Savta’s curry chicken

Clean the chicken and remove the blood from the chicken breast. Heat oil in a cooking pot or deep pan. When hot fry the shallots, garlic, ginger, cinnamon and cloves till fragrant. Slow down fire and add the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili powder. Fry the ingredients gently without burning for three minutes, pour the water into the mixture and stir till mixture well blend. Add the chicken into the kari mixture, stir till chicken absorb in and add the chicken cube and salt. Cover and cook till chicken is tender. When chicken is almost tender add the coconut milk or cream and lemon juice. Stir occasionally to prevent from burning. When the kari is cooked if there is oil on the surface scoop the oil away. Garnish the coriander leaves on top of kari before serving. Serve the kari with cooked white rice and cucumber salad.
