Garlic Chilli Chicken Curry

Name: Garlic Chilli Chicken Curry
Prep time: 60 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 95 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 800 g Chicken thighs; 2 tbsp Thick natural yoghurt; 1 tbsp Ground coriander; 1 tbsp Ground cumin; 1 tbsp Chilli powder; 1 tbsp Turmeric; 2 tbsp Ground fenugreek; 2 tbsp Garam masala; Salt; 4-5 tbsp Ghee; 2 Onion; 20 Garlic cloves; 2 thumbs Ginger; 3 Birdseye chillies; 1 tbsp Ground Coriander; 1 tbsp Ground Cumin; 1 tbsp Chilli powder; 1 tbsp Turmeric; 2 tbsp Ground Fenugreek; 2 tbsp Garam Masala; 1 Cinnamon stick; 5 Green cardamom pods; 4-6 Fresh tomatoes; 2 tbsp Tomato purée; Water

20 garlic cloves make this takeaway classic the most incredible kiss repellent. At its heart it’s a tomato-based curry, but it’s the way you treat each stage that makes it exceptional. The onions aren’t just softened, they’re cooked down properly until sweet and collapsed. The spices aren’t tipped in and forgotten, they’re bloomed in fat so they wake up and deepen. This isn’t one of those “throw everything in and hope” jobs. You build it step by step, and in doing so you learn how flavour actually works. Master the art of Indian cooking, and you’ll learn how to cook using your senses rather than a recipe

Step 1

Start with the chicken. Mix the yoghurt, spices and salt, then coat the chicken thoroughly. Leave it to marinate while you get everything else ready. Longer is better, but even an hour helps.

Hey Jack - do I need to dice chicken thighs or leave them as is? Getting stuck into this on Friday! R

Hey Richard, I usually slice the thighs into 3 pieces! Let me know if you have any other questions and how it goes!

Was wondering if I was using too much spices as it says tablespoons but it's looking gorgeous!

Your recipe says tbsp of the spices. Is that right! I seem to have far more spice than it appears in the video! 😂

Hi Ray! Definitely tablespoons! You could even go for more of the garam masala and fenugreek and it will be even more delicious!
