👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Heat the cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and coriander powder. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until aromatic.
- 5
Add the chopped or pureed tomatoes. Cook down until the tomatoes have broken down and the oil starts to separate from the sauce.
- 6
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the cubed potatoes and pour in the water or chicken broth. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the potatoes are soft. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
- 8
Check the consistency of the stew. If it's too thin, you can remove the lid and let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
