Chicken Curry Recipe

1. 1

   Heat a heavy bottom pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat for a few seconds. Then add the cumin seeds and heat till they begin to sizzle - about 30 to 40 seconds.

2. 2

   Add the sliced onions and a teaspoon of salt. Stir well and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   When the onions are nice and brown add the ginger, garlic, cayenne, cumin powder and coriander powder. Stir well and cook the onions with the spices for a couple of minutes.

4. 4

   Lower the heat and add the chicken pieces. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spiced onions. If the mixture sticks to the pan, add 1/4 of water and stir.

5. 5

   Brown the chicken for about 5 minutes in the onions, and then add the tomatoes. Add another 1/2 cup of water. Stir well.

6. 6

   Let the mixture come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Taste for seasoning. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
