As I sit here watching Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations on t.v. and awaiting my yummy curry chicken to be done, I realized that I should share with everyone this great recipe I discovered because it really is the best that I have eaten thus far. It’s also be a good idea for me to have another copy , in case I ever lost mine. :p

I would advise you to measure out all the ingredients for each step beforehand, instead of doing it on the fly. Just makes things easier and less stressful while cooking. I also divided the ingredient list into different parts to make it easier to see what is needed for each step.

The Best Indian Curry Chicken Recipe

1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large onion chopped (I like mine finely chopped)

6 cloves of garlic (minced)
1/3 cup curry powder
2 and 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp paprika
2 bay leaves
1 and 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp sugar
salt to taste

4 to 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces (depends how much chicken you’d like in it)
2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups plain yogurt
1 and 1/2 cup coconut milk

2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (you can use less, but I like mine a bit spicy)

  1. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and then add the onion, stirring until it is light brown.
  2. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, cinnamon powder, paprika, bay leaves, ground ginger, sugar, and salt. Continue stirring the ingredients for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken pieces, tomato paste, yogurt, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, simmering for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  4. Remove the bay leaves, and then add the lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

Makes about 8 servings. I eat mine atop a bowl of regular white rice (but you can use brown, jasmine, basmati rice, etc.) with plenty of salt and pepper. Enjoy! :)

I also wanted to post about the changes I made to the art and photo galleries. I replaced the static thumbnails with a more streamlined flash gallery (hope it works correctly for everyone). I also hid the comments by default on those pages so that there is more focus on the art itself. You can, of course, still view the existing comments on those pages or add a new comment by simply clicking on the small link at the bottom of the page; it easily shows/hides the comments at will without having to reload the entire page or anything.

Hope you like the recipe and the new gallery system!

Until next time,

xoxo
