Day 125

The coconut milk in this chicken curry takes one back to
the balmy south-west breezes of the palm lined Indian coast

PALM COAST CHICKEN CURRY
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of Oil in pan
Add 1/2 teaspoon each of whole Cumin seeds and
whole brown Mustard seeds until they pop
Or the same amount of ground spices
Add finely chopped Onion, up to a whole depending on taste
Stir until lightly brown
Add
2 teaspoons freshly grated Ginger
3-4 cloves minced Garlic
2 pounds of Chicken parts, skinned
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
1 tablespoon Paprika
huge pinch of Salt
1/2 teaspoon Curry
Add one cup Water and bring to simmer
Cover and gently cook 30 minutes
Stir occasionally
Boil down most of the liquid
Add  1 cup Coconut Milk
Optional: chopped Chilies
Tear some Basil leaves to garnish

Sometimes I cook 2 or 3 meals at once and then refrigerate them for later consumption.
I let this sit overnight then warmed it up the next evening for dinner.
The chicken fell off the bones
and the memory of the tastes has my mouth salivating!
Go to India now!
