Spicy Tomato Chicken

This recipe comes very close to the tomato chicken my mom would make many years ago. Mom doesn't remember the original recipe. This spicy tomato chicken is just right for the cold weather!

Spicy Tomato Chicken



Ingredients

2 cups coconut milk
6-8 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 lb chicken breasts, diced
3 cloves
1 inch cinnamon stick
3 cardamons
2 tbsp red curry powder
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp tumeric powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp cumin powder

1 tbsp crushed ginger
3 red chilis
3 green chilis
1 cup fresh coriander, finely chopped
2-4 boiled eggs (optional)

Brown the chicken in the oil and set aside. Add the cloves, cardonam, cinnamon stick, green and red chilis, garlic, ginger and onions and saute for about 5 mins. Add the tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring it to a boil and add the remaining spices and salt. Add the chicken and eggs and cook covered on a low flame for 1 hr. Add the coriander before serving.
