Eating from the storecupboard: chicken curry

 

Today I made a very simple chicken curry using the yellow sticker chicken my DIL got me.  I chopped the 2 small breasts into chunks and sprinkled some garlic granules, mixed herbs and a pinch of salt over them.  This amount of chicken will feed me for 3 meals.

I sautéed them in a little oil for a few minutes until just cooked then removed them from the pan.

I mixed 3 tsp of garam masala, 1 tsp each coriander, cumin and turmeric plus 1/2 tsp of chilli flakes.

I fried the spices (carefully to avoid burning) in 1 tsp oil in the same pan.

I added my last portion of tomato and veg sauce from the freezer and about a cup of water.  I simmered it for about 10 mins.

I added back a third of the cooked chicken and simmered until piping hot.  It wasn't too spicy so I only added a little of the coconut cream my DIL also got me.

I served it with one of the naans/flatbread I made at the weekend.  It was really good and so quick to make!  I've now got an opened carton of coconut cream to use up in the next few days!
