INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 teaspoons garlic paste
  • salt to taste
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large pot put chicken, with oil and yoghurt, over medium heat. Stir together and add the cumin, red bell peppers, ginger, garlic paste, salt and green bell peppers. Stir all together, cover pot and simmer over low heat until the oil separates.
  2. Meanwhile, dice the potatoes into large chunks. When the chicken looks cooked and is no longer pink inside (after 20 to 30 minutes), add the potatoes and cook on low heat until tender, adding a little water if necessary. When chicken and potatoes are done, turn off heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Enjoy!

Made two batches of this recipe. First one was too mild for everyone who tried it but I doubled the spices and yogurt for the second one and it was great!

Very, very good. I used garlic powder instead of paste increased the yogurt and also added red chiles finely diced for extra kick. Note that you had add the potatoes to the chicken mixture sooner than the recipe says, as a way to save time.

I love this recipe and have made it for a few years to rave reviews of friends and family. Like many other reviewers, however, I usually double the yogurt and spices. It's also worked well with the addition of chickpeas and a couple of diced tomatoes.
