Chicken, Squash and Chickpea Curry

This curry was so delicious and comforting, just as a curry should be. This is heart-warming comfort food at its best.

Ingredients

4 tbsp sunflower oil
400g skinless chicken breasts or thigh fillets, cut into bite sized chunks
2 medium onions, diced
100g Shemin’s Indian, Goan or Massaman Curry Paste
400g chopped tomatoes
250ml water
300g pumpkin or squash prepared weight, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
400g can chickpeas drained and rinsed
Juice of half a lime or lemon
Salt to season
2 tbsp chopped coriander

Method

1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large pan and fry the chicken for 2-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside, draining off any excess liquid.

2. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onions until golden brown – about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, stir in Shemin’s Curry Paste and cook gently for 1 minute.

3. Add the chopped tomatoes and water and then stir in the pumpkin or squash and chickpeas.

4. Cover the pan and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until the pumpkin or squash is tender.

5. Season to taste, stir in lemon or lime juice and chopped corriander.

Serve with Shemin’s Indian Breads and / or boiled rice.

Tips:

  1. You can easily make this curry vegan, by omitting the chicken and adding more vegetables or a chicken alternative like quorn.
  2. You can use our Seafood Indian Curry Paste in this curry for a great flavour. Although this paste is used to enhance seafood (no actual seafood in the paste), it works extremely well with vegetarian and chicken curries!
