| Swahili Chicken |
I adapted this recipe from a book 200 Curries by Sunil Vijayakar - Hamlyn. This is a fabulous book presenting recipes from all over the world and has a great introduction section where it lays out information about different spices for curry addicts like us. It presents recipes in a simple format with variations and beautiful photographs to boot. If you need some curry inspiration or would like to try something a little different, it is a great addition to your cookbook collection.
I tried the Swahili Chicken recipe and it was great! Served with some steamed spinach and leeks, it made for a very healthy dinner. You could also pan fry this chicken or grill it. Another adaption could be to use coconut oil and milk in the marinade to create a thicker sauce. You could also serve with rice or flat bread. Perhaps even serving chilled or warm in a wrap.
