Curry Chicken

Great curry recipe that has the right combinations of flavor and spice. Great over rice (obviously).

Ingredients

3 onions (or dried onions to taste)
¼ cup olive oil

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
2 cloves crushed garlic
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp paprika
3 tbsp curry powder
½ tsp white sugar
1 pinch salt

1 tbsp tomato paste
1 (3 lb) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
Water to cover

½ lemon, juiced
½ tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Fry onions in olive oil until browned. Add cinnamon and bay leaf. Continue stirring and add the ginger, paprika, curry powder, sugar, salt and garlic. Continue stirring for 2 min till mixture becomes a paste.
2. Add chicken pieces and tomato. Add enough water to just cover the chicken. Simmer until chicken is done – about 20 minutes
3. Just before serving, add the lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
4. Optional: If you like your sauce thicker, after the 20 minute simmer remove about ½ cup of the liquid with a measuring cup and put it into a jar with 2-3 tbsp of flour. Shake till dissolved then add and stir into the pot.
