note..As you cook this curry keep adding drizzles of oil and the odd drop of water to loosen the ingredients with. Do not worry if you add a little too much oil, it may float to the top but this is good because it is not a dish to eat daily don't worry about it. DO worry though if you add too much water, only add little drops here and there as you want your curry loosely thick NOT a stew.

How to make a chicken curry recipe


Grind the diced medium onion in a blender.

It should look like a runny paste.

Now grind the ginger and garlic in the same way (you may need to add a little water but only a tiny drop).

Blend the cherry tomatoes.

Put the blended onions into a hot pan/wok with some oil and keep stiring until it goes a golden colour.

When golden add the blended ginger/garlic mix and turn down the heat a little.

Keep stiring and cook for a minute or so.

Add the chicken, stir and cook for a minute or so.

Cook for a few of minutes.

Add the turmeric stir well, again add some more oil and maybe a small drop of water.

Cook for a minute or two stiring all the time adding more oil if needed.

Add the cumin and coriander.

Add the dried coriander.

Add the black pepper and salt (optional).

Keep stiring and adding a little oil if needed.

The mushrooms will not take long to cook.

Always make sure the chicken is white in colour and piping hot all the way through.

(I always break a chunk of chicken in half to check)

You can take half of the curry and put it into a dish - leave it to cool a little before you cover and refrigerate it. Never put hot food straight into a fridge.
