"How To Make Red Hot Chicken Curry" by Arvind G

Curry is one of the main dishes that most Indians eat and there are also many types of curry that someone can get. So many people have told me that they want some curry, either chicken curry or some other type of curry. They have told me to make curry for them. Well instead of me having to make it, you guys should try it out for yourselves. It might be hard for some to make because it takes patience and everything has to be done perfectly or else your curry will turn out to something that you do not want to eat(personal experience). So I will tell you guys how to make Red Hot Chicken Curry which has a satisfyingly think sauce, and for color and flavor red and green peppers are used. There are many ways that you can make this a unique dish by adding something special to it that you would like but as long as you follow the basic instructions things will be fine.   
Things you will need:
A bowl(pyrex is the best, glass is good too)
Heavy Stirfry pan(not too big about medium size)


Ingredients:
2 medium onions                                ½ tsp grated root ginger
½ red bell pepper                                1 tsp ground coriander
½ green bell pepper                          1 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp oil                                                   1 tsp salt
¼ tsp fenugreek seeds                     14 oz can tomatoes(fresh tomatoes are better)
¼ tsp onion seeds                               2 tbsp chopped cilantro
½ tsp crussed garlic                           3 fresh green chilies, chopped fresh coriander to garnish
2 tbsp lemon juice                             12 oz chicken, skinned and cubed


Directions:
    1.     Start with the onions first, dice them up using a sharp knife.
Take the seeds out from the peppers and cut them into chunks,
 not too big or too small because this is the size you will cut the chicken into.
    2.     In the heavy stirfry pan, turn the stove to medium heat and heat the oil and fry the fenugreek and onion seeds until they turn a shade darker. Add the chopped onions, crushed garlic and fresh ginger. Fry this for about 5 minutes until the onions are a golden brown shade. When you see the onions change color them reduce the heat to low. 

    3.     In a separate bowl mix the ground coriander, chili powder, salt, canned(or fresh) tomatoes, and lemon juice. Stir very well for about 2 minutes to get mixed together well and to get the perfect taste. You can also add the chicken into this to get it to have the mixture on it too.
    4.      Now you pour the mixture into the pan and increase the heat to about medium. And stir-fry this for about 3 minutes(if you added the chicken in step 3 you have to stir-fry for about 8-10 minutes).
   5.     If you did not add the chicken in step 3 you can add it now. After adding the chicken you will stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes).
   6.     Add the chopped fresh coriander and green chilies and the red and green bell pepper chunks you had cut.
7.     Lower the heat, cover the pan and allow for this to simmer for about 10 minutes, until the chicken cubes are fully cooked. If it takes too long the chicken might get all dried up and if you turn the heat off too early then the chicken will be left undone.
8.     Serve the curry hot, garnished with the fresh coriander for added flavor.



As you see here that I added peas to my curry, this did not really affect it too much it just increases the flavor of it and makes it taste better. HAPPY COOKING J

  4. I was very excited to hear that you were going to write your blog submission on how to make curry, as curry is one of my favorite dishes. I've had curry plenty of times, but I have never had authentic Indian curry, as my family usually buy the Japanese curry blocks. It's amazing how all the liquids of this dish according to your recipe came solely from the tomatoes alone, compared to water when my mother makes it. It also surprised me how only a teaspoon of curry powder is needed to give the whole pot its curry flavor. Nice job, the instructions were straight forward, the ingredients were nicely listed, and the pictures made the dish even more appealing. Thank you for sharing!

  5. Arvind, this is definitely one of my favorite how-to articles thus far. There are few things I love more than cooking and eating. So, an article which enables me to do both is bound to put a smile on my face! I have always been curios to try authentic curry - according to Food Network, it is amazing. Looks like I will be making curry in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for the recipe!

  6. I was attracted immediately to the article because I love chicken curry...and now I can make it on my own instead of waiting for my parents to make it! I very much enjoyed this article because it is incredibly easy to follow and informative: I feel like I could easily pull up this article while cooking and refer to it without messing up the food beyond repair.

  9. I loved how you incorporated the pictures in your piece. The visual details help me to see what the outcome should look like haha. I would love to try this sometimes and your introduction actually inspired me to try it. You're right, instead of begging you to make curry, I could just do it myself with the help of your recipe. (p.s. yours will taste 100000 times better).

  13. Wow! This was a very easy do it yourself guideline. First off, it isn't complicated and it seems very simple. I could probably cook it right now if I had all the ingredients. I personally have never had curry, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. Very descriptive, to the point and looks simply delicious. The pictures were a good touch, which gave me an understanding of how things should look. I look forward to eating some curry down the line. Good job!

  14. Oh my goodness you are making me so hungry, your curry looks amazing and I can just eat my computer screen right now. Thanks for the detailed instructions and easy-to-follow organization. I will definitely be referring back to this if I'm ever in the mood for curry and happen to have the ingredients on hand!

  15. This is great! Curry is fantastic; I always ordered it, but never really knew what I was eating. However, now I do, and I have you to thank for that. It doesn't seem so complicated to cook. I might actually try it, if i can ever find the ingredients. The instructions are written so directly and straightforward that anyone can really follow along. Good job.

  18. Arvind! Curry sounds so good right now! This instructional cooking guide of yours is very-detailed and straight to the point. I like how the steps are easy to follow and the fact that you added pictures made it better! The final picture of the curry made my mouth water. I personally can't cook. I tend to burn everything. I'm just going to show my mother this guide so that she can cook it. haha. Great job! I really enjoy reading instructional food guides!

  21. Nice guide Arvind , Dropping the culinary bombs on us indian style! Overall very nice , but the clarifications in steps 4-5 were pretty confusing and could use some clearing up, perhaps compress the different times into step 5 and taking them out from step 4 would do. otherwise i really liked it and hope to try this recipe out!

  23. As one of the many people who request that you make some curry on a daily basis, I can now see why you would refuse. Making curry seems difficult to make because you need to fine tune things as you continually make it. So thanks Arvind for finally educating me on the nuances of curry making, I will probably stop asking you to make it now that I have no excuse to try and make it myself.

  24. I'm going to go out and fetch these ingredients so I can make it for myself. The recipe is very clear and concise so I should have no problem cooking it. Thanks for the great recipe!

  31. I've never tried to cook curry before, maybe i'll follow your Chicken Curry guide. Does this also apply with other types of meat of some sort? With the same ingredients and such? Other than that, nice step-by-step guide, the high definition photos are also interesting.

  32. You are truly heaven's sent Arvind. Additionally, you made my mouth water and my stomach grumble. Thank you for the step-by-step process. The detailed explanation made it extremely easy to understand the instructions. Your introduction to the recipe also helped me understand its background and what I'm making too! Thanks a bunch, namesake!

  33. Being Asian, I've had my fair share of curry. But I can say, in disappointment, that I have NEVER had Indian curry. Thank you so much Arvind for giving me the opportunity to try it with this recipe of yours. I appreciate your attention to detail and precision. Your steps are pretty foolproof and I am so thankful for that because knowing me, I would probably mess up on the first step. Overall great job. And also, I understand that you shared this recipe so we could make it ourselves, but I would much rather prefer that you make it instead lol.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hahaha how did I guess that you would write an instructional article in how to make curry? Anyways, this is a really thorough guide in how to make the curry we all bugged you to cook for us. Now we can leave you alone and make it ourselves! Good job! :D

  44. Reading this while I was hungry was definitely not a good idea lol. I really enjoyed reading this, your directions were super clear and the pictures were a great visual aid to your piece. I'm glad you used your food choice as something from your culture, it added a unique touch to this how-to post. I will be sure to try it out sometime!
