Herb-Infused Chicken Curry
Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup ground almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 6 green chile peppers, mashed into a paste
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1
Carefully massage chicken pieces with a blend of ginger paste, garlic paste, and 1 teaspoon salt until they are evenly coated.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, deep saucepan or a traditional Indian cooking vessel over medium-high heat; sear the chicken pieces in the oil on both sides until they are nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Combine yogurt, almonds, cumin, coriander, and turmeric in a bowl and mix until well incorporated. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated; continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
4
Stir in the mashed chile peppers, cilantro, and mint into the pot; add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor. Add water, cover the saucepan, lower the heat to low, and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, roughly 20 minutes later.
5
Just before removing from heat, stir in a dollop of cream to add richness and finish the dish.
