Here’s the what I did tonight and please note that I am not to great at relaying specifics in directions, but I’ll do my best.  The fact that I even cook this is a miracle in itself.  It really shows how much I like chicken curry.  Just like Apple Strudel.  I’m going to have to make one of those soon.

Ingredients:

One onion

6 cloves Garlic

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs – that’s just what I prefer, I used a package and a half approximately.  You’d be fine with one wrapped package.

Garlic Salt and Pepper sprinkled on the chicken.

One tablespoon of each of the following:  Ginger, Cumin, Crushed Coriander Seed, Tumeric

Half Teaspoon of the following:  Cinnamon, Cardamom, Red Pepper

1.5 cups of whole milk<I am pretty sure this can be adjusted in a ratio with the vinegar, I think others use yogurt>

1/3 cup of white vinegar <I am pretty sure this can be adjusted in a ratio with the milk>

Here’s what I do:

Saute one chopped onion and 6 cloves of garlic in olive oil

Combine all spices together in a bowl and mix, add to saute mixture with some extra olive oil.  It will be looser than a paste in consistency, I think, sorry I can’t explain it more than that.

Add chicken to pan and coat the chicken with the spices and fry for a bit in the olive oil.  I used medium heat.  <I guess I fried it for 5 minutes maybe?? before adding the milk>

Curd the milk and vinegar together<don’t ask me how to curd something, I just mix it> and pour over the chicken and mix the sauce with the milk.

Bring to a boil with the chicken in it.  Simmer for awhile, sorry I don’t keep track.  Turn occasionally.  Personally I prefer to go longer than shorter in time so the meat soaks in the flavor.  I think I put the stove on 2 for the simmer, although I probably could have put it at one.

Serve over rice, I’ve used white rice and brown rice.  Both are good.

Notes:  The 1/2 tsp of red pepper will be about the same spiciness as “Thai spicy” at Durian Durian here in FL, per my husband.  My kids ate this just fine.  However, I think it would be great with 1/4 more tsp of red pepper.  Also, next time, I will probably use 8 cloves of garlic and use 1.5 onions instead of just one onion.  I use Coriander Seed and crush it with my rolling pin.  I put it in a ziploc bag and roll over it until it’s crushed.

Good Luck
