I'm in the need of a basic recipe, that would include only chicken breasts, rice, milk, salt and pepper, curry powder and oil. and of course the rice...mom made it years ago but wasn't sure now how to make it, and she didn't use any chicken broth or tomato paste...nothing extra like that or garlic....just an all easy basic recipe...thanks much appreciated :)Looking for a basic indian curry chicken over rice recipe?
This is the easiest chicken curry recipe, but I have never actually heard of milk being used, maybe you mean coconut milk?





In a little oil or butter, stir fry some thinly sliced onion. Some ginger %26amp; garlic would be nice too, but that's optional.





Let the onion brown %26amp; then add your spices (salt, pepper, 1-2 tbsp+ curry powder....cumin, red chili powder would also be good to add). Add the chicken pieces %26amp; stir fry until opaque. Add tomato or tomato paste is good at this point. Now add the coconut milk, reduce heat, cover %26amp; simmer 6-8 minutes ---- done! Serve over rice.





Rice: 2 cups water to 1 cup rice, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover %26amp; simmer 10-12 minutes or until done.Looking for a basic indian curry chicken over rice recipe?

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil


2 tablespoons curry powder


1 cup chicken stock or milk


1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper


Directions


cook, over medium heat, curry powder and oil. Immediately add cubed chicken. Cook for roughly 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock or milk, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for approximately 25 minutes.





The rice you speak of is Jasmine rice or Basmati you can buy it at any local grocery store just follow the directions on the bag. Usually 2 cups water to 1 cup of rice.
I am not sure how tasty a chicken curry would be without garlic etc. But if you want to marinate the chicken pieces with the curry powder and leave it for a while. Then saute it in some oil, onions might be a good thing to use and then cover and let it cook. The water from the chicken will make it moist, but you could add some milk if you want to as well.
