Chicken Vadouvan

Chicken Vadouvan Recipe

Vadouvan Curry is an Indian east coast curry inspired by French colonists.  The French who colonized the Pondicherry area of eastern India took a liking to the local flavours and made this version their own.  A larger-than-usual leaning towards dried onion and garlic, and the freshness of curry leaves, makes this blend mild and a little sweet..

 

Ingredients:

2 tbspn oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 tabspn Vadouvan curry mix

Juice of 1 lemon or 1 tspn tamarind paste

600gms chicken breast or thighs, cubed

1 cup plain yoghurt

Coriander leaves to serve

 

Method:

Fry onion in oil in a large pan

Add curry powder and stir for 1 minute

Add chicken and stir to seal on all sides

Add sufficient water to just cover chicken

Add lemon juice or tamarind paste

Simmer for 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through

Remove form heat and stir in yoghurt

Serve with rice, garnishing with coriander leaves
