Indian Chicken Curry

Two years ago I posted an Indian Chicken Curry recipe, but my blogging back then was quite sloppy. This curry I just made, while similar to the one from two years ago, smells and taste phenomenal so I thought I would do a new post.

Ingredients:
1-2 tsp vegetable oil
half a large white onion, diced
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 clove of garlic
3-4 tbs of Pataks Curry Paste (can add more to taste after)
1/2-1 fresh tomato, diced
1 large carrot, peeled and cut up into rounds
2 small stocks of broccoli, cut into florets
10-15 mini red potatoes (depends on how mini they are!), cut into 1/2 or 1/4
1/2-3/4 can crushed tomatoes
3-4 tbs coconut milk (can add more to taste after)
1/2 cup chicken broth (optional if it seems too thick)
hand full chopped cilantro


In a large pan/pot... okay I used a wok, put in vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add diced onions. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add chicken (raw). Stir occasionally until chicken begins to brown. Add crushed garlic. Cook for a minute. Add Pataks Curry Paste. Stir and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Add diced tomato, carrot, broccoli and potatoes. Stir around covering everything in the curry paste. Add crushed tomatoes (making sure it covers most if not all of everything in the pot). Add coconut milk and stir. If it seems too thick or not enough sauce, add chicken broth. Add handful of chopped cilantro and stir. Cover and cook for 25-35 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Now taste it and add salt, pepper or spice if desired. I used a little cayenne pepper to add some spice.

Serve with rice! Yum yum yum. The above serves 4 people (or two people plus lunches!!).
