Follow The Directions

01

Step

Rub chicken thighs with curry powder, salt, and garam masala; cover and set aside. Combine onions, 2 tablespoons water, garlic, paprika, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a blender; blend into a smooth paste. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Heat oil in a large, lidded skillet over medium heat. Add onion-spice paste; cook and stir until darkened, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken thighs; cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, fish sauce, and lemongrass; cook 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water; bring to a boil. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

Cover skillet and reduce heat to low; cook until chicken begins to fall apart, stirring occasionally, 25 to 35 minutes. (Simmer time: 30 minutes)

04

Step

Uncover skillet; increase heat and cook until sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Skim and discard excess oil from top. (Reduction time: 5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use homemade garam masala. You can find recipes online or in Indian cookbooks.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
Serve with steamed jasmine rice, naan, or roti for a complete meal.
