With curry leaves 😋

Original source https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=146246

Not the same as the old recipe we had but similar. Main thing I think to improve this would be to simmer the tomatoes by themselves (swear the old recipe did that). And/or remove the tomato skins like for gazpacho.

Ingredients

  • 6 curry leaves
  • 1/2 tsp mixed onion & mustard seeds
  • 8 medium tomatoes sliced
  • 1 tsp ground corriander
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic pulp (I just use 1 clove, prob good w/more)
  • 675g skinned chicken, cubed
  • 150ml/ 2/3 cups water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds roasted (Skipped because don’t think they were in original recipe)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and add curry leaves and mixed onion and mustard seeds
  • Lower heat and add tomatoes — cook these mofos down to a saucy consistency
