Description

A spicy, slow-cooked chicken curry with lemon ginger rice and garlic yogurt.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CURRY:
  • 2 Tablespoons Ghee Or Butter
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger, Grated
  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1-½ pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • 1 can (28 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes
  • 6-½ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ⅓ cups Garam Masala Spice
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cardamom
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cayenne
  • ¾ cups Heavy Cream
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Cilantro For Serving
  • FOR THE RICE:
  • 2 cups Uncooked White Basmati Rice
  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Ghee Or Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
  • 1 whole Medium Lemon, Zest And Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Turmeric
  • FOR THE GARLIC YOGURT
  • 1 cup Full Fat Plain Yogurt
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced

Preparation

For the curry:
Melt the ghee or butter in a skillet or fry pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and saute about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large slow cooker. Stir in chicken, diced tomatoes and spices (paprika through cayenne).

Cook on low for 5 hours. Stir in heavy cream. Cook on low for ½ hour or until chicken is fully cooked without being rubbery. Season with salt and pepper to taste

For the rice:
Start rice about an hour before curry is done. In a small saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Take off heat and fluff with a fork.

Melt the ghee or butter in a large skillet or fry pan. Add the ginger, lemon zest and juice, and turmeric and saute until a paste forms, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the garlic yogurt:
Stir together yogurt and garlic.

Serve rice topped with curry, garlic yogurt, fresh cilantro and a side of naan bread if desired.

I’m trying to make the perfect Tikka Masala! This one missed the mark, but was so delicious I had to share.
