How to make a lovely creamy chicken curry ?

Question

Hi I have some medium curry paste but when I have been making my curry it has been a low fat one and it says to add natural yougurt and I dont like this as it makes it taste to sour, do you really need the yougurt and if not what do I add to the paste to make it thick and creamy as I love my curry but think if I just add water to the paste it will be too watery and not taste right.

Any recipes would be great, and any advice.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can just put sour cream and milk (full fat), that's what I do.  Although I use curry powder rather than paste.  The site www.taste.com.au has different curry recipes...just substitute whatever paste they say for your own.

Answer 2

creamy curry

To start with, you need the basic ingredients:

this is a creamy rich garlicky chicken curry that serves 2 people or so (ish).

And remember they're approximate- with different curries you can alter these ingredients (see below for my personal preferences)

2 medium sized onions, chopped

2 sticks of cassia bark You can get these in supermarkets now

1 teaspoon of fennel seeds

2 bay leaves

6 large cloves of garlic

2 heaped teaspoons of grated ginger

1/2 kg or 1 lb of chicken b*****s, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

2 heaped teaspoons of turmeric

1 heaped teaspoon of ground coriander

1 heaped teaspoon of garam masala

2 tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste

3-4 generous teaspoons of salt (to taste)

Fresh chilis or chilipowder or even paprika (to taste)

A tablespoon of plain yoghurt

Chopped, fresh coriander

Half a cup of double cream

Answer 3

hiya

have you tried

coconut milk, half fat cream, using milk instead of water to make the paste or a natural yoghurt flavoured with honey

i use the value jars from the supermarket and put all sorts of veggies, raisins, fruit, beans etc in to make it stretch but we only like it mild so i use the above

hope this helps

Hey

Throw out that curry paste stuff and go with Indian Curry masala powder.

Now first pan fry some sliced onions, potato squares and a bit of carrot.

Once alost done, add masala and fresh garlic and fry a little more. Then add the meat, beef, chicken or mutton and turn down heat to simmer.

Add water if you must.

Simmer until meat is soft.

Serve on a bed of rice.

Answer 7

Things You’ll Need:

    * Chicken 400gms (boneless or boned-diced)

    * One large onion (vertically sliced)

    * Two tomatoes

    * 1tsp ginger garlic paste

    * 1/4 tsp turmeric powder

    * 1/2 tsp chili or paprika powder

    * 1/2 tsp garam masala

    * 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder

    * salt to taste

    * Oil 2 tsp

Step1

Heat oil in a pan and once heated add sliced onion. Fry till golden brown. (Do not let it burn, it should just be golden) Now add ginger garlic paste and mix well.

Step2

Once the raw aroma from ginger garlic paste is gone, add all the spices including salt and fry for a minute. You will get nice spiced aroma.

Step3

Now add tomatoes (finely chopped) and cover with lid. Cook for about 2-3 minutes till the tomatoes are soft. Now add diced chicken to this mixture and mix well.

Step4

Cover this with a lid and let it cook on medium flame till the chicken is cooked. This will take about 20 minutes for boned chicken or 15 minutes for boneless chicken.

Step5

Make sure you cook the chicken without adding any water. Once the chicken is cooked, you will see it leaves moisture which would become the curry or the sauce. But if you feel it's too little then add about half a cup of boiling water and cover for another minute or two.

Step6

If you like, you can sprinkle this chicken dish with coriander leaves for garnishing. Serve hot with any Indian bread like chaapaties, naan or rice. You can add little or extra spice according to your taste but these measurements would give you medium hot curry. Now enjoy this simple but delicious curry.
