Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 35

2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon coriander
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon allspice
3 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2 in (5 cm) cubes
5 tablespoons full-fat yogurt, divided, plus more for serving
9 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
3 carrots, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 lb yukon gold potato, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 oz crushed tomatoes, 1 can
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups basmati rice, or long-grain jasmine, cooked, for serving
1 fresh cilantro, for serving
Lime wedge, for serving
½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 cup full-fat yogurt
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
olive oil, for greasing
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, coriander, cardamom, dry mustard, cayenne, and allspice. Stir to combine.
  • In a large bowl, add the cubed chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons of yogurt, 4 cloves of minced garlic, the ginger, and half of the spice mixture. Toss the chicken until it is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Make the naan bowls: In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Set aside to bloom for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • To the yeast mixture, add the yogurt and milk. Stir until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir to combine, then dump the dough out onto a floured surface and knead with your hands until it forms a smooth, soft ball, about 2 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a clean large bowl greased with olive oil and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, cook the marinated chicken on all sides until cooked through and browned, about 20 minutes. Drizzle in more oil, as needed, to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer the browned meat to a plate as it finishes cooking and set aside.
  • Add the carrots, onion, potatoes, remaining 5 cloves of minced garlic, and reserved spice mixture, Stir and cook until the vegetables brown slightly and start to soften, 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook until aromatic, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the chicken, stir, and return to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of yogurt, then cover and keep warm.
  • Once the naan dough has risen, dump onto a floured surface, and divide into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ¼-inch (1 /2 cm) thick circle, approximately 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place a disc of naan dough in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the dough puffs up, then flip and cook on the other side until browned, 1 minute. Transfer the naan to a medium bowl and place another bowl on top. Repeat with the rest of the naan dough, stacking bowls between each round. As the naan cools, they will retain the bowl shape.
  • Brush the naan bowls with warm melted butter.
  • Fill the naan bowls with the chicken curry and rice. Serve with yogurt, cilantro, and lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!

IRRESISTIBLE CHICKEN CURRY



Irresistible Chicken Curry image

This Indian-inspired chicken curry is rich, creamy and saucy. Serve it with rice or naan bread so that you have something to pick up all of the creamy sauce. We do not recommend substituting the yogurt or cream in this recipe since they add richness and flavor to the sauce.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 to 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional for heat, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon for medium-spicy
6 medium cloves garlic, peeled
A 1-inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or use ghee
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 tablespoons full-fat plain unsweetened yogurt
1 teaspoon Garam Masala, see notes
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Handful cilantro leaves, chopped, optional for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, and then add to a bowl. If you'd like to leave the chicken uncut or if you are using bone-in chicken pieces, the chicken can be left whole.
  • Scatter 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper over the chicken. Toss well and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Make ahead: The chicken can be left to marinate up to 24 hours, keep it covered and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Add garlic, ginger, onion and 1/2 cup of water to a blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth. An immersion blender with cup attachment can also be used.
  • Heat the oil or ghee in a wide skillet (with lid) over medium-high heat. Arrange the marinated chicken into the pan so that it is in one layer and brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and place the skillet back onto the heat.
  • Add the onion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring often, until all of the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric over the onion-ginger mixture, and cook for about 20 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, turn the heat down to medium-low and then cook another minute.
  • Add the yogurt, a tablespoon at a time, stirring it into the sauce before adding anymore.
  • Return the chicken pieces and any accumulated juices to the pan along with the remaining cup of water and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to a simmer, and then cover with a lid. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and stir in the Garam Masala and cream. Taste the sauce and add the final 1/4 teaspoon of salt if you feel that it is needed (we almost always add it).
  • Turn the heat back up to medium-high and cook, stirring gently every now and them, until the sauce has reduced a bit and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with fresh cilantro scattered on top.
