Indian Recipes - Adding the Chicken to the Masala
Ingredients
A Chicken2 tbsp Garlic
2 tbsp Ginger Root
2 Tomatoes
3 Onions
3/4 cup Yogurt
1/4 cup Oil
Turmeric
Cilantro
Cumin Powder
Cayenne
Garam Masala
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken breast into 3 pieces. Marinate the chicken in the yogurt and mix in the garlic and ginger paste for 3 to 4 hours.
2. Add the oil to a pot and let it simmer. Add the chopped onions and let them brown on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium when the onions begin to brown. Add some chopped ginger and garlic to the pot.
3. Mix the salt, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala and cayenne with water to form a paste. Add this paste to the carmelizing onions. Slice up the tomatoes and add them to the pot. A good test of knowing when the curry is finished is that the whole mass leaves the oil, the oil separates and everything turns into a nice good smooth mass.
4. Add the chicken to the curry, put the stove on medium heat, cover it and cook until the chicken is done.

Bhasin: Hi I'm Bhasin and this is my wife Nicky. We are from the Bombay Curry Company in Alexandria. We also have the Delhi Club in Arlington, Virginia along with a friend of ours and we have been showing you how to make chicken curry. We have gone through numerous steps and come after browning the onions and making the masala, we are now ready to add the chicken and cook it till it's done. A good test of knowing when your masala is done that you will that the whole mass leaves the oil, the oil kind of separates and everything turns into a nice good smooth mass. That's a good indication and now I'm going to add the chicken and along with the yogurt.
So far you saw that the color was kind of brownish, reddish brown and now when you add the yoghurt, you find that the light yellow, the turmeric color starts coming through. The rest of the marinade also goes right in. We are going to mix it all together. Stir it nicely. See the nice yellow color, it's beautiful. The color has come from the caramelized onions, the color from the spices, especially the cayenne and the turmeric and from the tomatoes and the blend of yogurt. Now, that we have added the chicken to our curry, to our masala, we are going to bring it to temperature on high heat and then reduce the heat to medium, put a lid on it and cook it, till it's, till the chicken is done. After that, we are going to move to the last step which is tasting our curry, correcting it's consistency and seeing if it is right for us.
