I need a good recipe for a chicken curry.?

Indian style. Not too hot.I need a good recipe for a chicken curry.?
This is my favorite.





Chicken Curry





We've been making this for over 10 years and it has evolved quite a bit-a nice Indian dish-we have it often!





Ingredients


6-7 Boneless skinless chicken breasts


1 Large onion


1/8 cup Oil or less


2 Cinnamon sticks


2 Bayleafs


4 tbsp Curry powder


2-3 cans Chicken broth


Toppings:


Bananas-sliced


Salted Peanuts


Raisins


Crushed Pineapple





Preparation


Chop up the onion and cook in a pot with the oil until starting to turn yellow. Chop the chicken into bit-size pieces and add to the onion. Cook until chicken is done. Add curry spice, cinnamon sticks and bayleafs. Add enough chicken broth until it is just covering all the chicken. Cook on the stove on low for a few hours-the longer it cooks, the better the flavor. Or this can be cooked in the crock-pot all day on low.





Serve over white rice and top with all the toppings. Can be eaten with or on Naan bread-. This freezes well also. Very good!I need a good recipe for a chicken curry.?
I usually find that cooked chicken, a jar of whatever curry sauce ( patasks, hompride Tesco's own etc), an onion, some carrots, potatoes added and cooked in a casserole in the oven is very good. It always goes down well with the family.
I made this cury the other day and it was out of this world





Sri Lankan Curry with Coconut Sambal





1陆 lb (700 g) shoulder or neck fillet of British lamb (weighed after trimming), cut into cubes


3 tablespoons groundnut or other flavourless oil


2 onions, chopped small


1 large clove garlic, crushed


1陆 heaped tablespoons plain flour


1 rounded tablespoon Madras curry powder


milk from 1 fresh coconut


about 1 pint (570 ml) stock


3 oz (75 g) fresh coconut, finely grated


3 oz (75 g) creamed coconut, grated


1 inch (2.5 cm) cinnamon stick


6 cardamom pods, crushed


1 rounded teaspoon fenugreek powder


salt and freshly milled black pepper





For the coconut sambal:


flesh of 陆 fresh coconut


1 medium onion


录 level teaspoon chilli powder


2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice


陆 level teaspoon salt





To garnish:


2 hard-boiled eggs, halved


1 medium onion, quartered then separated out into layers





Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300掳F (150掳C).


First, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large casserole, then add the onions and garlic and cook gently to soften for 5 minutes. Next, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and, when it's nice and hot, quickly brown the cubes of meat (you will have to do this in two batches). Then sprinkle the flour and curry powder over the onions in the casserole and stir to soak up the juice, then cook gently for 2 minutes. Now pour the coconut milk into a measuring jug and make up to 1录 pints (725 ml) with stock and slowly pour this into the casserole, stirring all the time. Next, stir in the grated fresh and creamed coconut and transfer the browned meat to the casserole. Finally, add the spices and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to simmering point, cover and cook in the centre of the oven or on a low simmer on top of the stove for 2 hours.





To make the coconut sambal, quite simply grate the coconut and the onion straight into a bowl, then sprinkle in the chilli powder, the lemon or lime juice and the salt. Stir to get everything nicely blended, then sprinkle just a tiny dusting of chilli powder over the top, cover and chill slightly until needed.





Five minutes before the end of the curry's cooking time, remove the cinnamon stick and stir the hard-boiled eggs and onion pieces into the curry to warm through (the onions are not meant to be cooked). Serve with the coconut sambal and Spiced Pilau Rice with Nuts.
