PEANUT CHICKEN CURRY

I love Chicken Curry and this is one made from scratch and so yummy ... most of the ingredients are probably already in your cupboard.

PEANUT CHICKEN CURRY

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks
1/2 Cup Cornflour
3 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large Onion, cut into chunks
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup cooking sherry
2 cubes beef stock
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
3 Tablespoons Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
water to cover
1 cup of coconut milk

Method:

1.  Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium high heat. 
2.  Toss chicken in cornflour and place in frying pan with garlic, onion, salt and pepper. 
3.  Stir, lightly brown chicken all over and softening up the onions. 
4.  Add the Sherry, beef stock and let this liquid reduce a little.
5.  Stir in peanut butter, curry powder and ginger and enough water to cover. 
6.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 30 minutes. 
7.  Stir in Coconut Milk and cook for a further 5 minutes
Serve with Rice or Vegetables
I add vegetables to this curry as well.  I fry up sweet potato to add to this and beans because I usually have plenty, just a tiny bit more liquid to the whole recipe if you add too many other things.
  Don't over use the cornflour or it thickens too much.
