Butter Chicken Curry with Gian Jeffers
“Meet Gian Jeffers, who comes to us from Durban, where he attended Clifton College. In a short time, Gian has grown exponentially, and I enjoy witnessing the way he takes on more every day. ”
This industry demands continuous multi-tasking and I impress upon the students that the responsibilities they undertake will determine their positions in a kitchen. My drive has always been about being proactive rather than demanding a bigger pay cheque. Remuneration will be determined by their commitment and the duties they shoulder.
At Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine, Gian Jeffers has encountered an experience “that not many professions can compare with”. He has found “remarkable talent and everyone wanting to do their best”. To satisfy his vision, he was looking for a career that would gratify his creativity. “I couldn’t have asked for a more challenging and rewarding course,” he says.
Gian has chosen to share his butter chicken recipe. Serve it to your family and friends – they are sure to be impressed. “In the Jeffers family we relish a good curry - and our absolute favourite is butter chicken,” he says, smiling at the thought of this dish. “The creaminess of the sauce, combined with aromatic spices, is a mouth-watering combination, and a family favourite. At home we take turns to make our own variation. Mine is the best!”
I can recommend Gian’s butter chicken – a dish that wasn’t served very often when I was growing up. My mother made the Durban-styled, South-India curries.
