Do you like it hot? This is a flavorful curry but is not spicy hot. If you like heat in your curry, add a teaspoon (5 mL) of chili powder or a few dashes of hot sauce.
Ingredients
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
¼ cup (60 mL) water
2 medium onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, crushed or finely
chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) curry powder
2 tbsp (30 mL) garam masala
½ tsp (2 mL) salt (optional)
19 oz (540 mL) can of tomatoes
(whole or chopped)
¼ cup (60 mL) packed fresh cilantro,
finely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) unflavored low-fat yogurt
1 cup (250 mL) of chicken stock (1
package reduced salt bouillon + 1
cup/250 mL water)
18 skinned chicken drumsticks or
thighs, skin removed (3½ lbs/1.7 kg
weight with skin and bones or
3 lbs/1.5 kg weight with skin removed)
¼ cup (60 mL) fresh cilantro,
roughly chopped, for topping
Instructions
To a large heavy pot, heat the oil and water at low to medium. Add the
onions and garlic to the pot. Cook until soft. Add the spices, stirring
frequently, and cook for one or two minutes until the spices are well
blended. Add a bit of water if too dry.
Add to the pot, the tomatoes, cilantro, yogurt and chicken stock. Blend
together, then add the chicken pieces.
Cover the pot and simmer gently at low-medium heat. Stir periodically. Cook
for 1–1½ hour, or until chicken is cooked. If too thick, add extra chicken
stock or water if needed. If too thin, cook for the last 15–30 minutes
without the lid.
After cooking, add chopped cilantro
