Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

750 g (1½lbs) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp butter
1 onion (finely diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tsp minced ginger
10 curry leaves ((optional))
1½ tbsp Garam Masala
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sugar ((optional))
1 cup stock
1½ cups heavy / whipping cream
1-2 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup warm water
10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
2½-3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
  • Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
  • Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
  • Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
  • Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
  • For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
  • Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

CHICKEN AND SHRIMP CURRY RECIPE



Chicken and Shrimp Curry Recipe image

Chicken and Shrimp Curry that's way better than takeout. It's so good you'll be making it twice a week!

Provided by Christina Lane

Categories     Dinners

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium chicken breast
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or canola oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
10-15 large shrimps, raw and cleaned
10 medium spear asparagus
1 small portobello mushroom, or a handful of creminis
1 jalapeños jalapeño, medium
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (dried is fine, use 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon curry powder, hot or regular
1/2 cup milk, or coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons ketchup
rice, hot and cooked, for serving

Steps:

  • First, chop the chicken into bite-size pieces. Next, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken and cook completely. Remove the chicken from the pan, and return the skillet to the heat. Add the shrimp, and cook for 3-4 minutes, do not overcook. Remove from the pan and add to the chicken. While the meat cooks, chop the asparagus (discard the woody bottom stems), dice the Portobello (remove the gills), and dice the jalapeño (decide how hot you want the curry by removing the seeds or not). Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan, and then add the asparagus, Portobello, and jalapeño. Sauté for 1 minute, then sprinkle in the ginger and curry powder. Sauté while stirring frequently until fragrant, about 3 minutes. You are heating and releasing the flavors of the curry powder. Don't rush it. Next, add the milk, chicken broth, and ketchup. Stir to combine, and then let the mixture come to a simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot white rice.

EASY CHICKEN CURRY



Easy Chicken Curry image

Weeknight cooking doesn't get any easier than this endlessly adaptable five-ingredient, 30-minute curry from Mark Bittman. Sauté a pile of chopped onions in a little oil, then stir in curry powder (or red curry paste for Thai flavors). Pour in a can of coconut milk and swirl to combine. Add chicken, simmer until it's cooked through and finish with some chopped tomatoes. And dinner is served! This recipe lends itself to experimentation, so change it up. Be generous with spices. Toss in chopped bell pepper or carrots with the onions. Add a can of drained chickpeas or a generous handful of fresh spinach with the tomatoes. Instead of chicken, try shrimp, duck, turkey, firm fish, tofu, lump crab meat or beef. Just watch the cooking time: Fish, shrimp and crab cook faster than other meats. Also, don't forget to season as you go with salt and pepper.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons canola, corn or other neutral oil
2 large onions, peeled and sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 can unsweetened coconut milk (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp or boneless chicken, cut into 3/4- to 1-inch chunks
1 cup peeled, seeded and diced tomato (canned is fine; cut up and drain before using)
Chopped basil or mint for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large skillet; turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add onions, along with a generous pinch of salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and almost falling apart, 15 minutes or more. Stir in curry powder, and cook, stirring, for another minute or so.
  • Add coconut milk, and cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken, and stir, then cook until done, 3 to 6 minutes. (If you use shrimp, keep in mind that it cooks a little faster than chicken; if you are in doubt about whether chicken is done, cut into a piece.)
  • Add tomato, and cook another minute; adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve over rice, garnished with basil or mint, if desired.
