Servings: persons

3 1/2 lbs chicken (cut into 8 pieces, with breasts cut in half)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion (diced)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 3/4 lbs eggplants (unpeeled, and cut into 1-inch pieces)
3 cups chicken stock (fresh or canned)
1 1/2 cinnamon sticks (3-inch long)
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 large carrot, cut 1/2-inch dice
1 medium zucchini, cut 1/2-inch dice
1 medium turnip, cut 1/2-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut 1/2-inch dice
2 cups tomatoes, in 1/2-inch dice (Medium-ripe)
1/2 cup golden raisin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (or 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley)

1
Place the cubed eggplant in a colander, salt it and let it drain for 20 minutes. Rinse well and set aside. Remove all the skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Heat a large frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
2
Saute the chicken in 2 batches until opaque on both sides (a few minutes). Set aside. Heat a 6- to 8-quart casserole and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion, garlic and eggplant. Saute over low heat until the onion is just tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Add the chicken stock, cinnamon sticks, curry powder, cumin, turmeric and black pepper. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the dark chicken meat along with the carrot, zucchini, turnip and red pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
4
Add the chicken breasts, tomato, raisins and 1 tablespoon of the coriander, pushing down lightly to be sure the ingredients are covered by the liquid. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes more.
5
Salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot in deep soup bowls on top of rice, noodles or couscous, garnishing the top with the remaining coriander.
