Indian Curry Chicken

 1.5 lb chicken breast diced small as possible 

2 medium onions diced small

2 small/medium tomato diced

Small piece of fresh ginger about 2 tbsp diced

4 - 6 cloves of garlic diced

2 tbsp indian chili powder hot

2 tbsp regular chili powder

1 tbsp turmeric 

1 tbsp cumin 

2 tbsp salt

6 tbsp plain yogurt

2 tsp cinnamon 

small amount of fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

4 tbsp oil 

Sautee onions, ginger, and garlic in oil on low/medium heat for about 4 minutes til onions become translucent 

Add both chili powders, cumin, turmeric, and salt for about 60 seconds so the hot oil brings out the flavor of the spices

Add diced tomato and cook for about 25 minutes stirring often til the tomatoes lose their shape resulting in a pasty glob (add water if needed)

Add yogurt and cinnamon stir it well

Add chicken and raise heat to medium high and cook for 30 minutes or so until chicken is tender

When finished sprinkle in fresh cilantro and serve over rice

Oh yeah. Boil like 2 cups of rice with little salt and pepper. Basmati or jasmine are the best. If not whatever you got.
