Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil
6 chicken legs (drumsticks with thighs; about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled ginger
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup canned tomato purée
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced 1/4" thick
Plain yogurt, torn fresh mint, and naan, flatbread, or cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat ghee in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden brown (do not turn), 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion, garlic, and ginger to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Add tomato paste, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and cardamom and cook, stirring often, until tomato paste is beginning to darken, about 4 minutes.
  • Add chicken, broth, tomato purée, and cream to pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionally, until chicken is almost falling off the bone and liquid is slightly thickened, 1 1/2-2 hours.
  • Add potatoes to pot and cook, partially covered, until potatoes are fork-tender, chicken is falling off the bone, and liquid is thick enough to coat a spoon, 30-45 minutes. Remove skin and bones from chicken, if desired, and return meat to pot; season stew with salt and pepper.
  • Divide stew among bowls, top with yogurt and mint, and serve with naan, flatbread, or rice.
  • DO AHEAD: Stew can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Add the peas and cilantro at the end of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and losing their flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, naan, or roti. You can also add a side of yogurt or raita.

Conclusion:

This easy Indian chicken recipe is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, peas, and cilantro. The dish is then served with rice, naan, or roti. Give this recipe a try and you won't be disappointed!
