La Feytaud Diet Main course Recipe 3 - Indian Chicken Curry with Cucumber Yogurt Salad

This spicy dish reheats well if you have any leftovers. Although it contains a quite a few ingredients, it comes together quickly. This is a basic recipe; feel free to experiment by adding other recommended vegetables to the curry. The cool, refreshing side dish of cucumber in yogurt provides terrific contrast to the spicy curry.

Makes 6 servings

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and pepper
Small amount of flour for dredging
2 teaspoons walnut oil
1 medium onion, sliced
3 large onions, liquidised
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 large tin whole tomatoes
½ a teaspoon of hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ a teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons of curry powder
½ a cup of chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
300 grams of long grain rice

Sprinkle the chicken with salt & pepper, dredge lightly in flour, and set aside. Add a little walnut oil to a large casserole dish and place over medium high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and sauté just until they start to brown, about 3-minutes. Add the chopped onion and sauté just until the onions begin to soften, about 5-minutes. Then add the chopped garlic. Add the tomatoes with their juices, red pepper flakes, coriander, ginger and curry power. Stir, cover, turn the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-minutes. Add the liquidized onions five minutes before serving

Before serving, adjust the seasonings and stir in the cilantro and lemon juice.

Rice should be cooked 15 minutes before serving. Rinse rice before cooking and again with boiling water before serving. Go easy on the rice servings as these carry a lot of carbs.
