Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 300g chicken (boneless)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 onion
- 3-4 mini bell peppers
- 5-6 baby corns
- 2-3 tangerines
- 3 blocks Japanese-style solid curry roux
- 500ml water
- 1 container Greek yogurt (approx. 80g)
- A pinch of pepper
Recipe 🍳
- Melt unsalted butter in a heated pan. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown, especially the skin side, to develop flavor. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the onion along the grain to facilitate quick caramelization.
- Cut the mini bell peppers and baby corn into bite-sized pieces or rings.
- In the same pan used for the chicken, add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn a pleasant brown color and release their sweetness.
- Wash the tangerines thoroughly, cut them into 6-8 wedges with the peel on, and add them to the pan along with the bell peppers and baby corn. Sauté briefly to awaken their aroma.
- Add water and curry roux blocks, stirring until the roux dissolves completely. Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the ingredients are tender.
- As the curry begins to thicken, cut the seared chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the pot. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is tender.
- Finally, stir in the entire container of thick Greek yogurt until well incorporated into the curry sauce, adding creaminess.
- Turn off the heat, season generously with pepper to taste, mix well, and serve hot with rice.
- Sear the chicken until golden brown in butter and set aside.
- Sauté sliced onions, then add chopped vegetables and tangerines (with peel) and sauté briefly.
- Add water and curry roux, and simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
- Add the seared chicken and Greek yogurt, simmer briefly, and finish with pepper.
Cooking tips 💡
- It is essential to wash the tangerines thoroughly and use them with the peel on. As they cook, the peel will break down, infusing the curry with a subtle and sophisticated aroma.
- Adding crisp baby corn instead of carrots to the curry provides a pleasant textural contrast that remains even after sitting, adding an element of fun to the dish.
