NIGELLA LAWSON CHICKEN & APRICOT MASALA
Another Nigella recipe that I got off nytimes.com and have yet to try. Again, I omitted the oil called for in the recipe. (If you have no prob using oil, she calls for 1/4 cup peanut oil to be heated in the saute pan with the cinnamon stick)

Steps:

- Add 1/4 cup water, and stir to make a paste.
- Set aside.
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat cinnamon stick.
- Add onions and salt, and sauté until onions begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add masala, and stir.
- Add chicken, and stir for about 5 minutes.
- Add apricots and their soaking liquid, diced tomatoes and diluted tomato paste.
- Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- Check cooking liquid about halfway through; if chicken is covered with liquid, remove cover for remainder of cooking.
