My first attempt to make an Indian chicken curie from scratch.
I love Indian food but because so many ingredients are used it's just easier to go out and get it somewhere.
But I felt like trying to make one today.
I looked up a recipe online that looked decent and went to the shop with Bianca to go and get all the stuff.
It turned out that ingredient wise this recipe was probably the most complex I ever made but it was one of the easiest to prepare.
If you are wondering why I'm pointing to an empty pan...well...that's because for the first time ever I forget to take a picture of me with the food.
And by the time I realized it everything was gone!
It was yummy.
Now I understand that this probably is not the most authentic curry in the world so if any of you guys have any improvements, I'll gladly hear it.
Let's cook.
I don't think I ever used so many prep dishes. Ingredients: Crushed garlic, onion, curry powder, cinnamon powder, paprika powder, bay leaf, grated fresh ginger, sugar, chicken breasts, tomato paste, yogurt, coconut milk, cayenne pepper.
Get a skillet or a large pot and put in some oil and fry onions until lightly brown.
Next step is to dump in all the ingredients on the right, quickly one by one! And stir! for 2 minutes. (garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, paprika, bay leaf, ginger, sugar)
The kitchen filled up with an amazing smell of all the spices! After 2 minutes of stirring it looked like this.
Next step is to add the rest of the ingredients, minus the cayenne pepper. (chicken, tomato paste, yogurt, and coconut milk)
I stirred everything together and then it looked like this. It had to simmer for 25 minutes.
25 minutes gave me plenty of time to clean the massive amount of prep dishes that I used and I also cooked some rice. 25 minutes later I added the cayenne pepper to the dish and let it simmer some more for 5 minutes.
End result. I was so happy with the way I served the rice, but Bianca called it tacky :). Anyway, it tasted great! A lot of flavors and some good heat. For a first try, there was nothing wrong with this! But I have to be honest when I go out to get it, it's better...the flavors are way deeper and more complex when the pro's make it. Still, it was fun to try something new tonight!

Wow thats delicious :) Indian food is one of the best! I visited India before and tried different dishes there, Yummy!
Next time try to make Fish curry. It is very delicious and my favorite curry :)
Good work! You made me hungry now!
Wow!! Sir @exyle. You are great. Excellent cooking. My son loves chicken very much. I cook always many different ways for more tasty. Now I have got the new recipe. This is your's recipe. I will try it today must.
Your decoration is awesome. White rice with chicken curie. Bianca is right but though it is tacky, it's taste will be awesome. Thank you @exyle sir for sharing the delicious recipe :)
Alright no, more tacky rice! :)
Hey exyle,
Just for some information it's called Murgh Makhni in India.
A quick tip also grind the ingredients after cooking on medium heat for a while then strain them,then put on heat the strained masala add curd and chicken in between.lastly served it with some dried fenugreek powder and heavy cream.
Oh, yes, fresh ground spices are so much better than powder. It adds to the cooking time, but certainly makes a difference! I've been doing Thai green curries recently, grinding up fresh galangal, garlic, chili, lemongrass, and basil all together - so much better than the pre-mixed pastes!
Thanks for the tips and the name of the dish!

Good thing you love it, buddy! It's an excellent plate... Greetings :)
Just like most of the food posts you normally make, this one is also quite exceptional. I like the way you broke down the preparation process in a detailed manner, such that it looks quite so simple. I would love to try this. I hope another type of pepper can be used asides the canyenne pepper?
Looks nice. I do the same at home and make always a huge amount of the paste since this is a lot of work. I freeze the paste in small portions and it is then really easy to do a curry from scratch. Just add vegetables and coconut milk. The best one I have ever eaten. 😊
Great tip about the freezing of the paste. That would save a ton of work in prep time.
