No clue whether this is an "authentic"
Curry dish. I experimented over the years with this recipe and this is the way I like it.
Ingredients:- 1kg meat (I usually use Chicken or Pork, but Lamb should, for instance, also work fine)
- 300ml of Broth
- 1-2 Spanish Onions
- 1-2 cloves of Garlic
- 1-2 Red Chili Peppers
- 4 spoons of Olive Oil
- 2-4 spoons of spices (either readymade Curry powder or your own mix of Black Pepper, Capsicum, Cardamon, Coriander, Ginger, Cumin, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Fenugreek, Allspice, Clove, what have you)
- 1-2 spoons of Turmeric
- 2-3 Bananas
- 2-3 cooked Peaches
- 200ml unsweetened Coconut milk
Method:- Peel the onions and garlic and hack it into pieces.
- Cut the peppers into rings.
- Cut the meat into pieces and sear it in the oil.
- Give onions, garlic, and peppers together with the spices and a tiny bit of salt to the meat.
- Give the broth to the meat and let it cook for an hour.
- Peel the bananas and cut them, together with the peaches, into pieces before you give them together with the coconut milk and the turmeric to the meat.
- Boil it up for at least 10 more minutes.
- Serve with rice.
