Cooking Instructions

Wash the chicken well and keep in a big bowl. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, the Greek yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix everything well. Marinade for 10 minutes on the counter. No need to refrigerate.

In the meantime, slice the onion thinly. Keep the spices handy.

Heat oil in a large, wide cooking pan and when the oil is hot and looks shiny, add the bay leaves, cumin seeds and the cinnamon stick. Stir. Next add the cardamom pods. Let the spices sizzle for a few seconds. Stir. Keep the heat at medium or medium low.

Add the sliced onions and sauté about 3-5 minutes, till lightly browned.

Add 1/4 cup water to this onion, ginger, garlic and spice mix and stir well. This will help the spices get cooked and not remain raw. You’ll notice that a rich red color is developing inside your pan.

Add the marinaded chicken at this stage and stir and sauté for a minute or two. The chicken should begin to look opaque and the curry should be a nice rich color. Some moisture will also be released from the chicken. Your whole kitchen will smell beautifully fragrant!

Sometimes I feel like "ahh, I don't want to cook anything..." Well, that's when I make this curry.The curry tastes good without simmering too long thanks to the smoky flavor of sausages and the spice of "Doro" sauce. I've listed the vegetables I used, but you can actually use any kind that cooks fast. I also recommend using kabocha squash or cabbage since they add a natural sweetness to the curry.

Yummy Mushroom Curry in 15 Minutes Yummy Mushroom Curry in 15 Minutes
Last time I used Ebara-brand yakiniku sauce to make curry, and it was delicious! This time, I made a juicier curry, with shimeji mushrooms as a base ingredient, and added tons of tomatoes. This is really tasty and great with rice! My boyfriend really loved it.Mushrooms are low in calories, but are full of fiber. They also have a nice texture and make a dish more satisfying. That's why they're a superb ingredient that's also easy on your wallet. Yakiniku sauce is made of a combination of fruity sweetness and aromatic richness, which cuts down on cooking time when making curry! For 4 servings. Recipe by ochikeron -

Bean sprouts were cheap, so I combined them with ingredients that I had in my fridge. I only had 2 cubes of curry roux left, so I could only make 2 plates, but I really could have had more!The point is to finely chop the meat, vegetables, to make them about the same size as the bean sprouts!If you are going to double the recipe, simmer it for a bit longer.
