Chicken Curry

It's been a while since I posted a recipe, so here goes. This is one of my favorite Indian curries to make at home, simple and ingredients that I typically have around.

Chicken Curry

3 boneless chicken breasts
2 T oil
1 onion, diced
2 t minced garlic
2 t minced ginger
1 tomato, diced
6 T plain yogurt
2 T cilantro
1/4 C water
1 t cumin, ground
1 t coriander, ground
1 t turmeric
1 t crushed red pepper
1 t garam masala
1 t black pepper
2 t salt
2 t lemon juice

In a heavy skillet, heat oil and add diced chicken breasts. Cook chicken until brown and remove from pan. Add onion and cook over medium low heat until onion is completely translucent, about 15 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, 1 t salt, crushed red pepper and 2 T water. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, yogurt, 1 T cilantro and remaining water and salt. Sprinkle with garam masala and cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add chicken back in along with lemon juice and remaining cilantro. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes and serve over rice.
