Mrs. Chittaluru’s Family Authentic Indian Chicken Curry Recipe, My friend’s mom comes to visit him each year from India and is a super cook. This is an amazing recipe which, once you have the ingredients in your spice collection and have done it once or twice, it is a breeze to make. Most of these ingredients can be stored for a long time. Buy them if possible from an Indian grocery store because they are usually cheaper and fresher than a supermarket. I have wowed many guests with this dish and it is time that this recipe goes into the public domain., Don’t use hot water… Debone your chicken and start a small pot of broth from the veggie trimmings and the bones. The turmeric doesn’t say if powered or fresh grated… Let the user know with the correct quantity. Cooking white chicken meat that long results in nasty dry meat… Suggest thighs. The veggie oil could/should be ghee or at the least clarified butter. The ingredient “1 tomatoes” makes no sense. Clarify this please! And last but not least, list the ingredients in the order they are used in the recipe. The suggestion of salt and pepper to taste should be last, but perhaps throw 8 peppercorns in with the toasting seeds and blender… That way you know the cook is using the freshest version of peppers. I made this dish with the above tweaks, used two peeled/chopped plum tomatoes, and it was good., This dish was a fantastic use for all the “odds and ends” spices on the spice rack. Great time to get use out of that tumeric and cardamom! I tweaked the dish a bit by using canned tomatoes, they didn’t stay in their diced form but they made the sauce very well balanced, I also added some fresh lemon juice and zest on top of a heaping dollop of plain yogurt. Needless to say, my boyfriend who doesn’t really like Indian food has taken it to work twice for lunch! Use to top some basmati rice and toasted some naan and we had a very easy authentic and TASTY Indian meal at home. Too bad houses don’t come with bus boys ;P
