Devils Curry
- 10 whole Fresh Red Chili Peppers
- 10 whole Dried Red Chili Peppers, Deseeded And Soaked In Warm Water Until Needed (or Approximately 6-7 Tablespoons Hot Chili Powder)
- 5 whole Candlenuts (or Cashews)
- 15 whole Red Shallots Or Rose Onions, Skinned
- 6 cloves Garlic, Skinned
- 5 Tablespoons Water, Only If Using Ground Spices Instead Of Fresh (below)
- 1 piece Turmeric, About 2cm, Skinned (or 1 Tablespoon Ground Turmeric)
- 1 piece Ginger, About 2cm, Skinned (or 1 Tbsp Ground Ginger)
- 4 Tablespoons Oil/butter
- 2 teaspoons Mustard Seeds
- 2 whole Large Yellow Onions, Skinned & Quartered
- 4 whole Waxy Potatoes, Skinned & Quartered
- 2 teaspoons Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 whole Chicken, Cut Into Pieces
- Salt, Pepper And Sugar To Taste
- 1 dash Lime Or Lemon Juice
- 1) Grind the first 8 ingredients in a food processor until it turns into a thick, orange-hued paste and set aside.
- Just remember when handling peppers, USE GLOVES.
- I learned that the hard way.
- 2) Heat up the oil (or butter) in a large wok or deep steel pan, over medium-high heat.
- 3) Throw in the mustard seeds and cover immediately.
- Leave them to heat up until they start popping, much like how popcorn pops.
- 4) Pour in the spice paste and stirfry over medium heat until it becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 5) Add the onions and potatoes and let them bubble in there for about 2-3 minutes.
- 6) Add in the chicken and and soy sauce, giving it a good stir while pouring a few tablespoons of water (or milk) in to enable the chicken to stew and cook.
- 7) Turn the heat down so the ingredients simmer.
- Leave it to cook, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- 8 ) Season with salt, sugar and lime/lemon juice to taste and let the sauce evaporate until it becomes thick and serve!
- * I added lady fingers/okra because thats my hubbys favorite veggie.
- You can add sliced eggplant as well or any sturdy vegetable, about 10 minutes before turning off the gas.
- ** This curry is really spicy.
- You can decrease the number of dried chilis as they are the true fiery ones in this recipe.
- The curry is supposed to be slightly sweet, salty and sour... all in one.
