SO…here is my take on Cape Malay chicken curry….make the powder and use in another dish. It too is divine. This was created for a private Thermomix lesson I did for a South African client who was a bit over the bland curries that are out there in Thermomix land! This is not bland. Rest assured!
Oh, and should you or anyone you know need a private thermomix lesson, just shoot us an email. We will happily oblige, negotiable rates…and I am willing to travel…France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Fremantle….you name it, I’ll pack my curry powder and go there…when I get home again that is.

Do
- 1
Curry Powder;
- 2
Place all ingredients into dry fry pan and cook a medium high heat until just smoking, this will prevent any bitterness from the unroasted mustard seeds!
- 3
Allow to cool before milling 2 min/speed 8.
- 4
Place into airtight jar until use…but use quickly as flavours will not stay as fragrant after about 4-6 weeks.
- 5
Chicken Curry;
- 6
Place curry powder, garlic, onion, ginger and EVOO into Thermomix bowl and chop 6 sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of bowl and saute 5 min/Varoma/speed 1.
- 7
Add tomatoes, Chicken Stock powder, carrots, sweet potato, sugar and curry leaves to Thermomix bowl and cook 15 min/100ºC/Reverse/speed 1. Check that sweet potatoes are done, you should cut them quite small and evenly for this timing.
- 8
Add chicken to bowl and cook 5-7 min/100ºC/Reverse/speed 1. Add lemon juice and stir through 3 sec/Reverse/speed 1.
- 9
Allow to rest for about 10 minutes either in Thermomix bowl or insulated serving bowl before serving garnished with coriander leaves accompanied with rice or flat bread or both. I love Turmeric yoghurt with this too.
