Chicken in Onion Tomato Gravy

Craving something spicy but not too spicy I turned to Julie Sahni Classic Indian Cooking. I've no idea how classic this is but it was delicious, and very simple to make.



The recipe calls for 2 cinammon sticks, some cardamon pods, hot pepper, and about 2 tbs roasted cumin seeds. Put to one side



Brown 2 chopped onions (I learnt from The Cooks Cottage that really browning them is essential - I love the internet), then add 5 cloves garlic and some ginger, chopped!



Add the chicken pieces (soak in lime juice first), the spices, about 1 tsp tumeric cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 can chopped tomatoes along with some water so they don't stick. Simmer until the tomatoes have melted and the chicken is cooked.

Hi There

I just found your blog! How wonderful. I am a French born Algerian. Currently a Chef Instructor at The California Culinary Institute, Le Cordon Bleu.

I have a food forum http://s14.invisionfree.com/bookofrai/index.php?act=idx

It would be great to have you as a member. I see melissa posted a comment, she is a member there as well. I think I recognize elvira if she is the same one. I have to click after I post this.

I know of Martinique through my friends in France. There is a Jamaican member on my food forum who is very concerned about preserving her food culture.
