Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon ground turmeric; 1.5 teaspoons ground coriander; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ginger paste; 2 cloves of garlic, chopped; 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs; .25 teaspoons cinnamon powder; 2 cardammom; 2 tablespoons vegetable/olive oil; 1 onion, sliced; .5 teaspoons chili powder; 2 potatoes cubed(about 2-3 cups); 1 teaspoon salt or to taste; .5 cups water

Servings: persons

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1.5 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
.25 teaspoons cinnamon powder
2 cardammom
2 tablespoons vegetable/olive oil
1 onion, sliced
.5 teaspoons chili powder
2 potatoes cubed(about 2-3 cups)
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
.5 cups water

1
Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add cardammom and onions. Fry on medium heat until onion is soft and brown. This will take a while and be careful not to burn the onion otherwise your sauce will be bitter
2
Once the onion is a golden brown add all other ingredients except cinnamon. Turn up heat to medium. Stir for 5-10 minutes until the chicken and spices are well mixed and the oil starts to simmer up. The chicken should look shiny. Lower heat, cover pot for 4 minutes.
3
Add water and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Stir ocassionally. If the water starts to dry up, you can add a quarter cup of water. I try not to add too much water because usually the chicken releases a lot of liquid which makes the sauce intensely flavorful.
4
When the potatoes break easily, sprinkle the cinnamon over the curry. Turn over the curry once to mix in the cinnamon. Enjoy with hot steamed rice!
