Chicken korma is a spiced Indian dish. It's not spicy-hot, but it's very flavorful from ingredients like cloves and ginger. Serve it with rice to soak in all the sauce. —Jemima Madhavan, Lincoln, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 1 large potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Hot cooked rice
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

  1. Place potato in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain.
  2. In a large skillet, saute the onion, cinnamon, bay leaf and cloves in oil until onion is tender. Add the chicken, garlic, curry and ginger; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and potato.
  3. Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat; discard cinnamon, bay leaf and cloves. Stir in sour cream. Serve with rice and, if desired, cilantro.
