Burmese Chicken Curry
  1. Sprinkle curry powder, salt and turmeric over the chicken and set aside. In a blender or food processor mix onions, garlic, paprika, chilli powder and ginger into a thick paste.

  2. Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the paste over a medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken and turn up the heat stirring for another few minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir for a further 5 minutes. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water (enough to cover the chicken), the lemongrass and fish sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  3. Turn down the heat to low, partially cover the pan and very gently simmer for at least 30 minutes until the chicken is tender.

  4. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes to reduce the sauce. Fish out the lemongrass - check for seasoning and serve!

  5. Garnish the curry with the cilantro, chilli and ginger and serve hot with lots of fluffy Jasmine rice.
