Vij’s Family’s Chicken Curry

Vij’s Family’s Chicken Curry

AuthorJulie
Yields1 Serving
1/4 cup canola oil (original calls for 1/2 cup—I also like using ghee)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cinnamon stick
4-5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 large chopped tomatoes (or a similar quantity of diced canned tomatoes)
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
2-3 lbs chicken thighs, with skin and bone
1 cup sour cream (not low fat)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (including stems)
1

Set a large, heavy skillet or braising dish over medium-high heat and add the oil; heat for a minute or two before adding the onions and cinnamon stick; sauté for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric and cayenne. Cook the masala for 5 minutes, or until the oil separates from the masala. (I like adding a bunch of chopped cilantro stems here too.)

2

Remove and discard the chicken skin and add the bone-in thighs to the masala. Stir to coat them well and cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken looks cooked on the outside. Add the sour cream and a cup of water and bring to a simmer, stirring well. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the cinnamon stick and set aside to cool slightly.

3

When the chicken is cool enough to handle, peel the meat off the bones, discard the bones and stir the chicken back into the curry. Refrigerate or reheat right away, stirring in the cilantro just before serving. Serves 6.

    Love, love, love Vij’s chicken curry. Have the recipe book, but it’s great I could find it here when I’m away from home. Thank you for posting!!
    It yields more than one serving, though. Probably 4 to 6 servings depending on serving size.
