Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken, quartered
  • 3 cups plain yogurt, divided
  • 1 tablespoons turmeric
  • 1 teaspoons turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
  • 3 cups finely chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 small dried red peppers
  • 3 curry leaves

Instructions
 

  • Combine 2 cups of the yogurt with 1 tablespoon of turmeric and pour over the chicken pieces. Use your hands to make sure the chicken is well coated, then place in a zip-close bag and marinate overnight.
  • Heat a braising pan over medium heat and add the ghee or vegetable oil.
  • When it shimmers, add the onion, garlic, cumin and coriander and sauté until the onion begins to brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and scrape off as much of the yogurt mixture as possible.
  • Add the chicken to the braising pan, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken pieces over, replace the lid and continue cooking for another 20 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, cinnamon stick, dried red peppers and curry leaves.
  • Cover again and simmer on very low heat for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and, in a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of the chicken cooking liquid with the remaining cup of yogurt and teaspoon of turmeric and pour over the chicken.
  • Cover to keep warm and serve.
