Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast chopped, or use lamb
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 carolina reaper peppers chopped, remember to wear gloves
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes or use equivalent fresh
  • 1 cup chicken stock or use vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice from fresh limes + lime wedges for serving
  • coriander and/or parsley chopped, for serving
  • spicy chilli flakes for serving
  • 2 cups cooked rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Season the chopped chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok to medium heat.
  • Add the peppers and onion. Cook them down about 5 minutes, until the peppers and onions have softened. It's a good idea to cook in a well-ventilated room with carolina reaper peppers.
  • Add the chicken and cook another 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit, until the chicken is mostly cooked through.
  • Next, add in the garlic, ginger and most of the green onions. Cook another minute, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add in the curry powder, paprika, cardamom, turmeric and cumin. Give it a stir.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth and stir. Bring to a quick boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes or more to let the flavors develop, and the chicken to cook through.
  • Serve the spicy chicken curry over prepared white rice, then squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the top.
  • Top with extra green onions, parsley or cilantro, spicy chili flakes and lime slices or wedges.
