Chicken Curry

A really tasty chicken and potato curry that looks complicated but isn't. The result is a thick curry, not a runny saucey one. Serves 2 on it's own, or add naan bread or roti and rice to pad out for 4.
Ingredients
- 1 onion, roughly chopped shopping list
- 2 chicken breasts, diced shopping list
- 1lb waxy potatoes, cubed shopping list
- 1oz butter or ghee or rice bran oil shopping list
- 3 cardamom pods shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (or 2 tsp minced garlic) shopping list
- 1 inch ginger root, grated (or 1 tsp minced ginger) shopping list
- 2 chilli pods, finely chopped (to taste - use as much or as little as you want) shopping list
- 2 tsp cumin powder shopping list
- 1 tsp turmeric powder shopping list
- 2 bay leaves shopping list
- handful fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped shopping list
- 1 small tin coconut milk (or use coconut powder - enough for about 4 fl. oz.) shopping list
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Boil potatoes in some salted water
- sweat off onions in the butter in a large frypan (I use a wok) over medium heat
- add chicken in batches to prevent cooling
- once chicken is nearly done add all the other ingredients except the coconut milk and continue to fry for five minutes, stirring to prevent sticking
- drain potatoes and add to frypan (reserve some water)
- add coconut milk, coriander, pepper (lots!) and salt (not lots!)
- cook off over low heat to combine flavours - up to 30 minutes, the longer the better
- add some of the reserved potato water if curry gets too dry
- you can substitute the potato with cauliflower, squash, pumpkin, kumara and/or whatever takes your fancy.
- Take out bay leaves before serving! The cardamom pods are a taste explosion but can be left to one side!
