1 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon curry powder, plus more for garnish

This Indian stew was a delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was incredibly tender. I served it over basmati rice, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
