Chicken Masala

Yes, I have yet another recipe. We had this one yesterday at our friend's house and it was absolutely delicious. It's a bit spicy though. Just a heads up.

Chicken Masala

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken
6 tsp ground corriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp salt


Dice chicken, rub spices in and marinate in fridge for 1 hour.

2 cups thinly sliced onion
3 Tbsp Olive Oil


Brown the onions and olive oil in a pan then add:

2 tsp minced Garlic
2 tsp minced Ginger


Set this aside.

Then take your chicken out and throw it in your pan (I recommend a cast iron skillet). Once it's cooked (or even almost cooked) add:

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups chopped Tomatoes (or more, I love tomatoes)
1 tsp salt

Stir for 5 minutes with chicken and then add the onion mixture you set aside before.
Now stir in:

2 tsp ground poppyseed
1/2 cup water

Bring to a boil, then turn down heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve with rice and naan bread.
