Categories     Mains     Chicken     Indian     Curry

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cloves of garlic
1-2 fresh red chillies
5 cm ginger
2 onions
groundnut oil, or vegetable oil
1 cinnamon stick
2 fresh bay leaves
12 green cardamom pods
6 skinless higher-welfare chicken thighs, (500g)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 pinch of ground cloves
1 heaped teaspoon ground cumin
1 heaped teaspoon ground coriander
4 ripe tomatoes
100 g low-fat natural yoghurt, plus extra to serve
½ a bunch of fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Peel the garlic and deseed the chillies, then roughly chop and place into a pestle and mortar.
  • Bash to a rough paste with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Peel, finely chop and add the ginger, then bash to break it down. Peel and finely chop the onions.
  • Drizzle a lug of oil into a large non-stick pan over a medium heat, add the cinnamon, bay and cardamom, stir for 1 minute, then add the onions. Reduce the heat slightly and fry for 15 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.
  • Chop the chicken into 2.5cm chunks and add to the pan. Turn the heat up to medium, fry for a few minutes, then stir in the chilli paste. Cook for 2 minutes, add the remaining spices and mix well.
  • Halve and roughly chop the tomatoes, then stir them into the pan.
  • Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for around 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and broken down.
  • Add the yoghurt and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced.
  • Pick, finely chop and stir in most of the coriander leaves, season to taste, then serve with a homemade naan, brown rice, a dollop of yoghurt and the remaining coriander leaves scattered on top.

HEALTHIER CHICKEN BALTI

A lighter version of the Indian takeaway classic from Angela Nilsen, this tomato-based curry is packed with extra spinach and peppers

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 22

450g skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp paprika
¼ tsp hot chilli powder
1½ tbsp sunflower or groundnut oil
1 cinnamon stick
3 cardamom pods, split
1 small to medium green chilli
½ tsp cumin seed
1 medium onion, coarsely grated
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
2½ cm-piece ginger, grated
½ tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala
250ml organic passata
1 red pepper, deseeded, cut into small chunks
1 medium tomato, chopped
85g baby spinach leaves
handful fresh coriander, chopped
chapatis or basmati rice, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a medium bowl. Mix in the lime juice, paprika, chilli powder and a grinding of black pepper (step 1), then leave to marinate for at least 15 mins, preferably a bit longer.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick wok or sauté pan. Tip in the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, whole chilli and cumin seeds, and stir-fry briefly just to colour and release their fragrance (step 2). Stir in the onion, garlic and ginger and fry over a medium-high heat for 3-4 mins until the onion starts to turn brown. Add the remaining oil, then drop in the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 mins or until it no longer looks raw. Mix the turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and garam masala together. Tip into the pan, lower the heat to medium and cook for 2 mins (step 3). Pour in the passata and 150ml water, then drop in the chunks of pepper. When starting to bubble, lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 mins or until the chicken is tender.
  • Stir in the tomato, simmer for 2-3 mins, then add the spinach and turn it over in the pan to just wilt. Season with a little salt. If you want to thin down the sauce, splash in a little more water. Remove the cinnamon stick, chilli and cardamom pods, if you wish, before serving. Scatter with fresh coriander and serve with warm chapatis or basmati rice, if you like.
