KOSHER CHICKEN RECIPES |
|
|
CURRIED CHICKEN (INDIA)
INGREDIENTS: |
- 3 tbsp corn or peanut oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped (1 cup)
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, chopped, or an equal amount canned (3
cups)
- 1 tbsp Basic Green Masala
- 1 tsp Dry Masala for meat
- ½ tsp minced fresh gingerroot
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 chicken, 3½ pounds, cut into 10 pieces, plus the giblets,
loose skin and fat discarded
- ½ cup water
- 2 medium potatoes (½ pound), peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
|
DIRECTIONS: |
- Heat the oil in a pan and stir-fry the onions over moderate
heat until brown-dark but not charred. Add the tomatoes and stir
briskly for 2 minutes; cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the Basic Green Masala,
Dry
Masala, ginger, turmeric and salt. Cook for 5 minutes,
stirring constantly.
- Add the chicken and water, cover, and cook over low heat until
approaching tenderness, ½ hour. Should the sauce evaporate too
quickly, add another ½ cup water. Add the potatoes and simmer
until the chicken and potatoes are tender, another 15 minutes.
Serve warm. Serves 6 with other dishes.
Variation: Either beef or lamb may be used in place of the
chicken. Use 2 pounds of boneless beef chuck or lamb and follow the
same steps as for the chicken. The meat will take longer to
tenderize and so one should add 1½ cups water and cook for ½ hour
longer.
