Kitty's Corner

It's ages ago since I posted a recipe here. There are many reasons for that. One of them is that I haven't been feeling as well as I could for a longer period of time now. And even though I love cooking, it's just easier to buy something or have a piece of bread for dinner, instead of cooking in the kitchen.

But! I've missed proper food. And even though I know that some of my regular readers dislike curry, I'll post my latest recipe, because I love curry, and I've missed eating it.

So - ladies and gentlemen - ZRS (Zaphira's Recipe Service) proudly presents:

Zaph's curried chicken with tomatoes
(2-3 servings. Time used in the kitchen: app. half an hour. Difficulty: Easy)

You'll need:

1 large onion
1 tablespoon butter or oil, rape seed oil is good
1½ tablespoon curry, or 2 if you like it hotter
2 chicken breasts
4 tomatoes, or 300-400 grams
1 can of coconut milk, I use the light version of it
1-2 teaspoons of salt
150-200 grams of noodles



Peel the onion and chop it into little bits.


Melt the butter/heat up the oil, and add the onions. Let fry for 3-4 minutes.


Add the curry and let fry for another minute. Stir well while you enjoy the scent of curry that fills the kitchen.



Chop the chicken breasts into bitesized pieces while the onions and curry fry piecefully.


Pour the chicken bits into the pot and fry well while stirring.


Turn the heat down a little bit while you chop the tomatoes into similar sized bits. I usually peel the tomatoes, because I don't like chewing on the skin.



(How to peel tomatoes: Put them into a bowl. Pour boiling water over them. Let rest for a couple of minutes. Pour off the water and tomatoes are now easy to peel: Cut and 'scrape' the skin off, it almost falls off by itself.)

Pour water into a different pot, add a teaspoon of salt, and let boil. This is for the noodles.



While waiting for the water to boil, pour the can of coconut milk into the onions/chicken mix. Stir well, and turn the heat up again. Add the chopped up tomatoes and stir. Let boil quietly.


When the water boils, add the noodles and boil for 5-6 minutes, or as it states on the packet.

When the noodles are finished, you're ready to eat!




Bon appetite - and have a fabuliciuos weekend!
