Provided by Julumkana

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 -5 lbs chicken
2 onions
10 garlic cloves (lesun)
1 tablespoon ginger (adrak)
2 serrano peppers
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (sarso)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed (jeera)
1 cinnamon stick (dalchini)
4 -5 cardamom (elaichi)
2 -3 cloves (lavang)
5 -6 curry leaves (tej pati)
3 tablespoons garam masala
1 tablespoon turmeric (haldi)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup fresh coriander (dhania)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (400 ml) can chicken stock (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop chicken into bit size stewing pieces.
  • Finely chop 1 onion and slice the other onion and set aside.
  • Combine garlic, serrano chillies, ginger in mortar and pestle and pound until it becomes a paste. Add 1 teaspoon salt to help make paste and so garlic doesn't fly away on you. You can also use a blender, but i find the mortar and pestle makes it more pasty without wasting any flavour from garlic.
  • Add garam masala, turmeric and some water to the garlic paste and mix to make a curry paste and set aside.Should be a runny consistency.
  • Heat canola oil in stewing pot.
  • Add cinnamon stick, mustard seed, cloves, cardamon seeds with shells removed and cummin to pot. Stir until seeds pop.
  • Add curry leaves. Watch out for oil splatter.
  • Add finely chopped onions and cook until well browned but do not burn. (The more brown, the more flavor).
  • Add curry paste and stir for a few minutes until garlic is well browned. Should be a nice yellowish color.
  • Add chicken and half of sliced onion and a punch of salt. If you are adding chicken stock later on, add less salt.
  • Stir and let cook until water comes out of chicken.
  • Cook until water evaporates and fry the chicken until slightly browned approximately 20 minutes for fryer chicken, longer for stewing or freerange.
  • Stir in remaining sliced onion.
  • If adding chicken stock add it now and bring to boil. This is great for when you have a cold. This is Indo-fijian chicken soup for the soul.
  • If you are health conscious, at this point i usually remove the excess fat that floats on top of the curry. Up to you if you want to leave it in, more flavor.
  • Add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Remove from heat.
  • Serve over rice. Enjoy! ;-).

TOP 20 MOST POPULAR FOODS IN FIJI - CHEF'S PENCIL

From chefspencil.com
  • Curry Vakalolo (with Coconut Cream) Mud Crabs. This delicacy, although not uniquely Fijian as varieties are cooked throughout the South East Asia and Pacific regions, comes in at number one due to its overall popularity in Fiji.
  • Purini (Pudding) This is a local version of the traditional English steamed pudding; the main difference being that the Fijian version uses thick coconut milk instead of dairy milk and typically is a bit heavier in terms of texture and consistency.
  • Kokoda (Raw Fish) More similar to the Peruvian Ceviche than the Hawaiian Poke, this Fijian delicacy is found in many high-end restaurants and hotels as an entrée or even main course.
  • Lovo Food. Very popular for feasts, a lovo is a traditional Fijian method of cooking using an underground (or buried) oven with hot stones. Typical food cooked in a lovo are root vegetables – whole taro or cassava; meat– marinated pork, whole chicken, and even fish; and palusami (taro leaves wrapped in a parcel with coconut cream, onions and optionally meat).
  • Fresh Goat Curry. My absolute favorite curry is goat. Freshly slaughtered goat is a delicacy and fairly pricey when served in high-end restaurants. This gamey meat, like lamb or mutton, is an acquired taste but with the spiciness of the curry ingredients and skilled slow cooking produces a mouthwatering spicy meat curry with all the flavors and umami.
  • Vakalolo. This popular sweet can be eaten as a dessert or on its own. The different provinces have their own unique recipes although the main ingredients are usually taro or cassava with cassava starch, rich coconut cream, and brown sugar.
  • Mangoes in Season. Very popular with locals and tourists alike, when in season there are literally boxes of ripe mangoes of all varieties, colors, shapes, and sizes with one common denominator – their delicious fleshy sweetness.
  • Fresh Duck Curry. In Fiji, this Indian delicacy has become a firm favorite and is a welcome addition to any feast or event. “Fresh” refers to the freshly butchered meat, not frozen, and many Indo-Fijian households prepare this for special occasions, even purchasing the specially bred ducks from farms prior to the event.
  • Kai Vakalolo (Mussels in Coconut Milk) Kai (freshwater mussels) are plentiful in the many Fijian rivers and used in many different ways – plain soup, curried, or fried.
  • Vakasikera (Shredded Cabbage with Fish in Coconut Milk) This popular dish from the Lau province (with Tongan influence) is a favorite at many events or just as a simple home-cooked meal.
