Main course: Chicken recipe
Chicken Curry (Taste Show)
Ingredients
2 3-pound chickens, cut into serving-size pieces, -- skinned
10 tablespoon - vegetable oil
6 cup - thinly sliced onions
2 tablespoon - finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoon - finely chopped ginger
2 cinnamon sticks
8 cardamom pods
1 tablespoon - turmeric
1 teaspoon - cayenne
2 cup - canned crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon - kosher salt
1 tablespoon - ground roasted cumin seeds or ground cumin
4 tablespoon - chopped cilantro leaves
Directions
1 In a large heavy-bottomed pan, preferably with a nonstick surface, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. When oil is very hot add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and sear until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove chicken to a plate and continue until all pieces are browned.
2 Add remaining oil and onions to pan, reduce heat to medium-high and fry 30 minutes until light brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add garlic and ginger and fry 5 minutes. Add cinnamon and cardamom and fry 2 minutes, until spices are puffed and beginning to brown. Add turmeric and cayenne and stir rapidly 15 seconds. Return chicken to pan and stir in tomatoes, salt and 2 cups boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook about 45 minutes, until chicken is tender and gravy has thickened. Check frequently, and add a little water if sauce is evaporating too quickly. Turn off heat and let dish rest, covered at least 1 hour, preferably 2. When ready to serve, reheat, fold in cumin and cilantro, and adjust seasonings if needed.
