White Chicken Curry

INGREDIENTS:

500g chicken – cut into small chucks
½ onion – sliced
3 cloves of garlic – sliced
4 – 5 curry leaves
½ teaspoon fenugreek (Uluhal)
1 teaspoon Sri Lankan raw curry powder
¼ teaspoon Chili powder
½ teaspoon Turmeric
1 ½ cups coconut milk
350ml water
Salt to taste


DIRECTIONS:

Place these all ingredients (onions, garlic, fenugreek, curry leaves, turmeric, chili powder, Sri Lankan raw curry powder & salt) in a medium size saucepan.
Then add the chicken pieces into the saucepan and mix it well.
Then add water and ½ cup of coconut milk and mix it well with chicken mixture.
And now keep the saucepan on high heat for nearly 15 minutes.
Then stir the curry and keep it on heat for nearly another 15- 20 minutes.
When the water level has gone down, it’s the time to the rest of the coconut milk into the chicken, and slowly mixes it well.
Reduce the heat and keep the saucepan on heat for another 15 minutes or the amount of the gravy you want. Taste for salt.
(Stir the curry while you are cooking. If you don’t, the coconut milk will get curdle.)

SERVING:
You can eat white chicken curry with rice, bread, roti, string hoppers or anything you like.

NOTES:
1. If you cut chicken into small chunks, the benefits are, chicken will cook quickly, it will adsorb the spices well and at last the taste is very good.
2. Firstly chicken should cook in the second time milk. (Diya kiri)
3. After you added the coconut milk for the second time, if you keep the curry on very low heat for nearly ½ hour, you will get a nice yellowish oil layer on the top of the chicken curry
