Serve the curry with steamed white rice and Indian beer, and make a stop at an Indian restaurant to get some samosas — savory filled pastries — to pass as appetizers, and the flatbread called naan to sop up the curry sauce. For dessert, how about assorted teas and a carrot cake?
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chopped onions
1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 10-ounce package frozen peas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
fresh cilantro sprigs
steamed white rice
major grey mango chutney
sliced peeled bananas
chopped pitted peeled mangoes
shredded unsweetened coconut
chopped toasted peanuts
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add curry, cumin and cinnamon; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour, then yogurt and tomato paste, whisking until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Add broth and applesauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and chill. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
2. Add chicken and peas to sauce. Simmer until chicken is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add sour cream and coconut milk. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
3. Place rice, chutney, bananas, mangoes, coconut and peanuts in separate bowls. Serve alongside curry.
