Description

This unconventional Indian-style curry blends traditional spices with the surprising sweetness of Coca-Cola to create a rich, glossy sauce that clings perfectly to tender chicken. The dish balances the heat of curry powder with the tartness of diced apples and the natural sweetness of raisins, resulting in a complex flavor profile that is both comforting and exotic. It is an excellent choice for weeknight dinners when you want something different but easy to prepare. The chicken is poached for maximum tenderness, then simmered in the aromatic sauce until it absorbs all the flavors. Serve over fluffy rice and garnish with your favorite condiments for a customizable, satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the chicken pieces and place them in a pot of boiling salted water with a few celery tops.
  2. Cover and simmer the chicken for about 1 hour, or until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the chicken and strain the broth, reserving the liquid.
  4. Bone the cooked chicken and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces to measure about 2-1/2 cups.
  5. In a skillet, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat.
  6. Add the diced apple, sliced onion, and curry powder, sautéing for 5 minutes until softened.
  7. Stir in the raisins, 1 cup of the reserved chicken broth, and the Coca-Cola.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the coffee cream or evaporated milk, stirring until smooth.
  9. Add the flour mixture, salt, and white pepper to the onion and apple mixture in the skillet.
  10. Stir constantly and cook over low heat until the sauce is thick and creamy.
  11. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  12. Fold the cooked chicken pieces into the sauce to coat evenly.
  13. Transfer the curry to a covered container and chill overnight if making ahead, or proceed to reheat.
  14. Reheat the curry gently in the top of a double boiler over hot water, stirring occasionally.
  15. Serve the warm curry over hot cooked rice.
