Description

A Pathia curry is a classic Parsi-Indian dish known for its sweet, hot, and sour flavour profile. This adaptation brings the traditional recipe to the modern Ninja Speedi cooker, creating a perfectly balanced curry with tender chicken pieces.

The Ninja Speedi's unique dual-cooking capability allows the curry sauce to simmer while the chicken cooks above, resulting in perfectly cooked meat and a rich, flavourful sauce in a fraction of the traditional cooking time.

Note

Extra Tips: For best results, verify chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.

Marinate chicken in yoghurt for 30 minutes before cooking for extra tenderness.

If sauce is too thick, add water gradually until desired consistency is reached.

For a richer flavour, add a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking.

Enjoy Your Colourful Curry

Presentation transforms this vibrant Pathia curry into a feast for both the eyes and palate.

You'll want to serve your curry in deep bowls or plates with raised edges to showcase the rich, reddish-orange sauce. Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves on top for a pop of green that'll complement the curry's warm colours. For added visual appeal, you can arrange thin lemon wedges around the edge of your serving dish.

Don't forget to pair your Pathia with fluffy basmati rice – it's perfect for soaking up that tangy-sweet sauce.

You can mound the rice on one side of the plate and let the curry flow beside it, or serve it traditionally with the curry ladled over the centre of the rice. If you're feeling fancy, add a few side garnishes like sliced red onions, fresh mint leaves, or a dollop of cooling raita.

Remember to serve your curry while it's still steaming hot – that's when the aromas are at their peak.

You'll know you've nailed it when your dinner guests start reaching for their phones to snap pictures before diving in.
