1 cup plain yogurt - room temp, stirred to a creamy consistency
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon ginger root peeled & minced
1 tablespoon garlic - minced
4 teaspoons green chilies preferably serranos
12 large chicken thighs skinned, rinsed and wiped dry
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
3/4 teaspoon turmeric
3/4 teaspoon cayenne
28 ounces tomatoes chopped liquid (1 can/box)
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1. Stir yogurt and cornstarch together until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saut until beginning to color, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and saut onions until dark golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes longer.
3. Stir in ginger, garlic and chilies. saut for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add chicken and brown well, 6 to 8 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper over top of chicken. Mix well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add tomatoes, yogurt mixture, 1/2 cup cilantro and salt. Mix well. Cover and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 25 minutes.
7. Turn off heat. Stir in garam masala and 3 tbs. cilantro (or more cilantro to taste).
8. Garnish with remaining cilantro before serving. Serve with rice or any Indian bread.
Note - You can use a small amount of cooking oil and sometimes adds a tbs. of water instead of additional oil. Unlike original Indian cooking in which a lot of oil is used.
Add cornstarch to yogurt and bring it to room temperature before adding to any dish. This prevents curdling.
Powdered spices are very fragile. Use them right away and keep the heat down or you'll lose the flavor.
"Never double the tumeric" when doubling a recipe. It will be too bitter.
