Ingredients
  • 3 whole black cardamom pods .
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon .
  • 4 tbsps yoghurt (whole fat works best for this dish) .
  • 1 fresh small red chili, sliced (to taste to your own heat tolerance) .
  • salt (to season) .
  • 1 large onion, sliced .
  • 500 g chicken breasts, sliced into 1 cm chunks .
  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil .
  • 4 tbsps tomato paste .
  • water (a splash) .
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced .
  • 1 tsp garam masala (optional) .
  • salt & black pepper .
  • 175 ml water .
  • 1 tsp ground cumin .
  • 3 tbsps fresh lemon juice .
  • 1 medium white onion, sliced roughly .
  • 5 cm piece ginger, sliced .
  • 1 tsp ground coriander

Directions
  • Step #1 The marinade needs to be a smooth paste.
  • Step #2 Put the 1st 6 ingredients, EXCEPT chicken, into a mixer with a splash of water & puree.
  • Step #3 Place sliced chicken in a bowl & spread the marinade over, coating each piece.
  • Step #4 Cover up & put in the fridge for about 30 mins, though you can leave it longer or even overnight is best.
  • Step #5 When you're ready to cook the dish, put a large pot, preferably heavy bottomed, over a medium heat.
  • Step #6 Add the oil.
  • Step #7 When it's hot stir in the the cinnamon & cardamom for a few seconds.
  • Step #8 Add onion & cook for 5 mins until it starts to soften.
  • Step #9 It will turn brown from the cinnamon.
  • Step #10 Add cumin & coriander, then slowly add the yoghurt, stirring all the time.
  • Step #11 Add the tomato paste & mix in well, reduce the heat.
  • Step #12 Put the chicken & its marinade into the pan & cook for about 5 mins.
  • Step #13 Pour the water into the pan & stil in the garam masala if you have any.
  • Step #14 I have made this without it & it is so flavorful that I didn't really miss it.
  • Step #15 Bring to a simmer & cook uncovered, for 15 mins or so until the sauce has reduced to a thick, stirring frequently, spoonable consistency.
  • Step #16 Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice & serve.
  • Step #17 I serve this with naan bread, peach or apricot chutney, mango, & rice flavored with cooked onions.
  • Step #18 You want a fairly plain rice as the dish is so flavorful a strongly seasoned rice would mask the wonderful flavors of the dish.
  • Step #19 Servings being difficult to judge as a serving is different to everyone.
  • Step #20 Soo I am listing this as 4 servings for hearty appetites.
  • Step #21 Cooking does not include marinating time.
  • Step #22 Boneless thighs work well for this too; just cut into fairly wide strips.
  • Enjoy the Hajar's Black Cardamom Chicken Curry recipe
