Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 1/4 cups)
3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (2 cloves)
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 tablespoon curry powder (preferably Madras)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
1 (13 1/2- to 15-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
Accompaniments: rice; toasted coconut; 1/2-inch cubes fresh pineapple; lime wedges; mango chutney; chopped salted roasted cashews or peanuts; chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in batches (without crowding), turning over occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate as cooked, reserving fat in pot.
  • Add onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf to fat in pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is browned, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder and flour and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in sugar (if using), coconut milk, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot. Return chicken and any juices accumulated on plate to pot, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Season with salt, then transfer to a shallow serving dish.
  • Serve chicken over rice and topped with remaining accompaniments.

I made this dish for my family last night and they loved it! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less pineapple. The chicken was cooked perfectly, though.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always moist and tender, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.
