- Chicken Curry
-
- 8 pieces of chicken (I used legs and thighs)
- 2 T oil
- 3 T butter
- 2-3 onions, sliced
- black pepper
- 1/4 c curry powder
- other spices as desired: cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 3 T flour
- 1 1/2 c canned coconut milk
- 1 1/2 c chicken broth
-
- garnishing options: unsweetened coconut, toasted almond slivers, sliced green
- onions, raisins or dried currants
-
- Remove the skin from the chicken. Melt the butter and oil in a heavy pot.
- Brown the chicken pieces in batches, adding more oil as needed. Set the
- chicken aside.
- Saute the onion until limp. Add the pepper, curry powder, garlic, and other
- spices. Cook briefly. Stir in the flour. Add the coconut milk and chicken
- broth, stirring well to loosen anything stuck to the pot.
- Simmer for a few minutes, then return the chicken to the sauce. Cover and
- simmer for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
- Serve over steamed rice, preferably basmati variety. Put the garnishes in
- small dishes. Have guests sprinkle the garnishes on their portions.
-
- A good side dish is plain steamed cauliflower.
