12 March 2015
So, you wanna impress your friends and relatives and fill your home with one of the most recognizable aromas of the east? There’s no better way than by cooking up some curry chicken! Add yogurt and peppers to that and you’re really talkin. This recipe is easy and is sure to make your taste buds dance like they’re in a Bollywood music video!
 
 
Ingredients:
 
2 chicken breasts
6 colorful peppers, rinsed, dried and chopped
12 mushrooms, not rinsed and chopped into big pieces
500g strained yogurt
2 tbsp corn flour
raw cashews
2 large cup orange juice
3-4 spoonfulls curry
salt & pepper
olive oil
 
Directions:
 
Brown the chicken in a pot with the olive oil, remove from the pot when done and set aside. In the same oil, add the curry and sauté the peppers and the mushrooms.
 
Next, add the cashews and sauté for a minute. Then add the chicken and the salt & pepper to taste. Pour on the orange juice and let boil. In a separate bowl, mix the corn flour into the yogurt. When the food is fully cooked, add the yogurt and corn flour mixture, and let boil for a minute to unite the sauce. 
 
Tips: This dish goes great with basmati rice and caramelized onions. For a bolder flavor, add orange or lemon zest to the mixture while cooking. Add cayenne pepper for a spicier flavor. When adding the yogurt mixture first add a bit of the broth to the bowl with the yogurt and mix together, just like yiayia does with the egg when she’s making avgolemeno soup, then pour the yogurt in slowly to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
 
Warning: Do not allow to boil overlong.
