Sanjeev Kapoor is the best
know Indian chef who runs the longest running Indian food show “Khana Khazana”

4-5 clous de girofle
4-5 gousses de cardamome
4 oignons rouges, râpés
1 càs de pâte de gingembre
1 càs de pâte d’ail
½ càc de curcuma
1 ½ càs de coriandre en poudre
1 ½ càs de cumin en poudre
1 càc de piment en poudre
4 tomates moyennes, mixées en purée
1 ½ càc de gros sel
1 càc de garam masala
1 càs de feuilles de coriandre, ciselées
Méthode :
Faire chauffer l’huile et y ajouter la cannelle, les clous de girofle et
les gousses de cardamome.
Ajouter les oignons et les faire dorer.
Y mettre les pâtes de gingembre et d’ail et cuire encore 3 minutes.
Ajouter les poudres de curcuma, de coriandre et de cumin.
Incorporer les tomates en purée et cuire jusqu’à ce que l’huile se sépare.
Ajouter le poulet et couvrir de la sauce.
Additionner une ½ tasse d’eau chaude.
Porter à l’ébullition, puis laisser cuire à couvert au feu doux.
Servir garni de garam masala et de feuilles de coriandre.

Il est superbe ce curry, bien riche et super appétissant ^^ Bonne journée :)
ReplyDeleteOh! How I love Indian dishes! I'll definitely try this at home. My children would love this as well. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice. Green or brown cardamom?
ReplyDeleteThanks :-) Green cardamom (always unless stated otherwise)
DeleteThank you for your reply re the cardamoms. I love Indian food. I took a look at Kapoor's book on Amazon and the reviews it had weren't that good. Did you rate this book highly?
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Bruxelles.....for a few months in St Jose. I went to and Indian restaurant there which was quite good if I remember correctly. I also would visit a shop in Matonge (sp?)....an Asian shop which also had a place to eat Indian food and was very nice but basic. Do you know it? Anyway, I'm enjoying your blog and spent a couple of hours today looking at it and I've only looked at 2012 entries. Will have to book mark it. :-) I live in Wales
Thanks Anonymous. You've stayed just a few hundred meters from my house. The shop you speak of in Matonge is Tandoori Land? This book is a nice book for Indian cuisine, albeit not the best on the topic. It has been conceived and written for the Western market, so it's easy to follow and the recipes work well.
DeleteI can't remember the name of the place as it's almost 10 years ago but was like a corner shop if I remember correctly. I'd love to eat there and then walk up the street to where there were some African bars and have a couple of beers. Small world.
