Ingredients

For Marinate

  • 5 chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

For Curry

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 3″ cinnamon sticks
  • 3-4 tomatoes
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon of curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 cup of plain yoghurt
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method

  1. In a bowl, place your chicken thighs. To this, add the rosemary, thyme, apple cider vinegar, garlic and the sweet chili sauce. Mix this all up and the, cover and allow to marinate over night. Always remember, the longer you marinate, the better the flavors.

Once marination is done, put the chicken to boil , and once done, set aside. if you prefer not to boil before cooking the curry, shallow frying them would be ok.

In another work, add the red onion, fresh ginger, coriander stems, some salt and bay leaves.

Let this cook until fragrant, then add the tomato and all the spices. Mix them in and add 1/4 cup of hot water and let this cook down until everything is incorporated and thickened. The video shows that very well. Do not add an ocean because if you make watery soup at this point, you will not be able to fix it later. And we want a nice, thick, rich chicken curry anyway :)))

Add the boiled chicken followed by the plain yoghurt and let this cook until combined. Not vanilla/banana/chocolate, but plain yogurt. This should take about 10-15 minutes for everything to come together.

Once done, garnish with your cilantro leaves and prepare yourself psychologically for the tsunami of flavor you are about to experience. This. Is. Not. A. Drill!

Can we seriously first appreciate how amazing this chicken curry looks??? I had mine with rice upon my first serving, but later on had it with ugali in the evening and with chapati the following day! This beauty goes with everything!!!

Any chicken dish would not be complete without starting with a good marinade. And I am so glad I went with the five ingredients I choose, especially the sweet chili Thai sauce. It introduced a deeper, fuller flavor that one could not really put their finger on, but without doubt thoroughly enjoyed! The plain yoghurt not only thickened the gravy, but also tempered the heat of the pepper and the chili. This chicken curry was tender, spicy, flavorful and rich.
