CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, about 5 minutes total. Transfer chicken with tongs to a plate. Stir garlic, curry, and cayenne into fat in skillet, then add coconut milk, tomatoes with their juice, currants, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Add okra and chicken along with any juices accumulated on plate and briskly simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cashews.

CURRIED COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat with curry oil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
• Pour coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar into the pan, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

RED CURRY CHICKEN WITH CASHEWS, PINEAPPLE, & TOMATOES

Steps:

• Grind or chop (I use a food processor) 3/4 cup of the cashews into a coarse powder; set aside.
• Heat heavy pan over med-high heat. Add peanut oil, chicken, and curry paste and stir-fry for a few minutes until chicken is no longer pink in center.
• Stir in coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, sugar, and the ground cashews - make sure no curry is still stuck to the bottom of the pan, or you'll have some burnt bits.
• When it starts to bubble, reduce heat to low and add tomatoes and pineapple. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, then add scallions and remaining whole cashews just before serving.
• I prefer serving this over brown rice; the nuttiness of the rice compliments the cashews nicely.

CURRIED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. In hot oil, cook cumin seeds, garam masala, cardamom, cayenne pepper, mustard seeds, salt, and garlic. When seeds start to pop, stir in chicken and potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes, or until chicken is nearly done.
• Stir in tomatoes, chard, and yogurt. Cover, and cook 15 minutes more, or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.
