South Indian Chicken Curry

The southwestern part of India known as Kerala, where I was raised, is endowed with lush, tropical growth year-round—coconut trees along the coast and, at higher elevations, an abundance of herbs and spices. So it’s no wonder that in this region, highly spiced curries flavored with coconut milk are an important part of every dinner. If you don’t have time to make your own fresh Curry Spice Mix, you can substitute a store-bought garam masala or curry powder.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs. vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp. black mustard seeds
  • 3 medium onions, sliced thin
  • Stems from 3 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped, plus 1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 3 potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 green peppers
  • 2 lbs. chicken thighs, skinned
  • 2 to 3 Tbs. South Indian Curry Spice Mix
  • 2 cups fresh Coconut Milk (1 cup thick, 1 cup thin)
  • Kosher salt
  • Cooked long-grain rice, for serving

Preparation

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat until it is very hot. Add mustard seeds and let them sizzle for about 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger, sliced onion, and cilantro stems, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the ground spice mix and continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes until the onions are very soft, stirring often so that the onions cook evenly.

When the onions and peppers are soft and have absorbed the spices, start adding the chicken, a little at a time. Stir the pieces until they’re coated with the spices, and then add more chicken. When all the chicken has been stirred in, pour the thin coconut milk over the chicken, add the salt and the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.
To soften the flavor of the spices, and to make a creamy sauce, the author simmers the chicken for her curry in coconut milk.

Remove the cover from the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Then add the thick coconut milk and the cilantro leaves. Return liquid to a simmer, season to taste with salt, and serve with rice.
