Indian Chicken Curry is a delicious, aromatic dish that combines tender chicken with a blend of rich, flavorful spices. This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy bold flavors and a touch of heat in their meals. Our version includes wholesome ingredients like sweet potatoes and green beans, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal.
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Trim and cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the 1/3 cup of curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot.
- Add the cup of chicken gravy, the can of canned tomatoes with their juice, and the diced sweet potatoes.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the green beans and simmer uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over steamed rice or with naan bread.
Tips:
- For richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt and a few teaspoons of curry paste for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier curry, add a chopped chili or a teaspoon of chili powder when you sauté the onions.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into smaller chunks to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the curry.
- Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned for a fresher taste; just make sure to peel and chop them finely.
- Add a splash of coconut milk at the end of cooking for a creamier texture and a hint of sweetness.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving for an extra zesty kick.
