Best Lily Kwoks Chicken Curry Recipes
LILY KWOK'S CHINESE CHICKEN CURRY
I saw this on The People's Cookbook and just had to try it. It was submitted by Lily's grand-daughter Helen, who told the story of how Lily left Hong Kong, bound for England on a three month sea voyage. At every port Lily would collect spices and experiment with them. When she arrived in England, she perfected this curry and made it for friends and neighbours, later opening a restaurant based on this dishes popularity.Lily is still alive and still cooking curry for friends and neighbours. This dish beat the opposition and won it's way into The Peoples Cookbook. It's a great curry with big, bold flavours, worth every bit of effort that goes into it. Just remember Lily when you eat it.

Steps:
- SAUCE:.
- Heat the oil or ghee in a heavy based pan or wok over high heat. Add the onion and stir fry for 3 minutes, or until starting to soften, but not brown.
- Add the ginger, garlic and chillies and continue stir-frying for 30 seconds and then reduce heat to very low and leave to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is completely soft, but nothing browns.
- Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili and curry powders and continue cooking very gently for 5 minutes. Don't burn the spices or they will taste acrid; sprinkle on a few drops of water if you're worried. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool a little.
- Put the water into a food processor or blender, then add contents of the pan. Blend until everything is very smooth, then add both flours and blend again. Put the pureed mixture back into the pan and simmer for 20-30 minutes (longer the better) over a very low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a little hot water if it starts to catch, but the idea is to gently fry the sauce so that it darkens in colour to an orangey brown. Once you have a thick paste, gradually stir in the stock and simmer until the sauce has reduced.
- CHICKEN:.
- Season the cornflour and toss the chicken strips in this to coat them. Heat the oil in a large fry pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until they turn white. Add the onion and the peas and stir-fry a few minutes more. Then stir in the curry sauce and heat until everything is hot.

LILY KWOK'S CHICKEN CURRY
Twenty-eight year old lawyer Helen Tse is third generation British Chinese. This curry recipe came from her grandmother, Lily, and uses spices she collected at the ports the boat stopped on her journey from Hong Kong to Britain. Her grandmother was the first woman to open a Chinese restaurant in Manchester, which is now run by Helen's twin sister.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and cook the chopped onion for a few minutes over a high heat.
- Add the ginger, garlic and red chilli.
- Stir for 30 seconds then reduce the heat to very low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time, making sure nothing browns or burns.
- Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder and chilli powder and cook very gently for a further 5 minutes.
- Don't burn the spices or the sauce will taste acrid; sprinkle on a few drops of water if you're worried.
- Remove from the heat and cool a little.
- Put the water in a food processor or blender and add the contents of the pan. Whiz until very smooth. Add the two flours and blend again.
- Put the puréed mixture back into the pan and cook for 20-30 minutes (the longer the better) over a very low heat, stirring occasionally.
- You can add a little hot water if it starts to catch on the pan, but the idea is to gently "fry" the sauce so that it darkens in colour to an orangey brown.
- Once you've achieved a thick paste, gradually stir in the stock and simmer until the sauce has cooked down.
- For the chicken: season the cornstarch with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken strips in the cornstarch to coat.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken for a few minutes until it turns white.
- Add the onions and peas and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add the curry sauce and heat until piping hot.
- Serve with boiled white rice.

Steps:
- 1. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil and add the chicken pieces skin side down, spreading them in the wok. Cook undisturbed 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat between medium and medium-high as the chicken browns. Then, using a metal spatula, turn the chicken over and pan-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until the chicken is browned on the other side but not cooked through. Remove to a plate, leaving the pan drippings.
- 2. Add the shallots to the pan drippings, and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until just softened. Add the curry paste or powder and cook, stirring, 30 seconds or until fragrant. (With curry paste, the drippings may spatter a little; with curry powder, the ingredients become dry and the pan may begin to smoke.)
- 3. Return the chicken to the wok and stir until well combined with shallots. Add the coconut milk and broth and bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. Turn the chicken and simmer 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
