Dad's Chicken Curry

One of our '5 meals, 1 chicken' recipes!

1 brown onion

2 garlic cloves, crushed

Chicken thigh meat, cubed, enough for four portions (we often used two thighs, plus a little of the breast meat)

1 tsp each of Cumin, Tumeric, Coriander, Ginger and Mild Curry Powder (bit of chilli powder or flakes for some heat)

Tin of chopped tomatoes

A handful of sultanas and dessicated coconut

3 tsp of brown sugar, or to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

---

Soften onions and garlic in olive oil.

Add chicken and fry until sealed

Add all spices and cook for a couple of minutes

Add the brown sugar, tomatoes and half a tin of water and simmer for a few minutes

Add sultanas and coconut

(if you were using cold cooked chicken instead of raw meat, you would add it now and heat through thoroughly in the sauce)

Season to taste

---

Serve with rice and all the usual accompanyments:

Sultanas

Toasted coconut

Slice bananas (bit retro but yum!)

Finely diced red onion

Raita

Mango chutney

Lime pickle

---

As a low carb alternative to rice, serve with plain cauliflower rice or cauliflower pilaf.
