Tantalize your taste buds with a culinary journey to the vibrant island of Madagascar, where flavors dance in perfect harmony. Madagascar Chicken Curry is a symphony of rich and aromatic spices, carefully blended to create a dish that is both comforting and exciting. This delectable curry is a celebration of Madagascar's diverse culinary heritage, showcasing the harmonious fusion of African, Asian, and French influences.

The journey begins with a flavorful marinade, where succulent chicken pieces are lovingly coated in a vibrant blend of garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and paprika. As the chicken absorbs the aromatic spices, it takes on a golden hue, promising a tantalizing taste experience. The marinated chicken is then gently simmered in a fragrant sauce made with coconut milk, tomatoes, and a medley of aromatic spices. The coconut milk adds a creamy richness, while the tomatoes provide a vibrant acidity, balancing the bold flavors of the spices.

Accompanying the main dish are two equally enticing recipes that complete the Madagascar culinary experience. A refreshing Cucumber Salad, with its crisp cucumbers, zesty lemon-mint dressing, and a hint of chili, offers a light and refreshing contrast to the richness of the curry. And for those who relish the heat, a fiery Madagascar Hot Sauce, made with habanero peppers, ginger, and garlic, adds an extra kick of spice to the meal.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup cooking oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon water
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup water
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-high; add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the tomatoes, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture; bring to a boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon cilantro over the chicken.
  • Cover the skillet and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.
