Creamy, velvety, spicy – this is how a creamy curry from Spoonsparrow tastes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 cm)
  • 3 onions
  • 100 g yogurt
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch Cinnamon powder
  • 1 pinch ground cardamom
  • 0.5 tsp paprika (sweet)
  • 400 g peeled tomatoes
  • Salt
  • 800 g chicken breast fillets (ready‑to‑cook, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp ghee (or butter)
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • vegetable broth (as needed)
  • 2 tbsp toasted almond slivers
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • fresh coriander for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel and finely dice the garlic, ginger, and onions. Mix garlic, ginger with yogurt, Garam Masala, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, paprika, tomatoes, and ½ tsp salt well.

  2. 2.

    Wash, pat dry, and cut the chicken breasts into bite‑sized pieces; place in a large bowl. Pour the yogurt sauce over them, mix, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (best overnight).

  3. 3.

    Heat ghee in a tall non‑stick pan, add onions and sauté for 3 minutes until lightly golden. Add the chicken‑yogurt mixture. Stir in coconut milk; thin with a little vegetable broth if desired. Simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes, then stir in almonds. Finish with Garam Masala, salt, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and honey. Garnish with coriander and serve.
