Ingredients
  • 800 g Chicken Breast
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 2 cup Plain Flour
  • Salt to taste
  • 140 g Panko Crumbs
  • Oil for Frying
  • For the Curry Sauce
  • 2 Large Carrots
  • 2 Medium Onions
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Cubes of Ginger
  • 1 l Vegetable stock or Water
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 cup Full Fat Milk or Coconut Milk
  • 2-3 tbsp Plain Flour
  • Cooking Oil
  • Rice to Serve
Instructions
  1. 1
    Start by cutting the chicken into thin small steak like pieces.
  2. 2
    Break the eggs in a bowl, flour in a second bowl with salt and pepper and the panko crumbs in a third bowl.
  3. 3
    While the oil is heating in a medium sized pan, coat the chicken in flour, egg wash and finally the panko crumbs. Keep a wet hand and a dry hand during this process so that the flour and panko clumps don't travel to other bowls.
  4. 4
    Fry each piece on medium heat in the oil until golden and crispy. Alternatively, place all coated pieces on a lined baking tray, drizzle some olive oil and place in the oven to bake until golden.
  5. 5
    In a food processor, pulse the carrots, onions, garlic and ginger until as small as possible.
  6. 6
    In a pot or a large wok, heat up the cooking oil and sauté the vegetables until soft and slightly caramelised, add the seasoning and allow to become aromatic (5-8 min).
  7. 7
    Add the flour and once mixed with the rest of the ingredients, gently add the stock while hand whisking to smooth out the flour.
  8. 8
    Add the milk, honey and allow to cook on low heat until it thickens and becomes the desired consistency. If too thick, add 1/4 cup of water or broth at a time and if too thin then add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Make sure to whisk so that there are no flour clumps.
  9. 9
    Serve the curry sauce with rice, crispy chicken and salad.
