Ingredients:

1.50 tsp cardamom
3g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 whole chicken
1050g
1/2 cup curry paste
120g
3 tbsp ginger root
18g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 can canned tomatoes
190g
1.50 cups coriander leaves
6g
1/3 cup vinegar
80g
3 cups onion
480g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by cutting the whole chicken into manageable pieces. You can include drumsticks, thighs, wings, and breast pieces. Set them aside.
2. Cooking Base:
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté Onions:
- Add the thinly sliced onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent and start to turn golden brown. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
4. Aromatics:
- Stir in the finely chopped or grated ginger root, ground cumin, and cardamom. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.
5. Add Curry Paste:
- Mix in the curry paste with the sautéed onions and spices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
6. Add Chicken:
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot, ensuring they are well-coated with the spice mixture. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
7. Tomatoes and Vinegar:
- Pour in the canned tomatoes (including the juice) and stir in the vinegar. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
8. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the chicken cooks evenly.
9. Check for Doneness:
- Check the chicken to ensure it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) and the meat should be tender.
10. Finish with Coriander:
- Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the finely chopped coriander leaves. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
11. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or your favorite side.

Tips:

- Cut the chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- Toast the cardamom and cumin in a dry pan before adding them to the curry to enhance their flavors.

- If you prefer a milder curry, use less curry paste or choose a milder variety.

- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of coconut milk or yogurt towards the end of cooking.

- Let the curry simmer on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Your delicious chicken curry is now ready to be served. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and pair it with steamed rice or warm naan bread for a complete meal. Enjoy the rich and spicy flavors, and don't forget to share this wonderful dish with friends and family!
