CHICKEN CURRY AND ROTI
Curry recipe : 4 cardamom pods
1 Cinnamon stick
1 large onion
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp garlic
4 medium potatoes
1kg chops / steak / chicken
2 tsp jiera (cumin)
3 tsp koljana
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp curry powder
2tsp masalla (mine is a mix of durban masalla, leaf masalla, packo roasted masalla and regular red masalla)
I first heat my olive oil, and crush the cardamom then add that to the oil with the cinnamon stick.
Then the onions, and when they are caramelised, I add the garlic and ginger. When the garlic and ginger becomes fragrant, I make a well in the centre of the pot and add the spices to the middle.
Once I can smell the spices, i mix everthing with a little boiling water to make a lovely thick gravy and add my cubed potatoes.
I let the potatoes become slightly soft before adding the meat, then slowly let it cook for about 30 minutes till everything is lovely and tender.
Add a handful of roughly chopped dhania before serving.
