Flavorful Indian-Style Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1/2 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot chile paste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
1
Preheat the skillet by heating the vegetable oil over a moderate flame. Introduce cumin seeds into the pan and allow them to sizzle for a short while, until they release their aroma and start bursting. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it has lost its rawness and turned a pale shade, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
2
Combine the tomato paste with water in a separate container and then pour it into the skillet. Add the chicken to the mixture and cook until it has transformed into a firm, white texture, roughly 5 minutes.
3
Mix the coconut milk, brown sugar, chile paste, cayenne pepper, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a bowl before adding them to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a low flame, cover it with a lid, and continue to cook until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, around 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before presenting it.
