Chicken Kurma

I spoke to the girls back home today, after 2 days not hearing any news from them. My eldest princesses picked up the phone, and cut the conversation short as she was busy in the kitchen. Chef Diva came next; she sounded so tired, and has not taken her dinner yet.

She told me that college life is really killing her, and that she’s bored of her own cooking as well as the college food, and she misses mama’s food. Poor thing, she is simply fantastic with Western cuisine but sucks big time with Asian cooking (maybe she does not like these kind of cooking, as it can be messy).

Anyways, Chicken Kurma and broccoli tofu was on our menu today. Chef Diva loves Chicken Kurma so much, therefore, I am now sharing this simple recipe for her to try and anyone with the same taste bud.

Ingredients:

1 onion, 3 clove garlic, 1 inch fresh ginger to be pounded together
1/2 chicken cut into small pieces (mix the Kurma spice to the clean chicken and leave for 10 minutes)
½ cup yoghurt
3 cups water
1 packet Kurma spice mix
2 fresh tomatoes (cut into small wedges)
2 medium size potatoes (cut into small wedges)
Spring onion (cut into 1 inch length)
Cooking oil, salt to taste

Method
Heat cooking oil in a pot, add the pounded ingredients till fragrant, add the chicken pieces and fry further till chicken changes color, add the potatoes, yoghurt and water. Let it boil on slow fire till the potatoes are ready. Last, add salt, tomatoes and spring onion, bring to boil for another 8 minutes, then turn off the fire.

Happy trying ...........empang :)
