Curry-And-Yogurt Braised Chicken Thighs image

This recipe is from Food and Wine. I love curries, but so many of my recipes are too labor intensive for a week-night meal. This is relatively quick and easy. It's a great summer-time meal, when you can use farm-fresh produce. When fresh corn is not available, substitute 1/2 C frozen corn.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
salt and pepper, for seasoning
all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I loved this dish. The yogurt mellowed out the spice and made it really creamy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this dish during the week.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.
