A recipe for making flavorful curry chicken served with soft roti bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- For Roti: 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water (approx)
- 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the marinated chicken to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides.
- Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- While the curry simmers, prepare the roti. In a bowl, mix the flour.
- Gradually add warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
- Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 6 inches wide).
- Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook each roti for about 1-2 minutes per side, until light brown spots appear and it puffs up slightly.
- Serve the curry chicken hot with the freshly made roti.
Notes
- You can add chopped potatoes or carrots to the curry for extra vegetables.
- For softer roti, brush each cooked roti lightly with ghee or oil and stack them while keeping them covered.
