BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY



Burmese Chicken Curry image

This recipe is from Cooking Light and is one of my favorite chicken dishes. Yellow lentils (dal) are available where ever Indian foods are sold. Yellow split peas can be substituted. My experience has been that either one takes longer than 25minutes to reach tenderness, so I cook them ahead of time in a crock pot. Red lentils cook much quicker and can also be substituted. Serve over rice or Chinese egg noodles.

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 3/4 cups chicken broth
3 bay leaves

Steps:

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, local, and organic ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than brown.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food well. Burmese cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be shy with the spices.
  • Cook the curry low and slow: The key to a great Burmese chicken curry is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with rice: Burmese chicken curry is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good option, as it is light and fluffy and will help to soak up the delicious curry sauce.

Conclusion:

Burmese chicken curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its bold flavors and complex spices, this dish is a true taste of Burma. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give Burmese chicken curry a try. You won't be disappointed.
