Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Prepare the Base:

    • Heat oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
    • Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown and caramelized.

  2. Add Flavorings:

    • Once the onions are browned, add Ferns' Ginger-Garlic Paste to the pan.
    • Stir well and cook for a minute until the raw smell of the ginger-garlic paste dissipates.
    • Next, add Ferns' Hot Curry Paste to the pan. Adjust the quantity according to your spice preference.

  3. Cook the Main Ingredient:

    • If making a vegetarian curry, add the assorted vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes on high heat.
    • If making a non-vegetarian curry, add the chicken cubes to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes on high heat until they are lightly browned on the outside.

  4. Simmer the Curry:

    • Once the vegetables or chicken are slightly cooked, reduce the heat to low.
    • Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
    • Cover the pan or pot with a lid and let the curry simmer gently for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender (for vegetarian curry) or the chicken is cooked through (for non-vegetarian curry).
    • Stir occasionally to prevent the curry from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure all the flavors meld together.

  5. Serve:

    • Once the curry is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat.
    • Serve the classic curry hot with steamed rice or warm naan bread.
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves or a drizzle of coconut cream, if desired.
    • Enjoy the delicious and comforting flavors of this classic curry!

Feel free to adjust the quantity of spices and coconut milk according to your taste preferences. You can also customize the vegetables or protein used in the curry to suit your liking.
