Curry for Jana

Yup, my curry would be considered as primitive by the experts and erm, Indians. 🙂 That’s because I use the ready paste I buy in Waitrose for 2 quid. Maybe one day I’ll make my own curry from scratch, for now however we enjoy a quick and very tasty version, which I made for Janka this time, as she came with a very brief visit.

A large onion gets chopped, fried on olive oil, then I add the paste and fry it briefly just to bring out the flavour. I then add some chopped chicken and whatever veggies I fancy, sweet potato is a must though, some mange tout as well, a courgette might be a good idea, cherry tomatoes. I discovered coconut cream, which gives the dish nicer body than the coconut milk, whether it’s better for you or not, does not exactly deprive me of my sleep at night. 🙂

I let it all simmer for about 40 minutes until the sweet potatoes are well cooked and are nearly falling apart. Then it’s just the generous amount of coriander left to top it all up, love my coriander in every amount, might have mentioned once or twice…

I serve it with nice and simple rice. And love it!!!
