This first recipe is good but a bit difficult. I have attached some more user friendly recipes also.

Chicken Curry with Tamarind (Sour Chicken Curry)


The richness of this water-based chicken curry depends upon the inclusion of the bones. Practical for Westerners, the preparation time takes less than 30 minutes. Use a sharp heavy cleaver to cut though the chicken bones with a quick blow - it is easier than it sounds! But if your knife is dull, substitute boneless chicken breast.





Ingredients





1 1/2 lb chicken hind quaters


3 level tbsp Mae Ploy or MaeSri Brand sour red curry paste


2 tbsp water


1 cup water


1 tsp sea salt


2 level tblsp tamarind paste or fresh lime juice


2-3 tbsp fish sauce, Golden Boy brand is recommended


4 fresh Thai chili peppers (';prik kee noo';) or jalepeno, if desired


Preparation





Serperate the leg from the upper thigh cutting with a sharp cleaver (or have the butcher do it for you); cut the drumsticks in half crosswise;cut the upper thigh into approximately 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch pieces, cutting through the bone with a sharp blow of the knife. Use the base of the palm of your hand to pound the back of the cleaver if needed to cut completely through.





Mix the curry paste with the 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Add paste to 1 cup of water in a medium size saucepan. Add the cut-up chicken pieces. Add 1 tsp sea salt.





Add the tamarind, breaking into small pieces with your fingers. There will be some seeds in the curry this way, if it is the paste with the seeds. If you prefer, mix the tamarind in 2 tbsp of warm water, palpitating it with your fingers to extract the juice. Discard the seeds. Add the juice to the saucepan.





Bring chicken to a boil over high heat. Boil until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.





If desired, add the jalepenos cut in half or in thin long slices, with or without the seeds. If you like it spicy leave the seeds intact.





Add 2 Tblsp. of fish sauce. Cook 1 minute longer. Turn off the heat. Serve in a medium sized bowl with a serving spoon. Each diner spoons just what he/she needs over an individual portion of jasmine rice.





Notes:


When making curry do not add too much water, adding just enough to cover the ingredients. This will intensify the flavor.





Use fish sauce (nam plah) like salt, adding at the end of cooking, to adjust seasoning to taste.





To intensify the heat, add fresh chile peppers at the end of cooking. Slightly crush tiny birds eye chilies, with the side of a cleaver. Jalepenos are more readily available. Slice into quaters. Remove the seeds if a milder flavor is desired. Cook just slightly for a hotter flavor. Also note that, red chilies are hotter than green of the same type. But chiles can vary in degree of hotness, depending on the area where they were grown and their age.





Serve the curry with Thai jasmine rice. Serves 3 to 4.

Here is a simple, West Indian recipe that my mom makes all the time.


Get the chicken parts you are gonna use and cut them into small pieces. (Clean them first, of course)


After cutting them add the curry powder, salt, onion cubes, a little paprika and escallion. Leave to marinate for like an hour or two. After that take it out of the fridge and heat about 1/8 cup of oil in a sauce pan or frying pan. When the oil gets hot, drop the pieces of chicken into the hot oil and allow the curry to brown or until the curry starts to turn a brownish colour. After this, about 5 mins, add about 1/2 cup of water or as much to cover most of the chicken (not all). Leave to simmer properly for about 20 mins, while checking to ensure that it is not overcooked or the water has not dried out. When it is at the right texture turn off the heat and enjoy!!
