Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 2-3 pieces Fresh Hot Red Chilies, chopped
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Minced Ginger
  • 12 ounces Tomatoes, chopped (or 1 can fire roasted)
  • 2 tablespoons Curry Powder
  • to taste Salt and Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1-2 cups Chicken Stock or Water
  • Cooked Rice
  • Naan
  • Red Chili Flakes
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the bell pepper, chilies, onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, curry powder, salt, and pepper to form a paste. Add a few tablespoons of water or stock if needed to loosen it up.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
  • Add the curry paste and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add the chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until they are lightly browned on all sides.
  • Pour in the chicken stock (1 cup for thicker gravy, 2 cups for a thinner sauce). Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  • Garnish the curry with fresh chopped parsley and serve it over cooked rice. Accompany with naan, red chili flakes, or other garnishes you prefer.

Notes

  • Let the curry rest for a few minutes before serving to help blend and deepen the flavors.
  • Serve with a side of yogurt or raita to cool down the heat and add creamy contrast.
