Malaysian Pepper & Chicken Curry

Easy to prepare, very quick cook, tasty and fairly cheap.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

  • 600g of chicken (I like to use thigh as it stays juicy)
  • 2x Whole Red Pepper
  • 1x Whole Yellow/Orange Pepper
  • 2x small Red Onion

  • 15ml of light Soy sauce
  • 2x teaspoons of Medium Curry powder (you can put less if its too "hot" for you)
  • 15g ginger (fresh, jar (minced) or powder - I find the jar or fresh is best)
  • 2x tablespoons of Tomato Puree
  • 15ml of Cider Vinegar
  • 200ml of stock (chicken or veg)
  • 30g garlic (fresh, jar (minced) or powder - same advice ^^)
  • 20g of Cornflour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sweetner (try to get the natural ones, not the chemical versions)






Method:

Cut the Chicken into bite sized chunks
Chop the onions and peppers to match
(you can prepare this any time of the day, I do this early am and then put in a covered bowl in the fridge)

Into a large jug put ALL the other ingredients and stir well 
(again this can be left in the fridge - but stir it well when you take it out)

Ready to Cook.....
Put the chicken, onions and peppers into a large fry pan/wok - preferably with a lid as this will keep the moisture in the dish
(use whatever oil/spray oil of your choice - I use Frylite - dont make it too greasy)

Ensure all the chicken is cooked, then stir in the jug of fluids/spices

Leave to simmer until the sauce is nice and sticky (I tend to leave mine a little runny, then it soaks into the rice!)

Serve with whatever rice you choose, personally I prefer to add a massive handful of spinach and forgo the rice, or if I have left over CauliRice I use that.
The Men love Pilau Rice &/or Chapatis, which they can dip!

It freezes well, so can be divided into portions or leftovers can be saved.
