Basic Durban Chicken Curry Recipe: Making the simple chicken curry recipe we cook every week
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Chicken curry and rice or chicken bunny chows call for a good chicken curry - almost a staple in most Durban households on a weekly basis because chicken is widely available and widely loved. This is the basic recipe I use in making chicken curry every week almost.
Ingredients
1.5kg frozen or fresh chicken
Marinated with
1 tsp chicken spice
1 tsp crushed ginger garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup oil
1 onion finely sliced
1 small tomato, grated
2 small potatoes, quartered
1 cup frozen peas
1 curry spoon mixed masala with curry leaf
1 tsp hurdee (tumeric)
Handful fresh thyme
1 tsp fine salt
Garnish with spring onion and dhania
Alternate to mixed masala
2 tbs chillie powder
1 tsp hurdee
1 tsp dhania powder
1 tsp jeera powder
1 tsp garam masala
Served with rice and salad, or with dhal and rice or in bunny chow.

A message to children, please help your Mums and grandmothers to share their knowledge with all of us. In this way our elders will continue to look forward to doing something that they love , they will feel good, feel wanted and loved. Remember, our Mothers are our Gods and I’m sure , just like Aunt Gaithree there are other Mothers who will love to do this. They can teach any of the skills on KZread.

Aunty, we do get gravy soakers in Joburg. Come to the Actonville Circle flea market in Actonville and The vegetable uncle will give you up to date potatoes. Lovely gravy soakers. Actually its a whole indian area where we get everything indian, besides the indian shops we have the market on Saturdays where you get fresh fish, trotters, vegetables and clothing.

When my son's first moved up they lived on Atlas Road so Actonville was closer but still a bit of a drive out. We normally head up to Midrand and try for some soft cooking potatoes there and what we find is that it is hit and miss. one month we get great potatoes and the next it cooks hard...
You are the best cook❤

Thanks so much! Yes many Indian South Africans came from the south of India and many of the South Indians kept their names or derivations thereof. The first ship bringing Indians to South Africa actually came from Madras in 1860!

Hi we haven’t done broad beans but it will be very similar to sugar beans we made kzread.info/dash/bejne/fn2kzM5vlM3ahpc.html
Thank you for sharing another awesome recipe. Just have one question, considering the health issues with high cholesterol amongst Indians , would reducing the oil used, be healthier way to cook? The curry no doubt looks delicious and appetizing and just concerned about health and making a difference with our society.
@GaithreeDeviLuckan
2 жыл бұрын
Yep, the recipe is a guideline and you can adjust as required. Salt quantities also vary and if cholesterol is an issue substituting the chicken pieces for chicken breast or a healthier option could also work.
This is my dish for today 😋😍.

Hi, it all depends on the quantity and your own taste. 1.5kg of chicken will feed 4-6 people. For our taste 2 tbs then makes for a milder curry. If you like a milder curry you can adjust this lower.
