Resuming my usual quest for interesting recipes, I found Jamie Oliver's fine Chicken Curry adaptation. Of course, I put some of my trial and error suggestions ;)

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• A touch of chilly powder or essence
• 1 handful of curry leaves
• 2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated
• 3 onions, peeled and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 6 small-medium tomatoes, chopped (or one large can tomatoes)
• 1  14 oz can coconut milk
• 4 chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
• Pineapple according to taste
• Bananas (not too ripe) circular slices according to taste
• 1 Maggi cube (Optional)
• Basmati rice

Optional veggies to add: Chopped Carrots, Mushrooms & Peas

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a pan, and add onions and garlic as well as cumin, chilly, mustard and turmeric. Heat until slightly brown
2. Add curry leaves and ginger and simmer for a bit.
3. Add tomatoes and simmer for 5 min.
4. Then add pineapple, coconut milk and the chicken broth if available. Keep until you have a thick sauce.
5. Add bananas and then chicken.
6. Add Maggi and let them simmer for about 10min.
7. Let them cool for about 10 min for flavors to blend.
8. Serve with rice.
