Heat 4 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large pot over high heat.

Add the chopped onion and garlic; cook until the onion is translucent.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of curry powder and cook briefly.

Add 450 grams of chicken and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and salt to taste.

While the chicken cooks, cut Turkish bread in half and place in an oven at 200 degrees Celsius for a few minutes until crispy on the outside.

Spread some butter on the toasted bread and top with the chicken curry.
