Simple Sweet And Mild Curry Blend Recipes

SWEET CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a pot, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil (Chicken should be skinned). Generously sprinkle curry powder on meat (commercial preparations are fine on their own or cut with some homemade).
• Mix your stock and thickener in a cup.
• Add stock mixture, coconut milk and cream to the chicken.
• If you don't want to break the bank over one meal, forage in your refrigerator for any questionable vegetables you want to use up and start dicing potatoes and throw them in now.
• Season to taste. Simmer for at least 10 minutes- thickening your sauce to desired consistency, though feel free to torment your family and/or guests by cooking this for a few hours.
• Serve with rice, thick pita bread, salad and your fave condiments.
• Suggested condiments include corn kernels, peanuts (or other nuts), raisins, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced banana in lemon or lime juice, sliced cucumber in yoghurt (or in a cream dressing- we like garlic), dried coconut, raisins and other dried fruits, and chutney.

SIMPLE, SWEET AND MILD CURRY BLEND

Steps:

• Combine all ingrediendts, and store in a glass or plastic container with a tight fitting lid.
• **Note:I crush my fennel seeds in a mortal and pestle, but it you place the seeds in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin, it works just as well.
• This recipe makes"just about" 1/4 cup of spice.

MILD CURRY POWDER

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine cumin, coriander, turmeric, red pepper flakes, mustard seed, and ginger. Process to a fine powder. Store in an airtight container.

MILD COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, curry paste, and garlic and saute until onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Make sure to mix well. Add chicken breasts, water, and russet potato. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sweet potato and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and toss to coat with oil. Cook, tossing frequently, until potatoes start to brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Set potatoes aside.
• Add coconut milk, carrot, turmeric, sugar, soy sauce, and remaining sea salt to the pan. Stir and return to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice and season with additional salt, if desired.
• Serve curry with a scoop of sweet potatoes on top of jasmine rice.

FAMILY MEALS: MILD CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan. Fry the onions gently for 5 - 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, mustard seeds, garam masala and cumin and cook for 1 - 2 min allowing the aromas to release.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins over a gentle heat, flipping occasionally and making sure the spices don't catch. Pour in around 300 ml boiling water until almost covering. Stir in the stock cube and cinnamon stick. Simmer for around 45 mins - 1 hour with the lid off so there is a small amount of thickened sauce at the bottom of the pan. Remove the cinnamon stick.
• Stir in the yogurt and sultanas, heat through gently and serve. Scatter with coriander, if using.
