    Easy Boneless Chicken Curry

    Chicken Curry is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. 

    It is generally made with chicken that is cooked in an onion and tomato based curry sauce.

    It is flavoured with ginger, garlic, chilli and ground spices such as coriander, cumin and turmeric. It is also sometimes flavoured with whole spices that are heated in oil.

    Ingredients and Substitutions 

    Boneless Chicken Thighs - Cut into chunks. You can also use breast.

    Oil -There is a lot of oil in this recipe to give the best possible flavour. You can reduce this down to 2 - 3 tbsp.

    Whole Spices - Bay Leaves, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Peppercorns, Cloves. You can skip these if you are short on time and add 1 tsp of Garam Masala when you add the Curry Powder at the end.

    Onions - 3 sliced onions are used in this recipe. These need to be cooked till they are a deep golden brown.

    Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilli - Fresh, Frozen or store brought pastes.

    Ground Spices - Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Curry Powder, Kashmiri Chilli Powder.

    Dry Fenugreek - Or use a small handful of chopped fresh Fenugreek.

    Tomato - tinned Plum Tomatoes or Pasta.

    Salt

    💭 EXPERT TIPS

    Chicken - You can use boneless chicken breast instead of thighs in this recipe. It will cook in a shorter amount of time.

    Fresh Tomatoes - You can use fresh tomatoes instead. 2 large tomatoes should work. 

    Cooking - The secret to a goo curry is to give it time. Cooking down the onions, spices and tomatoes for a good amount of time enhances their flavour and makes for the most delicious curry. You will know when it is ready because the oil will separate from the curry at the sides and at the top and the curry will have a shiny appearance. 

    🥗 HOW TO SERVE

    The best side dishes for a boneless chicken curry are some sort of flatbread like roti/chapatti, naan, paratha, tandoori roti or rice.

    You can serve it alongside a vegetarian side such as Aloo Palak or Okra Fries.

    Storage Suggestions

    Boneless Chicken Curry will keep well in the fridge for 4-5 days in an air tight container in the fridge.  To reheat add a couple of tablespoons of water, place in the microwave or heat in a pot over medium low heat till warmed through.

    It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
