Solar Chicken Curry

I guess Thursday is chicken day. This is the third Thursday in a row that I've made chicken in the solar oven. Today I opted for a simple chicken curry. I don't really know much about Indian cooking, and I'm sure any purists out there would be appalled, but I just use Pataks curry paste. I like using chicken thighs because they're moister and make portion control easy. There is really not much to say about this dish. It's just skinless, bone-in chicken thighs, onion, water and Pataks curry paste. When the chicken is ready, add some peas and yogurt to the sauce, and serve over rice.

  1. I am so glad that I found your blog. I started solar cooking a little while ago and I often find myself short on ideas when the sun is getting high. Rice pudding was a definite success, especially according to my son. Plain old potatoes come in handy and I get to decide what to do with them after the fact. I plan to read all your posts tonight :)

    I am in Africa and I am using a very simple cooker. Just a parabolic design with black painted jars for cooking in.

  2. It looks rather watery. Do you think if you just added the curry paste without water that the chicken and onions would have released enough juices to make a thicker sauce?
