Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 -5 lbs lamb or 4 -5 lbs chicken meat, cut into cubes
1 large onion, chopped
6 -12 garlic cloves, mashed together with salt (or substitute a chicken or beef bouillon cube)
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
3 small hot red chili peppers (or cayenne pepper, to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup fresh coriander or 1 cup cilantro, chopped
2 -4 potatoes, diced
2 carrots, diced (or a seasonal vegetable like eggplant)
1/3 cup yogurt

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic and salt in a bowl. Add just a bit of water to make a paste.
  • Add the cumin seed, fenugreek seed, coriander seed, black mustard seed, curry powder and turmeric powder plus red chili to taste and pound to a smooth paste.
  • Use a blender to make the garlic and spice mix. Add just enough water to blend. I use a bouillon cube instead of salt.
  • Add a handful of chopped fresh coriander leaves and cook in a heavy pot over medium heat until thick.
  • Add the meat to the sauce. Stir to coat the meat and partially cover, stirring occasionally. You may add 2 teaspoons sugar (8 g) and 1 teaspoon salt (4 g) about half-way through to "make it tender".
  • When the vegetables are added depends on how long they will take to cook. Add the diced potatoes, diced carrots, 1/2 chopped large onion, some fresh coriander and finish cooking.
  • The meat shrinks a lot cooked this way, but the flavor is intensified and the sauce stays thick. It should coat the meat almost like a glaze. Cook on lower heat if you like, but the result will be more of a broth.
  • At the end, add some more chopped onion and stir in the yogurt plus more fresh coriander to garnish.
  • Serve with chutney, rice and tortillas or chapatis if available. The proper way to eat this is to tear off a piece of tortilla or chapti and scoop some curry up with it. It's finger lickin' good!

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The curry is flavorful and the chicken is tender. I served it with rice and it was a hit with my family.

I love this Fiji curry! It's so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. The chicken is always tender and the sauce is always flavorful. I usually serve it with rice, but it would also be good with noodles or roti.
