When my parents lived in Indonesia, they had friends who were also Canadian ex-pats who were Pakistani. My mom got this recipe from them. It’s easy and really good– the chicken melts off the bone.
You take a bunch of chicken pieces (I used drumsticks) and brown them in a little oil. Remove them, then fry up a little minced ginger and garlic, add a chopped onion, and season with cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. I used spice rack pre-mixed curry since there was no chili powder. Add the chicken in again with a spoon of Better than Bouillon (or a chicken cube). Cook over very low heat, covered for an hour. Be careful not to burn it like I did. VERY LOW HEAT! Otherwise, that’s it.
In the last half hour or so, I put in some broccoli so I would have a vegetable. It got overcooked. I served the whole mess over Basmati rice (cooked perfectly!) and a spoon of mango chutney. Delicious!
