MRS. CHITTALURU'S FAMILY (AUTHENTIC INDIAN) CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE
My friend's mom comes to visit him each year from India and is a super cook. This is an amazing recipe which, once you have the ingredients in your spice collection and have done it once or twice, it is a breeze to make. Most of these ingredients can be stored for a long time. Buy them if possible from an Indian grocery store because they are usually cheaper and fresher than a supermarket. I have wowed many guests with this dish and it is time that this recipe goes into the public domain.

Steps:
- Ginger/Garlic Paste: In a blender add peeled ginger and peeled garlic in equal parts and a little water and blend into a paste. You can also buy this in the Indian market, but it is much better when made fresh.
- Meat Prep: Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix chicken, salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne (if using cayenne), cumin powder and coriander powder.
- Set Aside.
- Cooking: Use medium heat! Lower heat and longer cooking time gives the best results.
- In a deep wide pan (using medium heat) heat oil till it's hot and add Cloves, Cardamom (give a small smack on each Cardamom pod to open up the pod just a little bit) and Cinnamon stick.
- Move it it around for several minutes.
- At this point, I remove the clove and cardamom because I hate biting into them later.
- Add onions and saute until they are soft and golden.
- Take your time on this as this is what makes the gravy creamy, (you don't want burned onions).
- Add Ginger/Garlic paste and lower the heat to medium low and cook for several minutes scraping the bottom often.
- If you have enough oil in the pan you will not have that much of a problem. Hey! it's Indian food, so oil is necessary evil :)
- Add chicken mix from the bowl and cook till the chicken turns color.
- Add butter if desired.
- Keep stirring so that bottom is not sticking. This will take about 8-10 minutes or so.
- Add tomato and cook for another 2 minutes
- Then add hot water to the pan till it barely covers the chicken.
- Cook on medium high till you see a lot of bubbling.
- Lower the heat to medium/low and cover the pan and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When done, you should have smooth dark brownish gravy that is not runny and the chicken should be tender. Eat it with hot rice.
CHEATS CROCK POT INDIAN/PAKISTANI CHICKEN CURRY - SEMI AUTHENTIC
In this curry, I've taken a shortcut and used a jar of pasta sauce and minced ginger and garlic from a jar but the end result would never make you think this isn't an authentic Indian or Pakistani recipe! The spices do a wonderful job of adding a kick to the curry and the aroma is absolutely amazing, thanks to the dried fenugreek. You will keep coming back to this recipe! It's a favourite at my house for those busy days!
