APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY



Apricot Chicken Curry image

I love apricot juice as the base for this curry dish. Chicken drumsticks are an economical meat option, but any bone-in pieces would do. Hold back on the madras curry and peppers to keep this dish mild and flavorful; adjust upward if you enjoy a lot of heat! Over rice, this is a complete meal.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 chicken drumsticks
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 cups apricot nectar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 cup dried apricots
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1 fresh green chile pepper, minced
½ cup chopped water chestnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is softened and is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the drumsticks in the skillet, and brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring the apricot nectar to a boil in a large pot over medium-high eat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture and curry powder into the apricot nectar. Add dried apricots. Transfer the baked drumsticks into the apricot mixture.
  • Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green bell pepper, carrots, and green chile pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened. Pour the drumsticks and apricot sauce into the skillet. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water chestnuts just before serving.

APRICOT CURRY CHICKEN



Apricot Curry Chicken image

A wonderful curry dish made from a base of fresh apricots. Not too spicy, not too mild. Serve over hot cooked jasmine or Basmati rice.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup white sugar
3 ½ cups fresh apricots, pitted and halved
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon red curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen®)
½ (10 ounce) jar mild curry paste (such as Patak's®)
½ cup flaked coconut
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Combine the white wine vinegar, sugar, apricots, coconut milk, onion, garlic, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, red curry paste, mild curry paste, and coconut into a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the onion is translucent and the apricots are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the sauce moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour the blended sauce back into the saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. (You can also use a stick blender and puree the sauce right in the cooking pot.)
  • Stir the chicken meat into the simmering sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.

CHICKEN AND APRICOT MASALA



Chicken and Apricot Masala image

I love curry, but on the whole I am not interested in cooking that involves too much spice-grinding or many-layered processes. Thus this chicken masala is my version of a curry: it demands little effort and delivers a huge amount of flavor.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dried apricots
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cloves
4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 cinnamon stick
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
4 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons tomato paste, diluted in 1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Soak apricots overnight in 2 cups cold water, or cover with 2 cups hot water and soak until swollen and softened, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Prepare masala: In a small bowl, combine hot pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamom, garlic and ginger. Add 1/4 cup water, and stir to make a paste. Set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat oil and cinnamon stick. Add onions and salt, and sauté until onions begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add masala, and stir. Add chicken, and stir for about 5 minutes. Add apricots and their soaking liquid, diced tomatoes and diluted tomato paste.
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Check cooking liquid about halfway through; if chicken is covered with liquid, remove cover for remainder of cooking. Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot.

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients together into one pot, the order is unimportant
  • I cook this in the microwave but can just as easily be done on the hob.
  • Microwave:
  • Cook on high for 5 minutes and give it a good stir. Then simmer for 30 minutes. Stir twice during that time.
  • Hob:
  • Gently bring to the boil then turn down the heat. Simmer for around 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe apricots: Apricots are the star of this dish, so it's important to use fresh, ripe ones. Look for apricots that are plump and have a deep orange color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will make it difficult for the chicken to cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with fresh, fragrant spices.
  • Adjust the spice level to your taste: The amount of curry powder you use will determine the spice level of the dish. If you like a mild curry, use less curry powder. If you like a spicy curry, use more.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This apricot chicken curry can be served with a variety of sides, such as basmati rice, naan bread, or chutney.

Conclusion:

This apricot chicken curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
