Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

3 tablespoons Ghee, recipe follows
2 medium onions, chopped
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Curry Powder, recipe follows
1 cinnamon stick
1 to 3 dried red chiles
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 15-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups chicken stock
4 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 lemon, juiced
Mint leaves, for garnish
1 pound unsalted butter
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon cardamom seeds
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
2 dried red chiles, broken in pieces, seeds discarded
2 tablespoons turmeric

Steps:

  • Heat the Ghee in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, ginger, and garlic and cook slowly until the onions are very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste, Curry Powder, cinnamon stick, and chiles and give it a good stir; season with salt and pepper. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock and bring it back to a simmer; cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken, cilantro, and half the lemon juice; continue to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Garnish with cilantro and mint leaves.
  • Put the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter slowly and make sure it does not sizzle or brown. Increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is covered with foam, stir gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Gently simmer, uncovered, and undisturbed for 45 minutes, until the milk solids in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is transparent. Strain the ghee through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The ghee should be perfectly clear and smell nutty; pour into a glass jar and seal tightly.
  • Toast the coriander, cumin, cardamom, peppercorns, fennel, mustard, cloves, and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat just until they smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the curry powder immediately, or store in a sealed jar for up to 1 month.

VIETNAMESE SPICY VEGETABLE CURRY



Vietnamese Spicy Vegetable Curry image

This Heart Smart vegetable curry was developed by Mai Pham for her book: "Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking" and is served at her restaurant, "Lemongrass" in Sacramento. She substitutes low fat milk for coconut milk to keep the saturated fat content down. I suggest adding a little coconut flavoring. Also a Vietnamese brand of curry powder such as Golden Bells would be preferred, or use a brand that is low in cumin and fennel.

SLIGHTLY SPICY VEGETABLE CURRY



Slightly Spicy Vegetable Curry image

Like all curries, this one is spicy for those that can't handle any spicy food. However, if you love hot spicy food this one may be a little mild, but you can spice it up even hotter by adding additional cayenne pepper to it. This is wonderful serve with Nans and Dahl. Try adding different vegetables or omit any that you don't happen to care for. Another recipe by one of the Micheff Sisters, Brenda Walsh.

This is an easy & healthy dish that you can TaylorMake to whatever you like - you can add just about any sliced vegetable to this dish. I made this version completely vegetarian (actually vegan) but it would be delicious with grilled shrimp, sliced chicken, or beef. Serve with brown rice, jasmine rice or any type of noodle. Rice Noodle, Mung Bean (which are gluten free), soba noodles, ramen (w/out the seasoning packet), I have even used regular pasta when I was in a pinch - use whatever you have on hand.

EASY SPICY VEGETABLE CURRY



Easy Spicy Vegetable Curry image

This is a variation of a recipe I got from the food columnist at the Fayetteville Flyer. She was bemoaning the fact that Fayetteville has no Indian restaurants and the ones within driving distance to the north were mediocre at best. I have not had any decent Indian food since moving here from Dallas. I have very fond memories of Indian food from our trips to London. London is a great food town! There was a Pakistani restaurant that opened in an old Pizza Hut here this year that did not last long. I have no idea if the food was good but can't help wondering if maybe they had called it Kashmiri or Himalayan cuisine it might have been more successful. And of course that whole abandoned Pizza Hut thing can be risky.
