Garam Masala Curried Chicken With Pineapple and Peas image

A real winner this one. Not your usual chicken curry. Deep in flavour, slightly sweetened by the pineapple, coloured by the peas. This is one of MY best chicken curry recipes, I was reluctant to post this as I like to keep and not share my top recipes, but, my dear wife told me that ' Time is running out, you may not be alive next year, so do it now'. Here then is the recipe, Comfort food at it's best.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 lbs skinless chicken, jointed
2 ounces ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 bay leaves, crumpled up
1 tablespoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon cardamoms, split open at one end
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1 chicken stock cube
2 slices pineapple, cut into 8 pieces (tinned )
1/4 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Heat the Ghee in a pot and fry all of the spices with the garlic.
  • Add the chicken and brown it all over, then add the onion. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer till the chicken is tender.
  • At this point I often add a couple of hard boiled eggs cut in half.
  • Serve with a good rice dish and mango chutney.
