Tracy Pillay’s Chicken Curry

The Ingredients

The Directions

1. Heat oil in pan using medium heat. Fry onions, garlic and ginger until brown.
2. Pour yourself a glass of wine 🙂
3. Add the tomato paste, turmeric, masalas, cilantro power, salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken. Add ½ cup water. Let the curry simmer for 30-55 minutes. You can add more water if you want to weaken the curry during cooking. Garnish with fresh coriander once the curry is cooked.
4. Optional add 125 ml of fresh cream or coconut milk.

The Polenta Dish

Courtney put her own spin on this recipe and we encourage you to do the same. See you “at” the Freedom Festival!
