Questions about Chicken curry
How do you know when the chicken in a curry is cooked through?
Check the thickest piece with a food thermometer: its centre should reach 75 °C. If you cut into it, the meat should be steaming hot all the way through, with no pink centre.
Can you use chicken thighs instead of breast in chicken curry?
Yes. Boneless thighs stay juicy during simmering and are less likely to dry out; cut them into even-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
How do you thicken a chicken curry that is too watery?
Simmer it uncovered until some liquid evaporates, stirring now and then so the sauce does not catch. If the chicken is already cooked, lift it out first and return it when the sauce has thickened.
How long does chicken curry keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container and eat it within two days. Reheat only the portion you need until it is steaming hot throughout.
Can you freeze chicken curry?
Yes: cool it promptly, portion it into airtight containers and freeze. Defrost it in the fridge, then reheat until steaming hot throughout; the sauce may separate slightly, so stir it well.
What do you serve with chicken curry?
Basmati rice is a classic partner; naan or chapati is useful for scooping up the sauce. Add a cooling yoghurt raita or a crisp cucumber salad if you want a fresh contrast.
How much chicken curry is a typical serving?
A portion of about 240 g is a useful guide; it contains 257 kcal and 16 g protein. Rice or bread served alongside adds to the meal.
