Is Food Cheaper in Australia or New Zealand 🤔

Making a Fijian Chicken curry with the incredible @alicetayloreats to compare supermarket food prices between Australia and NZ!

RECIPE:

Ingredients:
• 4 onions, diced (a food processor can help)
• 3 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated or finely chopped
• 2 tbsp oil (e.g., vegetable or sunflower)
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds (instead of fennel seeds)
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp turmeric
• 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
• 1 kg chicken nibbles or bone-in chicken pieces
• 1 can tinned tomatoes
• Optional: water or chicken stock (if needed, for sauce consistency)
• 1 1⁄2 cups rice

Method:
1️⃣ Prep the onions:
Dice 4 onions. Use a food processor if you’d like to save time.
2️⃣ Toast the spices:
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp mustard
seeds and 1 tsp cumin seeds, followed by 2 tbsp curry powder and 1 tsp
turmeric. Stir and fry for about 2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
3️⃣ Cook the aromatics:
Add the diced onions, 3 sliced garlic cloves, and the grated or finely chopped ginger.
Season with a good pinch of salt. Cook on medium-low for at least 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Add a small splash of water if the mixture starts to stick.
4️⃣ Add chicken and tomatoes:
Stir in 1 kg chicken nibbles (or other bone-in chicken) and 1 can of tinned
tomatoes. Season again with salt to taste.
5️⃣ Simmer:
Cover the pan and simmer on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes
will create a rich sauce. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a splash of water or
chicken stock to loosen. #newZealand #Aotearoa #Australia #FoodPrices
