Ingredients

Start by chopping up:

• 1/2 onion
• 3-4 garlic cloves
• ginger
• almonds

• chicken legs or breast with no skin or bones

You will also need:

• 2-3 cups of curcuma (impossible to find in Romania, still have some stock from last time I was in Paris)
• dried hot chili peppers (small), 3-4 max
• salt
• pepper
• garam masala (my stock is out and could not find anywhere here)
• 1 egg

Preparation

• Start by crushing the almonds and the chili peppers together
• Cut the ginger and the onion in small pieces

• Brown the chicken pieces in oil until they are white. Remove and store in a glass or ceramic covered bowl (I hate plastic). Usually this leaves also a bit of sauce, keep it.
• Brown together the onion, garlic and ginger.

• Add the crushed almonds and chili peppers

• Stir for 1-2 minutes and add the meat

• Add the curcuma and stir for another 1-2 minutes
• Add water (1/2 glass) and stir again
• Cover partially and leave it for 30-40 minutes on a low flame
• In the mean time:
  • prepare the couscous or the rice (sadly I use instant type as I could not find another)
  • boil the egg
• Just before it’s ready, cut the egg in small pieces and add it to the sauce and also add the garam masala if you have it
• Enjoy
