675 g (1 1/2 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
15 ml (1 tablespoon) butter
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
15 ml (1 tablespoon) curry powder or paste
80 ml (1/3 cup) dried raisins
125 ml (1/2 cup) coconut milk or 35% cooking cream
Ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
In a large frying pan, heat the oil and melt the butter. Brown the chicken cubes all over.
Add the onion, garlic and pepper and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add the curry and mix well to coat all the pieces.
Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat, until the chicken is completely cooked and the sauce thickens.
Serve the curry on a bed of basmati rice and sprinkle with fresh mint or cilantro.
Tip from the chef
For your kids to fully experiment the Indian culture serve this meal with naan bread. And why not have dinner sitting on floor cushions in the family room while listening to Indian-inspired music or a Bollywood movie.
