I went through a phase of trying to make as good a curry as you can get from a takeaway, I am still searching for a recipe for the ever elusive South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken! However on my curry journey I came across a few recipes which are complete winners, one of which is the recipe I am about to show you.<\/p>\n
Now I am not sure where I could put this recipe as it could easily be a good and a bad recipe, I guess it depends on what you would use it in (mine went into an exceptionally calorific curry). I am not going to give syn values at the moment because I can\u2019t be bothered but if anyone wants me to please just let me know and I will update it.<\/p>\n
Serves: 4-6 people<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 600g Chicken \u2013 4 or 5 breasts You can see the ingredients below<\/p>\n Chop the chicken breasts into bite size pieces and place in a bowl. Then mix in 2 tbsp of lemon juice to the chopped chicken and leave for 15 mins<\/p>\n Meanwhile mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl (including the additional 2 tbl lemon juice) Add the chicken to the spice mixture , cover and leave in fridge for 2 hours minimum. I went for 24 hours.<\/p>\n Thread the chicken onto skewers making sure to leave a small gap between each piece <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I went through a phase of trying to make as good a curry as you can get from a takeaway, I am still searching for a recipe for the ever elusive South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken!

\n1 heaped tbsp Pataks tandoori curry paste (the KEY ingredient as it includes lots of tamarind)
\n1 tsp mint sauce (Could use reduced sugar one to make it free)
\n1 heaped tsp garlic paste
\n1 tsp ginger paste
\n2+2 tbsp lemon juice (Jiff is ok)
\n1\/2 tsp chilli powder
\n1 dsp spice mixture (equal parts ground coriander, turmeric, garamasala, curry powder).
\n1\/4 tsp red food colouring
\n1 lvl tsp methi
\n1 lvl tsp salt
\n2 tbl veg oil \u2013 Could leave out also
\n3 tbl water<\/p>\n
\nAs you can see I pretty much buggered up this montage, my first time and I didn\u2019t realised it was saving all the changes. Oh well you live and learn.<\/p>\n
\nPlace the skewers onto a tray, preferably one that is deep so the chicken is suspended.
\nPlease the tray with the chicken into a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees celcius, and turn after about 10 mins
\nCook for a further 5 mins and remove a piece to check it is cooked. Once the chicken is cooked remove from the skewers and serve as is or add to any curry that you like.<\/p>\n
