C46 Chicken Malayan

In BIR's (British Indian Restaurants) this is a very mild, creamy curry with a fruit addition. This offering is adapted from a curry of Malaysian origin and uses Mango Pulp for a delicious fruity flavour. If a more creamy version is prefered, a little cream or more yogurt can be added.

Ingredients

For 1	Continued...
1 tbspn oil	¼ tspn salt
1 portion c41 malayan spice mix	20 gm creamed coconut block
½ tspn hot chilli powder	3 tbspn yogurt
300 ml c46 curry base sauce (see note 1)	50 ml mango pulp (see note 2)
1 portion c41 pre-cooked chicken	50 - 70 gm mango slices (optional) (see note 3)

Preparation

Grate the creamed coconut block.

Cooking - about 8 min

Heat the oil in a wok or heavy pan and cook the c41 malayan spice mix and chilli powder for ½ min, adding some c46 base sauce if needed to prevent drying and burning.
Add 80 ml of c46 base sauce and cook, stirring regularly, for 2 min, adding c46 base sauce as needed to prevent drying.
Add the chicken, salt, and 80 ml of c46 base sauce and cook, stirring regularly, for 3 to 4 min, gradually adding c46 base sauce and cooking until the sauce consistency is dryish.
Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut and optionally the mango slices and cook for 1 min.
Stir in the yogurt and cook for 1 min.
Turn the heat to low, stir in the mango pulp, heat through and serve immediately.

Serving

Serve with rice and optionally garnish with a little freshly chopped coriander.

Notes

(1) Dilute the 300 ml of c46 base sauce with 200 ml of water and heat before use. If defrosted from frozen the base sauce can be warmed and briefly blended to reconstitute the colour and consistency.
(2) Pineapple chunks can be used instead of mango pulp, but use the mango if at all possible.
The (sweetened) Mango Pulp (NATCO brand) can be purchased from some supermarkets or any Indian outlet. (Unused Mango Pulp can be frozen in suitable quantities for future use.) This is a delicious full flavoured product.
(3) The Mango Slices can be purchased from many supermarkets. These have far less flavour than the mango pulp but add a textural difference but are not essential to this recipe.
