One dish I only ever seem to have at my mum’s house is my nan’s curry. It’s funny how childhood dinners never quite taste the same once you’ve got your own home.We recently had it whilst visiting, and after a few messages asking how to make it ,I thought: I’ve got to let you all in on the recipe.
Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it’s also so simple to make. It’s one of those recipes that has been passed down, loved by each generation, and now my children are enjoying it just as much as I did growing up.
Ingredients
500g chicken wings
50g curry powder
6 salad tomatoes, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
A little water (to make stock)
Method
First, marinate your chicken wings with curry powder. Once coated, brown them off until golden, I pop mine in the air fryer for 20 minutes. Add a little water to create a little stock.
Next, slice your vegetables. I use six salad tomatoes and one whole cucumber, but you can use more or less depending on how much sauce you want. The beauty of this dish is that the cucumber and tomato break down in the oven, creating a lovely, rich sauce that coats the chicken.
Now, add your sliced vegetables to an ovenproof dish, then stir in your chicken wings along with the stock. Mix it all together well.
Pop the dish into the oven at Gas Mark 5 / 200°C and let it cook gently for two hours. Give it a stir about halfway through to make sure everything is together nicely.
Once it’s ready, serve it up with rice and enjoy.
I can’t tell you just how delicious this curry is. We’ve been having it for as long as I can remember, and it’s one of those meals that is so family friendly and affordable too.
Adding this to my must-cook list! Love a good, no-fuss family recipe that’s full of flavor!
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a bit of nostalgic home cooking can you? A chicken curry is such lovely comfort food and this one sounds super simple to make.
ReplyDeleteI make curry quite a lot at home. The kids love it so it's always a fail safe tea. I've never thought to add cucumber though! This is so interesting. I'll have to give it a try next time. I'm all for hidden fruits and veggies in food!

It's always so interesting the dishes you associate with a particular person's house. This seems quite simple to make so it must be nice being able to cook it at home yourself x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I lovea good curry, and this one sounds amazing. You can't beat Grandma's cooking!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderfully tasty curry. I've had cucumber placed on top for decorative purposes but never incorporated in a curry. That sounds quick and easy to make x

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of making homemade chicken curry! Thank you for sharing your families recipe.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since we had chicken curry and this one looks really good. We normally just add potatoes to our curry but will try tomatoes and cucumber next time. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
