Ingredients

Curry Base

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 6 cups sliced yellow onions
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped, unpeeled gingerroot
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 bay leaf

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 2 green bell peppers, cored and cut into large cubes

Steps

  • 1
    In large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onions and tomatoes; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and start turning golden brown. Stir in garlic, gingerroot, salt, curry powder, paprika, garam masala and bay leaf. Cook about 5 minutes or until very fragrant and spices are beginning to brown. Stir in coconut milk, cashews and red bell pepper; simmer 5 minutes.

  • 3
    While curry base is simmering, heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, and brown on all sides. Add chicken to simmering curry base, heating until cooked through. Return skillet to heat; cook green bell peppers in skillet until brown. Add to curry base. Serve immediately.

  • Garam masala is a traditional spice blend very common in Indian cooking. Make your own for this dish by combining 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper, 4 green cardamom pods, 1/4 teaspoon coriander seed and 1 whole clove. Add with other spices and blend well. Delicious!
