Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • 2 cups chopped onion

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons wine vinegar

  • 1 bay leaf

  • salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Toast turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir spices constantly as they toast to ensure they do not burn.

  2. Stir in onion, olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in tomato paste until no lumps of paste remain. Add chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, broth, wine vinegar, and bay leaf; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

  4. Uncover and continue cooking until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt, black pepper, and additional cayenne pepper.
