Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 large onion, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 thumb sized piece fresh ginger, minced; 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skins removed; 2 cups water; 1 tablespoon cumin seeds; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 tablespoon sweet paprika; 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon sriracha

Servings: persons

1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 thumb sized piece fresh ginger, minced
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skins removed
2 cups water
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sriracha

1
In a large pot, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat. Once the pot's hot, add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8 minutes, or until the onion starts to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.
2
Add the garlic, ginger, and cumin and fry for a minute. Then, add the water, tomato paste, paprika, chicken, sriracha, black pepper, and another pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower it immediately to a very faint simmer (the water should be just barely moving). Cover with a lid and cook for 40 minutes, turning the chicken from time to time.
3
When the chicken is fully cooked, remove it to a cutting board. Tear or cut the meat away from the bone, and set aside.
4
Bring the pot back up to a boil, and reduce the liquid by half. Then, taste and correct for salt and spiciness (feel free to add a splash of cream if it's too spicy) and add the chicken back in.
5
Serve over rice, stuff into tortillas, burritos, or eat it straight!
