TOMATO-YOGURT CHICKEN CURRY



Tomato-Yogurt Chicken Curry image

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
One 14.5-ounce can whole plum tomatoes
5 cloves garlic
1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
4 dried arbol chiles, stems removed
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, halved
2 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt, preferably Greek style
Generous pinch of Garam Masala, recipe follows
Cooked basmati rice, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping
1/4 cup green cardamom pods
4 black cardamom pods
3 large cinnamon sticks, preferably Ceylon, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons whole cloves

Steps:

  • Toast the cumin: Heat the oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Sprinkle in the cumin seeds and stir; they should sizzle on contact, become fragrant and darken slightly.
  • Caramelize the onion: Immediately add the red onion and bay leaves to the pot. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is dark chestnut brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Make the tomato base: While the onion is cooking, drain the juice from the can of tomatoes into a liquid measuring cup; set aside. Puree the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, chiles, turmeric and paprika in a food processor.
  • Saute the base: Add the tomato base to the onion mixture and cook, stirring, until thick and paste-like, 10 minutes. When the mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, add the chicken and potatoes. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is opaque and the sauce clings to the meat and potatoes, about 5 minutes.
  • Simmer the curry: Add the honey to the reserved tomato juice, then add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid; pour into the pot. Season with salt to your liking and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Adjust the seasoning: Gently stir the yogurt into the curry. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if necessary. Sprinkle with the Garam Masala and serve over rice. Top with cilantro.
  • Shell the cardamom: Gently crack open the green and black cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle (or crush them on a cutting board using a heavy pan). Remove the seeds and discard the husks.
  • Grind the spices: Finely grind the cardamom seeds, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a spice or coffee grinder. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight for up to 1 year.

TANDOORI-SPICED GRILLED CHICKEN



Tandoori-Spiced Grilled Chicken image

An Indian-inspired entrée that will give you a newfound love for chicken halves. They take on the same juiciness and smoky flavor as a whole or spatchcocked bird, but are much easier to move around the grill. A spiced yogurt marinade tenderizes without turning the meat mushy, so you can slather it on well in advance.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 14h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup plain yogurt (not Greek)
Kosher salt
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), split in half down the spine, backbone removed
Mango chutney and coriander chutney, for serving (see cook's note)
Indian pickles, for serving (see cook's note)
Sliced cucumbers and fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a fine powder. In a food processor, purée onion, garlic, and ginger to a fine paste, 30 seconds.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion mixture and cook until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in spice mixture and turmeric. Let cool completely, then stir in yogurt and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt.
  • Rub some of yogurt mixture all over chicken; then gently separate skin from breast and rub more under skin on each side. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
  • Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking (push coals to one side of a charcoal grill, or turn off one side of a gas grill after preheating). Brush grates with oil. Place chicken over indirect heat, bone-side down, with legs closest to heat source. Cover grill and cook, maintaining a temperature of about 400°F, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (nearest but not touching bone) registers 150°F, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to direct heat and cook, uncovered, flipping a few times, until charred in places and just cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Let stand 15 minutes before serving with chutneys, pickles, cucumbers, and mint.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pieces chicken breasts, about 12 ounces
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly score chicken breasts 3 or 4 times with a sharp knife.
  • Place in a med bowl.
  • Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Toss to coat.
  • Combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, cardamom and red pepper in a small bowl.
  • Add to chicken.
  • Coat well with marinade.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or over night.
  • Remove chicken from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Line broiler pan with foil.
  • Arrange chicken on foil without the chicken touching.
  • Brush with remaining marinade.
  • Broil 3 inches from heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes quick work of chopping the tomatoes, onions, and garlic for the tomato jam.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken breasts, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender chicken.

Conclusion:

This Tandoori Spiced Chicken Breast with Grilled Tomato Jam and Herbed Yogurt Sauce is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the tomato jam is sweet and tangy, and the yogurt sauce is creamy and herbaceous. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
