I love indian food but often find it hit or miss to buy. I have therefore played with the recipes I have and the ingredients I own to make one that works when I am in a hurry. The best way to cook it is in the pressure cooker or you can put in a slow cooker if you are better then me and have the time. I know there are quite a few ingredients but its worth it and you can use for other indian meals. Ill post a recipe for a butter chicken too
Ingredients
5 or 6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs whole and Ive been known to use frozen too when Ive been in a hurry.
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup canned tomatoes diced
2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of red or yellow curry paste depending on taste
4-5 cloves Garlic diced
1 teaspoon minced ginger minced
2 handfuls of almonds
1 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 cup water
After cooking
a handful of cherry tomatoes whole
1/2 cup coconut milk or if you prefer normal cream
1/2 cup of coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
More salt and pepper for seasoning
So basically I place all the pre cook ingredients bar the chicken and the water into a blender and blitz until well mixed. I still like the almonds to be chunky not smooth (think peanut butter consistency)
I then pour it all into the pressure cooker and pour the water in the blender and scrape the sides to get the last of the paste and pour that into the cooker as well.
Place the chicken pieces in the sauce and turn so the pieces are covered. Cover and pressure cook for 20 mins. Once done take the chicken out and chop up. Let the sauce cool slightly and then add the remaining ingredients. and stir. Place the chicken back in and then check the seasoning. After that enjoy :)
