Ok so this is something I had been craving for a little
while, finally I’m home, find all the ingredient I need available and
I decide why not make some Nigerian curry sauce. I decided to accompany this
sauce with white rice but it also goes great with spaghetti also. So here
it is, white rice and curry sauce. Enjoy!
Ingredients
For the curry sauce
- Potatoes
- Eggs
- Chicken portions
- Frankfurters
- Vegetables (carrot, sweet corn, peas, green beans)
- Red bell pepper
- Green bell pepper
- Habanero pepper (optional)
- Onion
- Curry
- Thyme
- Salt
- Flour
- Salt
- Seasoning cube
How to prepare:
-Peel the potatoes and cut into wedges (I cut mine into four) rinse the potatoes with cold water, place in a pot and add water, the potatoes need to be boiled through this would take about 20-30 mins depending on the size. Strain potatoes.
-Put hard boiled eggs in a bowl filled with iced
water to cool down then peel and keep aside with the potatoes.
-Dice up red and green bell peppers and habanero peppers(wear
gloves while handling habenaro peppers) and frankfurters.
-I used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables here but, if using fresh vegetables make sure to clean and peel vegetables first before cutting into small pieces.
-Bring chicken to a boil, add curry, seasoning cubes, thyme, salt and half of the chopped onions and boil chicken over a low heat till it is completely ready(40-50 mins).
-Take the chicken off the fire and strain the chicken stock retain stock.
- Put a pot on the fire on a low heat and add a little oil, habanero pepper and the other half of the chopped onions, fry till onions are translucent then add half of the reserved stock and bring to a simmer.
-Sieve the plain flour, measure three tablespoons and mix flour with water, till there is a smooth consistency, so there would be no lumps in the sauce. This would serve as a thickening agent.
-Add the flour mixture to the chicken stock and stir until slowly mixing flour and stock add the remaining half of the stock and simmer to cook flour for five minutes, add salt to taste.
-Add the mixed vegetables, the bell peppers and the sliced frankfurters, stir and leave to simmer for five minutes.
-Add cooked chicken portions, boiled eggs and potatoes. Stir and leave to simmer on low heat for ten extra minutes, and remove from fire. Your curry sauce is now ready.
For the rice
- White rice
- water
- salt
- vegetable oil
How to prepare:
- Bring water to a simmer, add the white rice and parboil (usually use two cups of water for every one cup on rice) for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the rice, strain out the water and rinse to remove starch.
-Bring rice back to boil adding extra water, salt and vegetable oil. Boil rice for 30 minutes or until soft and water has completely dried up.
- Serve the rice with the sauce and enjoy.
