DEVIL CURRY (CURRY DEBAL), A SPICY EURASIAN CURRY

Steps:

• Coat the chicken with the soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and set aside while you get everything else ready.
• Using a pair of scissors, cut up the dried chillies (to be ground) and soak them for 15 minutes.
• Cut up the sausages to about 5cm (2") pieces.
• Quarter all the onions in the recipe, including the ones to be ground. Keep the 2 lots of onions separately.
• Cut up the fresh chillies into 3 pieces for easier grinding.
• Halve the garlic and ginger.
• Drain the soaking chillies, give them a quick rinse and place in the chopper, along with the fresh chillies. Grind for 10 seconds. crape down the sides, add 1/4 onion and grind for another 10 seconds. The onion will add moisture and make sure it's not too dry.
• Add the garlic and ginger to the chopper, plus another 1/4 onion. Grind for another 30 seconds, scraping down halfway.
• Add the onions and turmeric and grind for 60 seconds to get a fairly smooth paste, scraping down the sides once or twice in that time. Doing the paste ingredients in this order gives the more fibrous ingredients a longer time to be chopped up.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté ground ingredients for about 2 minutes on medium heat.
• Add the chicken and coat well.
• Add the pepper, worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, mustard, salt, sugar and water and let everything come to boil.
• Turn the heat down to low, and simmer, half covered with a lid, for 30-45 minutes until the chicken is cooked, depending on size and what portions you're using. Chicken legs will need 45 minutes.
• Add the quartered onion and sausages and cook for about 10 minutes. Add a little more water if you prefer a wetter curry, and especially if you are using potatoes.
• Check the seasoning, add more salt if necessary.
• Turn the heat off and gently stir in the 3rd tablespoon of vinegar.
