Chicken and Dhal Curry Recipe



Chicken and Dhal Curry Recipes

Ingredients :

250g (8 oz) red lentils (masoor dhal)

600ml (1 pint) water

3 tbsp vegetable oil

2 onions, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2.5cm (1 inch) piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp ground leaves

2 tsp chili powder

750g (1.5 lb) chicken thighs

salt

Method :

Wash the lentils in several changes of cold water, then leave to soak in a bowl of clean water for 1 hour. Drain the utensils and boil in the measured water with 1 tsp salt added, for about 1 hour, until soft. Drain and set aside.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions, garlic and ginger and fry for about 5 minutes. Add the spices and salt to taste and fry gently for 10 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add 2 tbsp water. Add the chicken thighs and fry until golden all over. Add the cooked lentils, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

Serves 4

Chicken thighs work really well in curries, because they need lengthy cooking, and preferable in a sauce, to tenderize the meat.
