Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 frying chicken ((about 3 pounds, cut into serving pieces))
  • 1 cup flour
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 large green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 cups canned tomatoes (chopped)
  • Cooked rice
  • Toasted (silvered almonds)
  • Chutney (optional)

Instruction

  • Put the raisins into a small bowl with very hot water to cover. Let stand while preparing the rest of the recipe.
  • Salt and pepper the chicken well on both sides. Dredge in flour shaking off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in a skillet large enough to fit all the chicken in a single layer. Brown the chicken on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • Pour out the cooking oil and wipe the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the onion, green peppers, garlic and curry powder. Cook and stir until the vegetables are wilted. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture up to the boil and add the chicken pieces. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Drain the raisins and add them to the skillet.
  • Serve with cooked white or saffron rice, toasted almonds and chutney (if desired) on the side.
