    Tomato Chicken Curry Recipe

    Each weekend hubby gets chicken for lunch, i will be looking for new recipes to try. This is one recipe which i came up with. This has tomatoes and chillies as dominant flavour and the taste was just yum.

    About this Recipe

    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.

    Onions and tomatoes serve as thickeners in any curry. The smaller the pieces of onion you chop, the thicker your gravy will be. The best way to make the curry is with finely sliced or chopped onions, which will result in a thick and rich curry.

    Ingredients for Tomato Chicken Curry

    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.

    Cumin Powder :
    Cumin is a key ingredient in Indian curries and chutneys. The spice is also delicious in rice dishes, stews, soups, breads, pickles, barbecue sauces, and chilli con carne. Cooking with cumin should be done with caution because its flavour can easily overpower a dish.

    Turmeric Powder :
    The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty.
