Chicken in Yogurt and Curry Sauce brings together the creamy richness of yogurt with the aromatic warmth of curry, creating a deliciously unique dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1.1 lbs (500 g) chicken (preferably breast meat)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 large tart apple (e.g., Granny Smith), peeled and chopped
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) full-fat yogurt (avoid using low-fat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken, and sauté until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the chopped apple and cook briefly, allowing it to soften slightly.
- Stir in the curry powder and raisins, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the yogurt and return the chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15–20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve the chicken in curry yogurt sauce over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
Vegetarian Option:
You can substitute the chicken with mushrooms for a flavorful vegetarian version.
Don’t let the idea of fruit in a savory dish deter you—apples soak up the surrounding flavors beautifully, creating a balanced and aromatic dish.
Enjoy this unique and delicious recipe!
