Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450gr skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1 medium russet potato washed and peeled
  • ½ head of bok choy washed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1- inch cinnamon stick
  • 2 dry bay leaves
  • 5 whole black peppercorns
  • 3 whole green cardamom pods
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2-3 garlic cloves pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon madras curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ – 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1/3 cup 75gr Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish optional
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Dice the potatoes into small cubes. And cut the bok choy into small pieces.
  • In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add cinnamon stick, bay leaves, peppercorns and whole cloves. Cook the spices for a minute, or until it’s nice and fragrant.
  • Add pressed garlic, ginger paste and tomato paste and cook for a minute, stirring. Be careful, as hot oil will splatter. Place the lid, if necessary.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it’s nicely browned. Then add potato, bok choy, salt and all the remaining ground spices.
  • In a small dish, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir it in to the curry. Add 2 cups of water and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
  • Lower the heat to medium low and stir in yogurt. Cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro and serve with cooked rice.
