CHICKEN VINDALOO WITH POTATOES

Chicken Vindaloo with Potatoes image

My husband heard of this dish and asked me to make it. I found this recipe and decided to give it a shot. Hubby and children devoured it! Not too long after, hubby and I went to an Indian restaurant and ordered their vindaloo. I was so pleased to find out this version I cooked at home was right on the mark. Garnish with toasted peanuts or sliced almonds, chopped mint and cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve over cooked rice.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon hot paprika
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium limes, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium Fresno chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
2 large bay leaves
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
1 large potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

Combine curry powder and paprika in a small bowl.
Place chicken in a shallow dish. Mix with 1/2 of the spice blend, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and let stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, chile pepper, ginger, bay leaves, and remaining spice blend. Season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes and chicken stock; bring to a boil. Slide in chicken and potato. Cover the pan partially with a lid or foil, to allow some steam to escape. Reduce heat to a simmer and poach chicken in the sauce, about 20 minutes.
