I live in New Zealand and work with a group of hard working Fijian Indian guys. We share food at lunch and often someone brings a lovely gold curry, so I am so glad to finally find this recipe. In that way I can make and surprise them with food from their home land! Originally, I am from South Africa and I always love it when someone foreign makes food from my home; it makes me feel special. Food brings us together!

Dear Nayavuvou, You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed my recipe. Regards Anita.
Just made this curry. Absolutely incredible!! The only thing I didn't catch was when to add the chilli. I ended up just putting it in with the potatoes when I realised it was still sitting on my bench. 10/10. Will be making this again. And again. And again.
Dear emmajcee, Thank you for watching my video. I am so sorry, I forgot to show when I added the chilli. If you are using fresh chilli, you can either add it with the onions, or you can add it with the chicken pieces, but if you are using chilli powder then you can add it with the curry powder. Hope this was helpful. Regards Anita.
Anita: My family loves your fish and chicken curry now too. We just made it tonight. You're a real star in our house! Love from Auckland!
Dear Leon, Thank you. I am glad to hear that your family enjoyed my fish and chicken curry so much. Keep safe. Love from Australia. Regards Anita.

Anita this recipe is very tasty! I made it, and I like the taste of the fennel in it. I've never used fennel before, in chicken curry, but I've used cardamom; it also gives it a lovely flavour.
Thank you Anita for your wonderful recipe. God bless!
Dear Doonwati, You are welcome. Fennel seeds helps with digestion as well. It is good to hear that your curry was tasty. Thank you for watching my video. Regards Anita.

Hi Aunty, do you have a recipe for chicken without masala. I remmber eating it a lot growing up. It was made with tomatoes, pick me up sauce and potatoes sometimes. I dont really know how to make it though
Dear Nazal, Sorry , the only chicken curry without masala that I grew up with was chicken in soya sauce with carrot, celery and plenty of onion. My mum used to make this when we did not feel like eating any type of masala curry. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking yes! This is the one I am thinking of exactly! Do you have a recipe for this on your channel?
Dear Nazal, sorry I haven’t uploaded it yet but I’ll try and upload it soon. Regards Anita.

Will try this. When do you add the chilli?
Dear Bryan, Sorry, I must have accidently deleted the section where I added the chili when editing my video. If you are using fresh chillies, you can add it with the onions or when you add the chicken and if you are using chilli powder then add it when you add the curry powder. Hope you enjoy this recipe. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking Thanks Anita, I used fresh chilies and did add with the onion. Turned out great 😀 just like my Fiji Indian friends mums curry from Ba.
Dear Bryan, I am glad to hear that your curry turned out well. My Mum is from Ba as well. Keep safe. Regards Anita.
Awesome recipe- Can you use meat masala from the store instead of curry powder? Thanks
Dear Tesi, Thank you. Yes, you can use the store bought meat masala for this recipe. If you want to know how to make curry powder I use in my recipes I have already uploaded the video on Homemade Curry Powder. Hope this was helpful. Regards Anita.
Thank you
Dear Wong, You are welcome. Regards Anita.
Hi anita, can you grind the fennel seeds hot?
Dear Mase, Yes, you can if you are using a mortar and pestle. You want to let it cool slightly if using a grinder. Regards Anita.
I miss Fiji so damn much
Dear Yilz, Sorry to hear that you miss Fiji so much. The last time I was in Fiji was in 2001. Regards Anita.
I wanna know how to freeze the cilantro!

can you use the same curry receipe for chicken feet curry?
Dear Flesh, I have only tried pot roasted chicken feet , but you can use chicken feet if you like. When my Mum makes curry using fresh chicken, she always adds the feet , and I must say that they taste amazing. Let me know how they turn out. Regards Anita.

Dear Matai, You are welcome. Hope you enjoy this recipe. Regards Anita.
Mahalo Anita!
Dear Kpop, You are welcome. Regards Anita.
Hello Anita, since I am only one person, I will cook with 500g of chicken. So is it OK for me to just use a quarter of all the other ingredients you have listed?
Dear Double, To get all the flavour in the curry, just half the ingredients otherwise it will be blend. Regards Anita.
Like ur accent...
Dear Narendra, Thank you. I did not know that I have an accent. Regards Anita.
@@anitasguidetosimplecooking wonderful cooking Anita ....
After cooking for so long, is the chicken not over cooked?
Dear Mark, Actually the chicken is juicy and tender. Regards Anita.
How many tablespoons of curry powder I'm cooking the curry now 😂
Dear Jona, the full written recipe can be found in the description, but it’s 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Let me know how it turns out. Kind Regards Anita
Why use curry powder?
Dear Chibi, You can not make curry without curry powder. I use the term curry powder instead of masala for my viewers you do not speak and understand Indian. Homemade spices is called masala while the store bought is called curry powder. The only difference is homemade curry powder does not have any turmeric in it. I always use homemade curry powder in all my curries. Regards Anita.
This is actually NOT Fiji style chicken curry.
We actually cook our spices first to bring it's aroma before we add chicken. And we don't use fennel seed either.
We use garam masala. It's a nice recipe thou.
Dear rose, How can you say that this is not Fiji style chicken curry. This is how my family has been making it in Fiji for over 100 years and as with any curry there are so many variations. Every body has there own recipes and it is up to an individual as to which recipe they prefer and want to make. Regards Anita.
I agree with you but I also like Anita's way of making curry chicken not to bad
