\"Best-chicken-Curry-Recipe\"<\/a>It\u2019s that time of year where you just can\u2019t seem to warm up as if the marrow in your bones is frozen. At these times, only a deeply warming spice will do the trick, but sometimes mastering those spices can be tricky. Here are our tips for making a great chicken curry.<\/p>\n

Treat Those Spices With Love<\/h4>\n

The trick to a great curry is a great curry mix. For the best results, use whole, fresh spices and toast them separately in a frying pan over medium heat. You\u2019ll know they\u2019re ready when you can smell their developed flavour.<\/p>\n

Once toasted, remove from the heat and grind to a fine powder in a pestle and mortar or a spice grinder. If you can\u2019t get your hands on whole spices, just make sure that you toast your powder very well when you add them to your aromatic base. Check our guide to spices<\/a><\/strong> here.<\/p>\n

\"Warming<\/a><\/p>\n

Get Your Base Sorted<\/h4>\n

As Italian dishes have the soffrito of celery, carrots and onion, and Cajun-Creole cooking has the \u2018holy trinity\u2019 of peppers, onions and celery, a curry has its own special flavour base.<\/p>\n

A true curry starts with a mixture of finely chopped onion, garlic and ginger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The secret to making a great curry is frying the onion, ginger and garlic until they are caramelised.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

Choose The Best Part of The Chicken<\/h4>\n

Breast or leg isn\u2019t really up for discussion here. The best part chicken cut for a curry is the thigh. It stays moist and has loads more flavour than the breast.<\/p>\n

If you want to develop an even richer, meaty flavour, use bone-in thighs. Just make sure to warn anyone eating the curry and have loads of napkins on handpicking the meat off the bone is (deliciously) messy work.<\/p>\n

Leave The Curry Overnight<\/h4>\n

As with any spiced dish, being allowed to rest overnight vastly improves the flavour. If you\u2019re making curry for a big dinner party, really try and make it the day before. You won\u2019t believe the difference.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Skimp on Spices For Fear of Heat<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re holding back on those spices because you\u2019re worried about the curry being too hot, we have some advice for you. Don\u2019t. The difference between a mediocre curry and a truly great one is that intense spice.<\/p>\n

If you think you\u2019re going to burn your guests\u2019 faces off, simply have an array of sambals on offer. Cucumber raita, chutney and tomato salad are all great ways to cool a hot curry.<\/p>\n
