Authentic Indian Chicken Curry
Ingredients
  • 8 bone-in chicken breast halves, skinless
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 onions, peeled and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon hot (Madras) curry powder
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (10 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 4 pods cardamom
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Start by washing the chicken under cold running water, then gently remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Next, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper according to your individual preferences.
2
In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until it develops a rich brown color on both sides. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside for now.
3
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until they become soft and translucent. Add minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and continue cooking until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Then, add a pinch of curry powder to the skillet and stir well.
4
Return the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by a can of tomato sauce, a splash of coconut milk, whole cloves, ground cardamom, and a cinnamon stick. Season with salt to taste, then stir everything together until well combined.
5
Finally, reduce the heat of the skillet to a low simmer and let it cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully tender and no longer pink inside.
