MOM'S CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a large (5-6 quart) pan heat the oil on medium heat.
• Add the cumin seeds, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom, and ginger garlic paste. Saute the spices until the cumin seeds start to brown.
• Meanwhile chop the onions.
• Add the onions to the pan and saute the mixture until onions begin to brown.
• Add the turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, tomato paste and yogurt and salt.
• Saute the mixture.
• Add the chicken and cover.
• Cook on medium low, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes. If the spices are sticking on the bottom add a little more yogurt.
• Add the garam masala, mix and cover.
• Continue to cook the chicken until the chicken starts to separate from the bone. A natural curry will have formed from the onions, tomato, yogurt, chicken and spices.
• Serve with rice or roti or any other whole wheat bread.
• You can garnish with fresh coriander.

MEERA SODHA'S CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Melt the butter or ghee in the oil in a large Dutch oven set over medium heat, and when it is hot and shimmering, add the cumin seeds and cinnamon sticks. Cook for a minute or two, stirring often, to intensify their flavors, then add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the ginger, garlic and peppers into a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt, and smash them together into a coarse paste. (You can also do this on a cutting board, with a knife.)
• Add the paste to the onions, and cook for 2 minutes or so, then pour in the tomatoes, and stir. Allow to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, then add the tomato paste, ground cumin, ground turmeric and another pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
• Add the yogurt slowly to the mixture, using a wooden spoon to whisk it into the sauce. It may be quite thick. When it begins to bubble, add the chicken. Lower the heat, put the lid on the Dutch oven and allow the curry to cook gently for 30 minutes or so, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the almonds and the garam masala, along with a pinch of cayenne, and cook for 5 minutes more or so. Serve with basmati rice or naan, and the additional yogurt.
