Chicken Curry

Chicken curry (/ˈtʃɪkɪn ˈkʌri/) is a popular dish that originated from the Indian subcontinent. It is a rich and aromatic dish that combines chicken meat with a mixture of spices and herbs.

Etymology

The term "curry" is derived from the Tamil word 'kari' meaning 'sauce', which is usually understood to mean vegetables, meat, or fish cooked with spices with or without a gravy. The term "chicken curry" specifically refers to this dish when made with chicken.

Ingredients

The main ingredients in chicken curry are chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, and a variety of spices. The spices used can vary, but commonly include turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and garam masala. Some versions also include yogurt or coconut milk to create a creamy sauce.

Preparation

Chicken curry is typically prepared by first sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger, then adding and toasting the spices. The chicken is then added and cooked until it is no longer pink. Water, yogurt, or coconut milk is then added, and the dish is simmered until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.

Variations

There are many variations of chicken curry, both within the Indian subcontinent and around the world. Some of these include Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Vindaloo. Each of these dishes has its own unique blend of spices and preparation methods.
