Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks (4 of each; about 3 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 green cardamom pods
1 1-inch piece cinnamon stick
1 whole clove
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder or hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 small plum tomatoes, diced
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Cooked basmati rice, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and brown 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove. Cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
  • Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the pot. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the chicken is almost cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 12 minutes.
  • Tuck the potatoes among the chicken pieces, submerging them as much as possible; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are just cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, turning the potatoes, until the curry is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Thin the curry with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.

Air-Fryer Crispy Curry Drumsticks image

These air-fryer chicken drumsticks are flavorful, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sometimes I'll add some red pepper flakes in addition to the curry powder if I want to spice them up a bit. I like to serve them with chicken-seasoned rice and boiled broccoli. -Zena Furgason, Norman, Oklahoma

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
¼ cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
⅓ cup curry powder, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and golden brown. Slowly stir in curry powder. Once ingredients are blended together, add chicken breasts. Cover skillet and simmer over medium low heat for about 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the dish, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: The amount of curry paste you use will determine the heat of the dish. If you like your food mild, start with a small amount of paste and add more to taste. If you like your food spicy, go ahead and use a lot of paste.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Feel free to use any vegetables you like, but some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, peppers, and broccoli.
  • Cook the chicken until it's tender: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Curry chicken is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good option if you want a mild, fluffy side dish. Naan is a good option if you want a more flavorful, chewy side dish.

Conclusion:

This crunchy curry chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful curry sauce and then coated in a crunchy breadcrumb mixture. The result is a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
