Brian McDermott's winter warmer recipes - as heard on The Claire Byrne Show on RTÉ Radio 1.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 4 chicken breasts, divided into 4 strips
- 50g Garam Masala spice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Knob of ginger, grated
- 250ml coconut milk
- 350ml chicken stock
- Good drizzle of local Rapeseed oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 50g natural yogurt
- Fresh coriander
Method
- Place the oil in a bowl and mix in the garam masala. Place the chicken strips in the bowl and coat with the oil and spice mix. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the red onion. Heat a pan and add a drizzle of oil and lightly fry the red onion, garlic and ginger for 4-5 minutes. Add the cumin.
- Place the chicken in alongside the onions and add all the juices and spices from the bowl. Cook chicken on either side till a golden colour is achieved. Add in the coconut milk and the warm chicken stock.
- Add a bay leaf and simmer, stirring occasionally for 8-10 minutes. Add the yogurt and allow to simmer for 8 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce on a bed of the rice and add chopped coriander.
Brian's Top Tip: If you want more heat add some fresh chilli but remember who you are cooking for and what heat levels they expect. Put chilli oil on the table allows others to heat their own dish up if they wish.
