Aloo Chicken Curry

The tender chunks of chicken, the comforting presence of potatoes, and the burst of vibrant green peas come together in this delicious curry that promises to delight your taste buds!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 500g diced boneless chicken thighs
  • 100g Shemin’s Indian, Goan, or Massaman Curry Paste
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 2 large potatoes, washed and diced
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 cup thawed frozen peas
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 120g baby spinach
  • A handful of chopped fresh coriander

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over low heat. Sauté onions until golden.
  2. Increase the heat slightly and add the chicken, cooking until browned, then stir in Shemin’s Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and mix, then add the diced potatoes, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until nearly cooked.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes.
  5. Add the thawed peas, season to taste.
  6. Finally, add the baby spinach and cover for 2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Mix everything, serve, and garnish with coriander.

 

Tips:
  • While boneless chicken thighs are recommended for tenderness and flavour, you can use chicken breast if you prefer leaner meat.
  • When browning the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to achieve a nice sear.
  • Dice the potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking. Smaller pieces will cook faster, while larger chunks may require additional time.
  • Chicken Aloo pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, Shemin’s naan bread, or chapatis. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty twist.
