Ingredients
Aromatics
- 1 small Onion thinly sliced
- Coriander Leaves chopped
- Spring Onion Greens for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a pan, combine the potatoes, dry fish, tomatoes, and water.
- Add salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the water has evaporated. This concentrates the flavors of the dry fish and vegetables.
- Transfer the cooked mixture to a mortar and pestle. Mash until it forms a coarse chutney. A mortar and pestle gives the chutney a unique texture.
- Gently fold in the chopped coriander leaves and most of the sliced onions, reserving some for garnish.
- Spoon the chutney into a serving bowl. Garnish with the remaining sliced onions and chopped spring onion greens for a pop of color and freshness.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will ensure even cooking and a nice crust.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
