HomeAarti’s Green Minty Curry Chicken

Aarti’s Green Minty Curry Chicken

My girls started school few weeks ago and I have been meaning to write a post to share their experience.

My feelings and emotions have been exciting and stressful…

Exciting… because it’s a new year that celebrates a new milestone.

Stressful… because Ariana (my 5 yr old) broke her arm few days before starting kindergarten.

Luckily they both got great teachers and seem to be loving school. Ariana made a great impression with her pink and purple arm cast and Anabelle has been her shield and playing the perfect role of a “big sister.”

It’s been pretty hectic at our house… Once we all get home, we are on a schedule hour by hour . Eat, homework, shower, bedtime, pack lunch, prep dinner, get online, try blogging… then repeat.

I have been quite obsessed with Indian cuisine lately thanks to Aarti Sequeria from Aaarti Paarti. I just want to try every recipe that airs on her show… I guess because I have not had any fails with any of her posted recipes on Food Network thus far. In addition, I love trying the new called out spices and ingredients. I feel like I am learning while cooking. I am truly enjoying the experience.

I decided to make the minty curry chicken dish for my girls for a great start in the school year. When I started prepping and cooking up the minty masala for the chicken, my kitchen was smelling so so good… so good, that my neighbor wanted to know what I was making. She was able to smell it from outside. I told her I will bring her some food once I was done.

I did not have to make any changes on her recipe. I thought it tasted perfect just the way it was… and so did my hubby, girls, and not to forget our beautiful neighbor. My only note would be to make sure to season with salt and pepper and adjust seasoning as you’re following each step of the recipe. Also, if you’re like me and don’t like too much fat on your meat, I suggest to clean out the fat before starting any cooking activity.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 2 small bunches  cilantro  leaves, coarsely chopped,
1 1/2 bunchs 1 fresh  mint,  leaves, coarsely chopped, cups
1  red onion,  chopped
6 cloves  garlic
1 1/2 – inch piece  ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
salt  and freshly ground  black pepper
1 1/2 cups ¼  chicken stock,  plus 1 ½ cups
2 tablespoons  olive oil
2  shallots,  thinly sliced
2 teaspoons  ground cumin
1 teaspoon  ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon  garam masala
1/2 teaspoon  ground  turmeric
1 3/4 pounds 6 boneless, skinless  chicken thighs,  about, halved
1/2 teaspoon  malt  vinegar
1/4 cup plain  whole milk yogurt,  whisked until smooth
Cooked  basmati rice  or warm  naan bread,  for serving

Preparation

1. Add the cilantro, mint, red onion, garlic, ginger, and  salt,  and pepper, to  taste,  to a food processor or  blender.  Puree  on high until smooth. With the processor running, add about 1/4 cup water, and  blend  until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste, a.k.a. “masala”. Set aside.
2. In a large pot or deep  skillet  heat  the olive oil over medium  heat  until shimmering. Add the shallot and cook,  stirring  often, until golden  brown.
3. Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds. Pour the masala mixture into  skillet  and cook,  stirring  often until it deepens in  color  and aroma. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks shiny, little droplets of oil will appear on the surface, and the masala will hold together as a cohesive mass.
4. Add the chicken,  coating  every piece in the masala and  stirring  often. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, so that the masala really adheres to the chicken. Add about 1 1/2 cups water, just enough to cover the chicken, and the vinegar. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the  heat  and  simmer,  uncovered, until the chicken is  tender  and sauce has  thickened  slightly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from  heat  and  stir  in the yogurt.  Taste  and adjust seasonings, if needed. Transfer the mixture to a  serving  dish  and  serve  over rice or with  warm  naan  bread.
