Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- butter as needed
- plain yogurt as needed
- 1/2 carrot
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups tutbap
- dried cherries as needed
- cashew nuts as needed
- sunflower seeds as needed
- a little gochugaru
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 spoon flour
Recipe 🍳
- Finely mince the onion and garlic. Chop the dried cherries and cashew nuts into appropriate sizes so they retain texture, and set aside with the tutbap and sunflower seeds.
- Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the minced garlic and onion. Add salt and gochugaru, and slowly stir-fry until the savory and spicy aroma rises.
- Add the prepared tutbap, chopped nuts, and dried fruit, and stir-fry over heat until golden and crispy texture is maximized, then set aside separately.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, and thinly slice the carrot.
- Melt a generous amount of butter in a clean pan, add the prepared chicken breast and stir-fry. Add a pinch of salt and 1 spoon of flour, and stir-fry evenly.
- When the outside of the chicken is cooked, add the plain yogurt and prepared carrot, and simmer while stirring well to prevent clumping.
- Add the curry powder and a little water, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the curry sauce thickens and bubbles.
- Lay a generous amount of the crispy stir-fried tutbap on the bottom of a wide bowl, and pour the finished hot and creamy butter chicken curry on top to finish.
- Stir-fry minced onion and garlic, then add tutbap, nuts, and dried fruit and stir-fry together to make a savory and crispy tutbap topping.
- Melt butter in a pan, stir-fry chicken breast, then add flour, yogurt, carrot, curry powder, and water in order and simmer until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper, then spread the tutbap in a bowl and top with the finished butter chicken curry.
Cooking tips 💡
- When stir-frying the chicken, adding 1 spoon of flour acts as a starch and makes the curry sauce even thicker and smoother.
- The tutbap topping, used instead of rice, absorbs moisture from the curry sauce and becomes soggy quickly, so you must eat it immediately to enjoy its characteristic crispy texture.
