Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield about 4 to 6 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 cloves garlic
1 (3-inch) chunk peeled, fresh ginger
1 tablespoon water, plus more as needed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
6 green cardamom pods
4 whole allspice
3 whole cloves
1 (3-inch) long cinnamon stick, broken in 1/2
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 teaspoons Madras-style curry powder
1/2 jalapeno, or more to taste
1/2 cup whole, peeled, canned tomatoes (with puree), roughly chopped
8 cups mixed 1-inch-cut vegetables, such as cauliflower, potatoes, green beans, or eggplant
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
About 2 cups (1-inch cubed) cooked chicken, preferably thigh or leg (optional)
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney

Steps:

  • In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon water and puree to a paste.
  • Heat the oil in a stew pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the coriander, cumin, cardamom, allspice, cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato and cook, stirring, until the oil begin to separate and there is a distinctive crackling sound as the ingredients "re-fry" in the oil, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add the coconut milk and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Bring the broth to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a sauce-like consistency. If using the chicken, add and reheat. Return the vegetables to the sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the cilantro.

SHEET-PAN CURRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Sheet-Pan Curried Chicken and Vegetables image

This sheet-pan dinner infuses some rich Indian flavor into ingredients that are already regulars in your fridge and freezer. Chicken breasts take well to sheet-pan cooking, staying juicy and tender as they cook (and this recipe is tested to get the timing just right for ideal results!). Potatoes and bell peppers are simple and familiar vegetables that are family friendly, and with the addition of curry, they're a little more adventurous (and delicious) than usual. This warming, roasted dinner takes just 20 minutes of prep and about an hour total, meaning it's a great solution for an easy weeknight meal with big, bold flavor.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your curry. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good-quality chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make your curry watery.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary: If you're using a small pan, you may need to cook the chicken and vegetables in batches. Just be sure to cook them all the way through before adding them to the curry sauce.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the curry, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan bread: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan bread. You can also serve it with other sides, such as yogurt, chutney, or pickles.
