- 1
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
Add the sliced onions and sauté about 3-5 minutes, till lightly browned.
- 5
Add the remaining minced garlic and ginger. Stir for 10 seconds. Next, add the remaining turmeric and Kashmiri chili powder. And the remaining (1/2 teaspoon), salt. Stir and saute for 1 minute on medium heat.
- 6
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!

Cover the chicken and lower the heat and let it cook for 2/3 minutes. Stir couple of times.

Next, open the cover, add the remaining water, raise the heat to medium and bring the curry to a boil. Let the water cook down a bit so you get a nice curry consistency. Add garam masala and sprinkle the cilantro. Turn off heat, cover and keep till ready to eat. Pair with rice.

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.

Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
I have tried so many recipes; from the slow cooker to the regular stovetop. None of them were any good. Either the sauce was too watery, too thick, there was no flavor, etc.As is my MO in life, I decided to do my usual routine and pick & choose from different recipes. My wife and I finally came up with this recipe. We love it and wanted to share it. Hopefully, you will too!Enjoy!

Bean sprouts were cheap, so I combined them with ingredients that I had in my fridge.

Easy Chicken Curry (Addictive)
This curry is easy to make with just a few ingredients. Cleanup is super easy too. It was featured in the May 10, 2007 release of 'Highly Praised Side Dishes'.The origin of this recipeI adapted a recipe taught to me by my sister. Since then, I make either this smooth curry or the thick curry with store-bought roux depending on my mood. (Sometimes I crave the thick curry...)The origin of the name... An ex-boyfriend asked for the recipe right after we broke up. He suddenly craved it. I kindly shared it with him, hence the bold name of this recipe.

Crock-Pot Chicken Curry
Scottish husband (the U.K's healthy Indian influence inspired many of the meals his mom would cook) was craving the comfort of this dish his mom use to make when he was a child. I've never made it before, hadn't ever had curry of any kind. This is what I came up with after reading a Martha Stewart recipe. I improvised with what I already had. Anyway, it was absolutely delicious. He loved it.

Chicken Curry
People make all sorts of curries. Some add coconut milk, some add cream & others vary the spices. When the chicken is half cooked, you can taste the gravy & add salt or spices according to your wish. If you want a less spicy curry reduce the quantity of the powders used. You can even add coconut milk. Curries never taste the same. Let's try this one for a change.

Healthy Chicken & Veggie Curry
I like chicken curry and I've been making this for a long time. I think it's healthy as you don't use much store-bought curry roux. If you don't sauté the onions until lightly browned, you can use 1 large onion instead.Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste. There are some curry powder blends that you don't have to roast. The curry powder turns bitter if you roast it too much, so be careful. Adding the potato makes curry to thicken, so you can make this curry without store-bought curry roux. But the store-bought curry roux adds richness to the curry and it tastes better. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
