Best Creamy Chicken Or Prawn Curry Recipes

CREAMY SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
• Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
• Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
• Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
• Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
• Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
• Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
• For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
• Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
• Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

• Gradually whisk in chicken broth and coconut milk; continue cooking over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in cooked shrimp and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until shrimp are thoroughly heated. Serve curry immediately over rice.

CREAMY CHICKEN (OR PRAWN) CURRY

Steps:

• Cook chicken in a hot pan coated with cooking spray till brown and tender. (If using prawns, you can stirfry them at this point till they turn pink, or you can wait till the end and just cook them in the sauce for a few minutes.) Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Saute the garlic, curry powder, carrots, onion and capsicum for 4 - 5 minutes.
• Combine cornflour and water in a small bowl.
• Turn the heat way down low and stir in the milk, stock and cornflour/water mixture. Stir until sauce thickens. Return chicken to the pan and coat with the curry sauce.
• Serve over rice.
• NOTE: After a review stating this was "bland" I realised that Keen's Curry Powder (available in Australia) may be quite different from brands available overseas. Keen's brand curry powder has a fairly high salt content. You may need to add salt to this recipe if your curry powder is low in salt.
