Chicken curry recipe


Picture of chicken curry

Chicken curry recipe or lamb curry are very popular in Cape Town as the Cape Malay tradition is still very strong. Curry designates either a mix of spices originated from India that you can buy already mixed or that you can also do yourself; or a dish prepared with the mix of spices.

Curries are a common dish in Cape Town and we can find it on the menu of lots of restaurants. The best curry I've ever had was at the Noon gun restaurant who is situated on top of Bo-Kaap,273 Longmarket Street.

This is an easy dish to make and...eat!

2 kg chicken or mutton or fish pieces

6 peeled and chopped tomatoes

6 potatoes cut in rough pieces

50ml sunflower seed oil

and get some chutney and naans to serve with.
