Chicken Garam Masala

CHICKEN GARAM MASALA

Satisfy your spice cravings. If you fancy something exotic that is quick and easy to make, then this lovely Indian dish is a must and only has 6g net carbs per serving. It's one of my go-to favourites and is easily adaptable to transform into delicious Thai curries too (which I'll detail on separate posts).  I serve it with cauliflower rice and keto naan bread, which I'll also detail on separate posts.  It's just like being at your local Indian restaurant!


Ingredients - For 4 Servings

  • 800g             Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 4 medium-sized breasts) chopped 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium     White Onion (chopped)
  • 1 clove          Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium     Red or Yellow Pepper (sliced into strips)
  • 2 tblsp          Coconut Oil (You can use butter or sunflower oil)
  • 2 tblsp          Garam Masala (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp             Tumeric (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp             Caraway Seeds
  • 250ml           Coconut Cream (not creamed coconut or coconut milk)
  •                      Coriander to Garnish
Method
  • In a large frying pan, sauteé the onion and garlic in the coconut oil until slightly softened
  • Stir in the Garam Masala, tumeric and caraway seeds to release the spices
  • Stir in the chicken and keep turning in the pan to cook evenly without browning
  • When the chicken is more or less cooked add the pepper and continue cooking and turning in the pan until the pepper is softened slightly
  • Then add the coconut cream, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the peppers are cooked to your liking.  
  • Adjust your seasoning to taste.
  • I prefer my peppers a little al-dente, but it's personal taste.  Just simmer until you are happy that the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers achieve the level of cooking you prefer.
Serve immediately with a sprig of coriander and your preferred accompaniments. Enjoy!

NOTE: I OFTEN ADJUST MY RECIPES WHEN I FIND NEW INGREDIENTS AND WILL UPDATE THE RECIPES ON MY BLOG ACCORDINGLY (RATHER THAN PRODUCING ANOTHER RECIPE), SO PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE MAKING.
