How to Make Bebe's Chicken Curry
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the chopped onions for the yogurt sauce.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté the remaining 1.5 cups chopped onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-inch piece minced ginger, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric until onions are softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1.5 lbs cubed chicken and sauté until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry paste, 1 cup of water, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender (about 15-20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and salt to taste.
- To serve, gently reheat the curry (do not boil).
- Spoon the curry over steaming rice. Garnish each serving with a slice of banana and fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired.
- Serve with warm chapatis, chutney, and yogurt sauce.
- **For the Yogurt Sauce:** Combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup reserved chopped onions, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Let stand for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, for the flavors to meld.
