Ingredients
-
4 chicken legs -- without skin for a lighter curry
4 tomatoes -- chopped into large pieces
4 onions -- chopped into large pieces
2 cups finely chopped cilantro
10 chopped garlic cloves
8 potatoes -- or less if you'd like less calories
1/4 cup fresh diced ginger root
2 tablespoons garam masala spice mix
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 teasponn hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
cooking spray
2 or more cups of water
Directions
Makes 4 servings.
Spray large pot or dutch oven with cooking spray. Over medium heat, saute onions until they sweat. Add tomatoes and cook until slightly softened. Add chopped cilantro, garlic, diced ginger and cook for 2 more minutes. Add dry spices and mix around until all the vegetables are coated and cook for an additional minute. Add chicken legs, potatoes and water. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for two hours. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on your portion, and with basmati rice or good bread for dunking. Your kitchen will smell fantastic and you will want to eat this every time it's cold outside.
NOTE that this is a recipe that can be played around with. All spices can be adjusted to your taste, with more or less added; hot pepper can be omitted entirely if you don't like the heat. I have used small amounts of dry ginger when I didn't have fresh, omitted cilantro and/or tomotoes when I didn't have those, used fresh hot peppers instead of dry, etc. Yet it always comes out scrumptious.
