    About Aloo Chicken Curry Recipe

    Aloo, a South Asian term for potatoes, found in the names of a number of dishes. Simple Aloo chicken Curry, Aloo gobi, potatoes and cauliflower. Aloo gosht, potatoes and meat in shorba. Easy Aloo mutter, potatoes and peas in tomato gravy.

    Aloo Chicken curry combines the goodness of potatoes with the meatiness of chicken, making it a must-have for chicken and potato fans.

    Chicken curry, also known as curry chicken, is a dish from the Indian subcontinent. It is widespread in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. A typical Indian subcontinent curry consists of chicken stewed in an onion-and- tomato-based sauce flavoured with ginger, garlic, tomato puree, chilli peppers, and a variety of spices, which may include turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cardamom. Outside of South Asia, chicken curry is frequently made with curry powder, a pre-made spice mixture.

    Now talking curry, it is quite basic one..A simple curry made with onion, tomatoes and spices and the curry is thickened with coconut. You can leave out the coconut if you want, because the aloo will make the curry thick on its own. I hope you will love this as much as we do and let me know if you try it someday.

    Ingredients for Aloo Chicken Curry

    Potatoes :
    It was introduced to India by Portuguese sailors in the early 17th century, and British colonists spread its cultivation to North India. The potato is one of the most important commercial crops grown in the country.

    Potatoes are high in fibre, which can help you lose weight by keeping you fuller for longer. Fiber can help prevent heart disease by maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Potatoes are also high in antioxidants, which help to prevent disease, as well as vitamins, which help your body function properly.

    Onion:
    Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.

    Tomatoes:
    Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. Tomato flavour is also known as classic tomato flavour or old-fashioned tomato flavour in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.

      Hi, Would love to try this recipe. Have some questions. What is the size of the pressure cooker used in this recipe? How many whistles do you keep it for? When I cook potato with chicken in a pressure cooker it always gets overcooked and mashed up and changes the taste of the curry. How did your potato retain its shape? Thanks.

      @AnonymousI have used a 7 liter pressure cooker. And you have to cut the potatoes into big cubes. And i have mentioned the whistle and cooking time in the written part of the recipe

      Hi Aarthi
      Can I use coconut milk instead of exclude it altogether? And I don't own a pressure cooker 🙁 so in a normal pot how long should I simmer the curry? Thanks and your recipes are amazing!

      Hello Aarthi can I substitute coconut paste with coconut milk or even exclude it altogether?

      @JOANN DAVIDu can cook this chicken curry in a regular pot, just simmer it for 35 to 40 mins till chicken is cooked completely. Once it is completely cooked, add in coconut milk or coconut paste and simmer it for 5 to 8 mins.
