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:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to adjust it to your own taste preferences. For example, if you like your food spicy, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. Or, if you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of spices.
  • Be patient: This dish takes some time to cook, but it's worth the wait. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more flavorful it will become.
