The word "curry" is derived from the Tamil term for sauce or Flavouring agent which has been used in various dishes to give its unique taste. A typical curry dish originates out of South Asia and consists primarily of chicken; however, outside this region, it can be made with beef as well.
Chicken recipes have existed since ancient times due mainly because they are inexpensive protein sources that provide many essential nutrients while staying low on cholesterol levels too!
This dish is known as the "bones of India." It's perfect for game nights or any time you want an intense meal with a kick. A heavy hand in spices ensures that this recipe will not be boring, while using bone-in chicken gives it rich flavor and helps keep things traditional by throwing back how they would have traditionally been made centuries ago - free-ranging birds came into play then too!
This easy INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY is born out west along our coast; there are many versions across various regions but we've got ours down pat because its roots go deep like all good meals should do after being cooked low & slow over campfire coals before simmering together furiously on the stovetop until just right.
Marinate the chicken with ginger, garlic and salt for 30 minutes. Then cover it and set it aside.
Put the onions, ginger, garlic, and green chilies in a blender. Blend them all together until they are a paste.
Heat oil in a pot. Add cumin seeds. Pound the spices into pieces and put them into the pot with the oil. Cook the onion paste on low heat until it is reduced to a brown glue-like substance, stirring occasionally.
Add tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder (or red chili powder), and coriander powder. Cook the tomatoes until it looks like they're almost melted together.
Add the chicken and garam masala. Then add ½ cup water.
