1. Chicken curry and “Currywurst” are famous dishes with curry.
In Germany the “Currywurst” is probably one of the most famous dishes, but also Asian recipes with green curry (thai-kueang kaeng) are very popular.
The green curry paste has nothing to do with the famous curry powder. It consists of 50 % of Thai chili, and the rest is garlic, shallots, galangal root (Thai ginger), roasted coriander seeds, coriander roots, lemon peel and shrimp paste.
Add honey or brown sugar to any dish with curry.
Everyone knows the proverb: “Opposites attract”. That doesn’t only work with relationships but also with curry and sugar.
In other words: curry needs something sweet to give the dish a pleasant and full taste.
Chicken pieces cooked as a the whole
For this chicken curry I cook the deboned chicken breast and the legs on as a whole in the sauce (see video), so the meat won’t get dry.
2. When you are in a hurry: version with chicken strips
If you want to be even quicker, then slice the chicken breast and quickly sear the strips in a dash of oil.
Take out the meat and prepare the vegetables and the sauce. Add the meat to the sauce just before serving the curry. Let everything cook together for about 3 minutes, then it is done.
3. The perfect sauce for the chicken curry
I’m often asked how I prepare my sauces. Here are some of my secrets for you. In my video I show the preparation with chicken stock and soy sauce.
That is just one version. You can also take normal cream or even coconut milk. You can take self-made chicken stock or you use a bouillon cube.
3.1 How to thicken the sauce for the chicken
To thicken the sauce you should use flour. You brown the flour briefly in grease and then you deglaze it with cold water, no lumps will form and the flour taste is reduced.
If you prefer a gluten-free diet, you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch. Mix the starch with cold water, then add it to the chicken curry. Once the sauce boils, it will start to thicken.
Another option is to mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with half a glass of cold water. Then bring the sauce to a boil and add the starch water gradually until the desired thickness is reached.
4. Side dish for Chicken Curry with vegetables – Basmati rice is perfect
Boil the basmati rice in a pot next to the chicken curry. Start with the rice to avoid stress. As a general rule, you bring one cup of rice with two cups of water to a boil.
Don’t forget to salt the water. I give also some brown sugar into the rice for a pleasant taste. Cook the rice with a lid at low heat. Since I worked with a Japanese cook, I always wash the normal rice basmati rice I do not wash!
Other Rice: Put the rice into a bowl and fill the bowl with water. Leave the rice for a few minutes by continuously adding running water to it.
The rice sinks down on the ground and the turbidities will be washed out. That gives the rice a better taste.
