Ingredients

    6 chicken thighs, bone and skin removed
    l large onion, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 slice fresh ginger root, chopped
    1 T. olive oil
    Spices:
    * Cumin (ground), 2 tsp
    * Turmeric, ground, 1 tsp
    * Salt, 1 tsp
    * Pepper, black, 1 tsp
    * Cardamom, ground, .1/2 tsp
    * Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp
    * Cloves, ground, 1/4 tsp
    * Bay leaves, 2
    * Nutmeg, ground, 1/4 tsp
    1 14.5 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed

Directions

Place onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor and process into a paste. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion paste and saute for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the spices to the paste and stir until mixed, about 2 minutes (the paste and spices will be very dry; don't worry about this). Place chicken thighs in skillet and stir them around with the spice mixtures.

Continue to saute chicken for 4 minutes, then add the canned tomatoes with the liquid. Stir everything together, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and the oil separates from the liquid.
