Chicken Chickpea Curry

2 Comments

This One Pot Chicken Chickpea Curry has a wonderful depth of flavor that you’re sure to love. 

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN CHICKPEA CURRY

  • This popular dish is made with boneless chicken breast and simmered in a rich tomato spiced cream sauce that you’re sure to love. 
  • You can prepare this dish all in one pot on the stove or in your slow cooker/pressure cooker.
  • I like to prepare this in my slow cooker on the browning setting, just make sure you are using that lid otherwise you will have a mess for sure.
  • Find cooking instruction below in the recipe card. 

I have experimented with plenty of curries for some time now, so you can trust me when I say this recipe is a sure winner.

Now you will want to go down the ethnic food aisle in your local grocery to pick up some “Madras Curry” which is the right kind of curry powder for this recipe.

Then you will add just a few more traditional Indian spices that will make this dish absolutely amazing.

Also if your not to familiar with dried fenugreek leaves, then I encourage you taking a stroll down your groceries ethnic for those as well.

They are sure to have it there somewhere, however if you cannot find them feel free to use cilantro or parsley instead.

Who said it takes a chef to make real Indian curry? Obviously never was in your kitchen.

Feel free to omit the chickpeas if your not a fan, however I love them and find they work so well in this recipe.

Not to mention add more fiber and helps to spread the meal out so you can have leftovers the next day.

If you prefer a much more spicier curry, I definitely recommend that you use fresh tomatoes versus canned. The canned tomatoes do give it a hint of sweetness that I find contrast well with the spices.

However this is your curry, so do as you please.

Cooking methods:

  • Simmer on a low-medium heat for 1 hour on the stovetop
  • Cook in the pressure cooker around 10 minutes or depending on your instructions
  • Cook in the slow cooker from 8-10 hours.

If you like curry dishes as much as me then you are going to love this simple recipe. Be sure to make some basmati rice to serve alongside or if you really want to make it extra special go ahead and make some homemade Naan Bread.

Like this dish, try my “Chicken & Spinach Curry“ it is delicious!!

Bunny Chow

Leave a comment

Spicy lamb Bunny Chow originated in South Africa, in Durmas area. And then spread throughout the region from there. Today it is served in many European Restaurants and in many homes of “Afrikaans” as a staple food. And I see why, it is absolutely delicious! 

What is Bunny Chow anyway? Well it’s a curry that is traditionally made with Lamb or Mutton or just Vegetables and then it is put inside a loaf of bread for serving.

History tells the tale of some Indian sugar plantation workers that started to take this food to work daily in a loaf of bread with (no plate) and from there it just took off as one of South Africans famous foods.

Today this recipe has become a hit in Europe and beyond. I prefer to make this recipe and then place it into “Crusty Bread” as opposed to the traditional “Bunny Bread” which is a plain soft white bread.

Of course this is my personally preferences, you can choose to prepare it either way! And do not be afraid to eat this one with your hands either, that is how it’s done.

Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry

Leave a comment

This Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry is a fusion type dish that I came up with in the past year or so.

This dish is packed with flavors that your sure to enjoy!

As you may know, I love Thai and Indian food. So you will always find all those types of spices in my pantry along with coconut milk.

For this recipe, I have infused spices from both cultures, to come up with this Chicken Potato Curry recipe, that I think is worth sharing. And have made time and time again in my kitchen. 

Everything goes so well together to make a creamy, spicy and flavorful curry. Serve over a bed of jasmine rice or alongside some naan bread.

NAAN bread also goes amazingly well with this meal. You can find that recipe at the bottom of this post!

This dish can be made with shrimp too, just add your shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking and omit the step  of cooking the chicken. 

Cooking Methods:

  • Pressure Cooker: Cook for approx. 10 minutes – after following the initial steps 1-6.
  • Slow Cooker: Place on LOW for 2-3 hours HIGH for 3 hours. – after following the initial steps 1-6.
  • Stove Top: Cook covered on low for 60 minutes. – after following the initial steps 1-6.
