Fast & Furious Chicken Curry Recipe

This is a perfect weeknight curry that takes under 10 minutes to prepare (and approximately 40 minutes to cook). I thought I’d christen it the ‘fast and furious’ chicken curry as its super-fast and easy to make, and the blend of hot spices and gorgeous red colour makes it ‘furious’ – maybe Vin Diesel would like to try some! To tame down the spiciness, you can replace the chilli powder with cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper will still lend a lovely red hue to your curry making it look ‘furious’, but will have more bark than bite.

For two servings, you need:

-          2 tablespoons sunflower oil

-          2 tablespoons tomato paste

-          1 tablespoon chilli powder

-          ½ tablespoon turmeric powder

-          ½ tablespoon cumin powder

-          1 heaped tablespoon coriander powder

-          Salt to taste

-          500 grams chicken, cut to pieces

-          1 cup water

Whisk together the first six ingredients and rub onto the chicken pieces.

Place the chicken and spice mix into a cooking pot, and add the water.

Cook on low flame for approximately 40 minutes, or till chicken is cooked through and the gravy has reduced to half.

Serve with steaming hot basmati rice.
