Answer 4

I am sorry to hear about your food allergies. There are many Indian "curry" recipes that do not use nuts or coconuts. You can make Indian curries with Spinach, potatoes, tomatoes etc. The possibilities are endless.

Here is a good collection of Chicken Curries. I  use the term curry referring to gravy in Indian cooking, not the "curry" powder used in Japanese/Indian cooking

Answer 8

I am from Pakistan, we have curries (for almost) every lunch and dinner. There are many ways to cook up a curry but when time is short, this is the one. Perfect for when I come home from a long day at the university :-)

3 tbsp vegetbale oil

1 large yellow onion

1 tsp chopped garlic

1 tsp chopped ginger

3 tomatoes

1 chicken, cut into pieces as you prefer

2 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

1 tsp salt

red chili powder, according to your chili tolerance, i prefer it spicy so 1 tsp does it for me

1/2 a bunch chopped fresh coriander (or cilantro)

Chop the onions finely. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. fry until light golden and then add the ginger and garlic. saute for a minute. Add the chicken and saute until chicken starts browning. Add the tomatoes and spices. Stir to combine. Simmer on medium heat until chicken is tender and fully cooked. Just before removing from stove, add the chopped coriander. Serve with rice or naan.

Notes:

You can make your own garam masala: http://www.recipedelights.com/basics/Gar...

btw...a tawa is a totally flat skillet...you can use an ordianry skillet.

Fresh home-ground spices are highly preferred to store-bought ones. If only I had the time to do so.
