Best Mild Or Hot All In One Oven Curry Recipes

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
• Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
• Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
• Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

CHICKEN CURRY AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place chicken into a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mild curry powder, hot curry powder, black pepper, and salt into onion mixture; continue to cook and stir for 5 minutes, then transfer mixture to chicken and broth.
• Stir potatoes into chicken mixture. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more.

MILD OR HOT ALL IN ONE OVEN CURRY

Steps:

• Chicken: Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise. Cut the halves into fingerthick pieces.
• Mix oil and curry paste and marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes. It can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance. The longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet or wok (high heat) and add the chicken pieces but not the marinade left in the dish you marinated the chicken in as you will need it to toss your onions in it. However, most marinade will stick to the chicken which is ok. You don't need to add extra oil, as there should be enough oil in the marinade. Cook the chicken in a single layer without stirring for ca 40seconds on the first side; turn the chicken pieces and cook for only 30seconds on the second side. Transfer the chicken to a clean bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350F/180°C.
• Onion, spices, rice: Toss onions in dish with leftover marinade of the chicken. Heat oil in same skillet/wok you used for chicken. Fry onions on low heat for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick and chili if using. Cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in washed and drained rice and cook for 1 minute. Take off heat and add raisins and transfer to a casserole dish with a lid or use a wok or wide pan with lid.
• Flavoured stock: Mix ingredients for flavoured stock and heat it. Check seasoning. When hot mix with rice and cover. Put in preheated oven.
• Cook for 20 minutes, then stir in cooked chicken and cherry tomatoes if using. Cook for another 10 minutes or until rice and chicken are done.
• Serve: Sprinkle each serving with coconut and top with lime wedge. The lime wedge is lovely if pressed over curry! Serve with sour cream aside if desired.

FAMILY MEALS: MILD CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan. Fry the onions gently for 5 - 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, mustard seeds, garam masala and cumin and cook for 1 - 2 min allowing the aromas to release.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins over a gentle heat, flipping occasionally and making sure the spices don't catch. Pour in around 300 ml boiling water until almost covering. Stir in the stock cube and cinnamon stick. Simmer for around 45 mins - 1 hour with the lid off so there is a small amount of thickened sauce at the bottom of the pan. Remove the cinnamon stick.
• Stir in the yogurt and sultanas, heat through gently and serve. Scatter with coriander, if using.
