes. I used both lots of sauce straight from the freezer and didn't bother to thaw them out.

The green curry sauce cubes were added to some oil and turmeric, and cooked for a few minutes.

Then cubed raw chicken was cooked in this paste for around 20 minutes until cooked through.

For the main sauce first some whole spices were ground up - cumin, coriander, fenugreek, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorns

This spice powder was fried and then salt, chilli and paprika were added along with the frozen tomato sauce.

This was cooked for a few minutes until thickened, and then coconut cream was added.

Finally, the cooked chicken and some tamarind went in and it was all warmed through.

We also served some vegetable dishes with this - Mustard Seed Potatoes and Lentils, and also Garlic Rice and Parathas
