Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, breasts or a mix)
  • 2 tsp (10ml) chicken spice
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green or yellow pepper, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) garlic and ginger paste
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) mild curry powder
  • 1 tsp (5ml) ground paprika
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped or grated
  • 1/2 medium cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) cream of chicken soup powder
  • 2 cups (500ml) chicken stock or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pap or rice for serving

Method:

  • Season the chicken pieces with chicken spice.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the chopped onion and green/yellow pepper and cook until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the curry powder and ground paprika. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot. Cook until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pot.
  • Dissolve the soup powder in the chicken stock and add to the pot, bringing the mixture to a boil. Add the cabbage wedges. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve.
