Easy like Sunday mornin'

I spent today, like most Sundays, with my food buddy. Our ritual is usually the same - I cook, we eat, he feels lucky to have an awesome cook in his life, I agree with him, we watch TV, we part ways :-)

I made some easy and yummy curry from one of my cook books today. It hit the spot for sure...

Ingredients

• 1 large onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 450g skinned and chopped chicken fillet
• 4 tablespoons butter (I don't have ghee and wasn't about to go out there to find it) :-)
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 150g canned tomatoes
• 2 finely chopped chilies
• 400ml coconut milk
• bunch of chopped coriander
• 1 large potato

Method

• Peel and chop onion, garlic, mix turmeric and curry powder and rub the chicken with approximately half the mixture
• Heat the butter in a large pan and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add ginger, the remaining spice mix, mustard seeds and fry briefly. Add the tomatoes and coconut milk and simmer for approximately 10 minutes
• Add the chopped chili, chicken and cook gently for approximately 40 minutes
• Check the seasoning and add salt if needed. Garnish with coriander
