Indian ground chicken with peas is a comforting and flavorful dish that is a staple in many Indian households. The combination of ground chicken, peas, warm spices, and aromatic herbs creates a dish that is both hearty and satisfying. The ground chicken provides a lean and versatile protein source, while the peas add a pop of sweetness and texture. The dish is further enhanced by a rich and flavorful sauce that often includes tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and a variety of spices. This versatile dish can be served with rice, roti, or naan bread, and can be adjusted to suit different dietary preferences and spice levels.

15-MINUTE INDIAN CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND PEAS
This one-pan dinner comes together faster than it would take for Indian take-out to get to your door. Chicken tenders need only a few minutes to cook in a flavorful sauce spiced with garam masala and curry powder. We serve it with store-bought naan, but it would be just as delicious served over fragrant basmati rice.

Steps:
- Place a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan heats up, finely chop the onion, about 1 heaping cup. Add the canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate the garlic into the tomato paste and add to the onions along with the curry powder, garam masala and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a strong simmer. Cut the chicken tenders in half crosswise, sprinkle liberally with salt and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir in the peas and 1/4 cup yogurt. Cook until the peas are just warmed through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each with the remaining yogurt and serve with warm naan bread.

INDIAN BUTTER CHICKPEAS
A vegetarian riff on Indian butter chicken, this fragrant stew is spiced with cinnamon, garam masala and fresh ginger, and is rich and creamy from the coconut milk. You could add cubed tofu here for a soft textural contrast, or cubed seitan for a chewy one. Or serve it as it is, over rice to catch every last drop of the glorious sauce. You won't want to leave any behind.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until golden and browned around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (Don't be tempted to turn the heat up to medium-high; keeping the heat on medium ensures even browning without burning the butter.)
- Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook another 1 minute. Stir in cumin, paprika, garam masala and cinnamon stick, and cook another 30 seconds.
- Add tomatoes with their juices. Using a large spoon or flat spatula, break up and smash the tomatoes in the pot (or you can use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the tomatoes while they are still in the can). Stir in coconut milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and continuing to mash up the tomatoes if necessary to help them break down.
- Stir in chickpeas and a pinch of cayenne if you like. Bring the pot back up to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
- Serve spooned over white rice, and topped with cilantro.
BUTTER CHICKEN WITH PEAS
Indian food is inviting, comforting and complex. Growing up in the Midwest, we didn't often eat foods with this much flavor. We will always remember our first bite of Indian takeout because we had never tasted anything like it before. Today, we're making our version of a dish we've enjoyed at our favorite restaurants: butter chicken. We start with tender whole chicken thighs and a buttery spiced tomato sauce, then add peas and yogurt to make it our own.

Steps:
- Put the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, then allow to rest (or follow the package instructions). Alternatively, use a rice cooker.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then place the chicken in the skillet skin-side down and cook until the skin is nice and brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 5 minutes. Reserve to a plate.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic and ginger and saute for 3 minutes, scraping to incorporate the fond from the chicken. Stir in the garam masala, paprika, cumin, curry powder, turmeric, sugar and 2 teaspoons black pepper and toast with the onions for a minute. Pour in the tomato puree and heavy cream.
- Bring to a simmer, then blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Taste the sauce and season with salt as necessary. Add the browned chicken thighs back to the sauce and simmer until tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken thighs.
- When the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened, add the peas. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over basmati rice and garnish with yogurt and cilantro.
