Curry chicken and Rice recipe
October 24, 2019 by TLO in Cooking

I am going to give another recipe a go, and see how we get on. This one was cobbled together slightly chaotically, but was a good experiment in making Chicken Curry whilst camping.

Having fallen in love with my cast iron Camp Oven I have realised how lacking my kitchen equipment is, I am now on a mission to develop my camp kitchen, and to develop some proper recipes that make sense and are useable. This recipe whilst delicious lacks a bit of detail, so you need to use some creative licence to add your own take on  this….

Recipe

Serves 6 blokes

Chicken Legs
4 piece
Thighs if you can get them
Garlic Puree
2 Spoons
Real is a hassle when you are camping
Ginger Puree
3 spoons
maybe 4
Gara Masala
2 spoons
Curry Powder
2 spoons
Mexican Tomato Salsa Dip (For crisps...)
Half a pot
I left the Tomato Puree behind
Lemon
1
Juice off
Olive oil
50ml
Basmati Rice
3 handfuls
More if you are hungry
Peas and Carrots
1 Can
Throw out the brine/ Sauce
Coriander
1 Bunch
Water
3 Cups
Naan Bread
4
Warmed on the lid of Camp Oven
  1. Chuck a Spoon of curry powder, a spoon of Gara Masala powder, a spoon of ginger and a spoon of Garlic into a bowl or Tupperware and mix it all up. Add the Chicken and set it aside to marinade while you complete step 2.
  2. Heat up 50ml of oil, add the chopped onion in a heavy pan with a bit of Gara Masala and Curry powder. Soften the onions in the oil.
  3. Add the chicken and all the sauce into the pan skin side down. Brown it all off nicely. Remove and set it aside while you complete step 4
  4. Add a 50ml more oil, a spoon of garlic and Ginger and the lemon juice to a pan. Add the rice and Tomato sauce.
  5. Add the water and simmer for about 12 mins.
  6. Add the chicken back in and mix in Coriander
  7. Serve.

The problem with Googling a recipe in the supermarket is I rarely retain the details, so when I get home or in the case of this recipe the middle of bloody nowhere I’d forgotten which page I was looking at and exactly what the recipe said.

Despite having not packed all ingredients required I made the most delicious and particularly easy Chicken and Rice curry. The key was my larder was reasonably well stocked, so I was able to cobble things together, the recipe here is what I actually made with notes about what it should have been.

Mine was better than the original

Who knew bird watching could be so fun. A weekend trip covering 1,000kms of Portugal taking in a wetland area near Tomar (that was dry) and a full weekend in the Serra de Estrella exploring the epic scenery before heading home via the coast.

We did over 100kms off the road and never saw a single other person, forestry tracks, steep hills, scenery, scenery, scenery but not on bloody interesting bird. Lots of sparrows.

Bird watching might not be for me, but driving to epic places is very high up the list of awesome things to do.

After way too long I found myself in my happy place - the wide open dunes of Qatar with great mates on an incredible morning. The dunes were totally empty, the sun was baking hot and I was christened “three tyre Tom” after multiple wheel changes following some enthusiastic driving.

After a little silence on insta there has been some breeding, now there are three!! Ventura will always have a special place in my heart, but now with Dudley the Series nearing completion suddenly selling him feels very hard, maybe too hard? The newest recruit, Roger the Range Rover is currently undergoing a conversion to become @guinchoracing first race car ready for 2026 inaugural rally season (watch this space)

Day 6 - final race day, a complex day focussed on careful navigation. We started by cocking it up from the start when I entered yesterday’s start line into the GPS…so we were late for the briefing and got penalised before we even began.

We set off to be the fastest, as have decided that the rules are for sissies, but still managed to miss a few checkpoints and finish rather unimpressive 30th today. (Still fastest time to finish!)

Insane drive North to Rabat, over the snowy Atlas Mountains through a blizzard. Our windscreen wiper broke on day 1 so I had to MacGyver some bungee cord and a rope into a makeshift wiper. Somehow it held and we made it across the mountains and snow storms and into extraordinary rolling green countryside. Breath taking scenery mixed with mental Moroccan drivers skidding into ditches around us.

Only a casual 12 hour journey home in the rain tomorrow to finish this epic adventure.

Day 5 - a rally special stage around Erg Chebbi dunes. Slightly less challenging terrain meant we had a super fast somewhat terrifying run today. Over taking from 12th all the way to the front, I have never felt closer to being in an actual rally car in my life. Totally awesome and brilliant fun, sideways, jumping, power sliding our way through the dunes and gravel tracks. 

The car ran beautifully and I can’t imagine how she survived the brutal thrashing the speed we gave her, poor thing! We smashed the competition today finishing a massive 8mins ahead of all cars in the whole raid. Sadly we still got caught speeding 4 times, so placed 13th despite being the fastest. 

Stupid rules, we obvs win on lad points.

Day 4 - Our fastest day so far, no car trouble, only one pee stop and a great track that took us through mountain passes, gravel plains and soft sandy routes. Superb fun with no wind and no sand storms!

Longest single dune climb I have ever done (7km) of slow incline up a big sand monster, car started to struggle near the top but made it no problem.

Awesome technical dune section that allowed us to pass the whole pack and meant we finished in first place, but sadly a navigation error (my fault) meant we missed a Waypoint and placed 12th. Maybe tomorrow with a day of dunes might bring a top ten place!
