Maharaja Curry image

This is a really nice Indian recipe, taught to me by an elderly Indian lady, who used to cook for all her family. It is a simple recipe and tastes lovely served with rice. You can also use mutton instead of chicken.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
5 peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cumin seed and cook until they start to pop, 20 to 45 seconds. Stir in onion, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with turmeric, cayenne, garam masala, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
