Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 3 tbsp ghee or oil
  • 3 chicken breasts roughly cut into 1-2 inch chunks
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp madras hot curry powder
  • ½ tsp Melinda’s Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce
  • ⅕ tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Tamarind paste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 14 oz Passata
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 cup Coconut milk or cream
  • Red onion finely sliced
  • Fresh Cilantro

Directions

  1. In a food processor, add onion, garlic and ginger to blend to a paste

  2. Heat ghee or oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add onion mixture and fry for 3-5 minutes, stirring until brown at the edges.

  3. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is white on the outside.

  4. Turn the heat down to medium and add cinnamon, madras curry, paprika, Melinda’s Hot sauce, tamarind paste, and salt and pepper.

  5. Add pasta and tomato puree and bring to boil.

  6. Add coconut milk and stir. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes.

  7. Serve with fresh cilantro and red onion over rice, and of course a few more dashes of Naga Jolokia hot sauce to turn up the heat!

If you can’t find Madras hot curry powder, use regular curry powder and add a little extra Melinda’s Naga Jolokia to get the heat!
