- Heat oil in wok on high heat and fry Cinnamon, star anise and cardamom until fragrant. Then Add shallots, ginger and garlic and fry until fragrant (10 seconds). Then add the curry powder and chicken. Mix well and cook until the oil separates.
- Add the coconut milk, tamarind slices (or juice), green and red chilies, curry leaves, salt (1 tsp) and mix well. [Optional; here is where you also add potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and onions.]
- Bring to a boil and turn the heat down. Cover the wok with a let to let the liquid absorb into the chicken. Cook for 20 minutes and stir every 3 to 5 minutes. Once the gravy has thicken, the dish is done.
The flavor of this curry is really nice and easy to get used to for those who are the curry beginners. This, like all Cape Malay curries, has as many interpretations as there are cooks! Cape Malay curries are usually not biting and strong, but rather an aromatic mixture of spices. Naturally this depends on the individual cooks, and the curry can be made much stronger by adding more chillis (hot peppers). This recipe is my way of cooking a chicken curry, more or less: it took some discipline to.
