Bukka Chicken Curry

Bukka Chicken

Inspired by recipes I've followed, I concocted this recipe about 6 months ago and I have to say, its pretty damn tasty. I used a little mango chutney to add some sweetness. 

It's a very simple to follow recipe, so please give it a go. 

BUKKA CHICKEN Ingredients

10 curry leaves

3 cloves

3 cardomoms

Teaspoon cumin seeds

4 peppercorns

1 dried Kashmiri chilli

1" cinnamon stick

500gr chicken thighs (skinless)

4 tablespoons oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 teaspoon ground coriander

Half teaspoon chilli powder

Half teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon salt

1-2 chopped green chillis

1 teaspoon Sainsbury's spicy mango chutney

2 medium onions chopped

3 garlic cloves crushed

1" piece ginger finely sliced and julienned.

1 teaspoon Garam masala

BUKKA CHICKEN Method

Fry dried spices in oil until fragrant

Add onion garlic and chopped ginger, cook until soft and golden, about ten minutes. Add ground spices and salt and chopped green chilli, stir. Turn the heat down to stop the spices burning. 

Stir in tomatoes a spoonful at a time and cook down, until you end up with a nice dense base. 

Add chicken, cook on medium high stirring frequently.

Add some water and cook for ten minutes. Add the mango chutney, julienne ginger and a splash of water. Put lid on and cook on low for a further ten minutes.

Stir in Garam masala. Leave to rest for a few minutes, then serve.
