Almonds chicken
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
- 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

You can find now turmeric in Romania is the natural ingredients shops. Garam Masala I make fresh at home and the ingredients you can find in any Romanian supermarket.
