Tomato Spiced Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 slice fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Instructions
1
Combine the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor and blend into a smooth consistency.
2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the blended mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 10 minutes.
3
Add the cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and nutmeg to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes.
4
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and mix them with the spice blend until they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.
5
Pour in the tomatoes with liquid and stir well to combine. Lower the heat to low and let it simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the oil separates from the liquid. Stir occasionally.

(Note: If you choose to simmer uncovered, the sauce will thicken; if you prefer a more controlled environment, add water or keep the lid on while simmering.)
