Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions, divided - red/purple/yellow onions all work
- 2 large poblano peppers - stem removes, seeded & roughly chopped
- 8 cloves fresh garlic - peeled
- 3 inch fresh ginger - peeled
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 4 teaspoon kosher salt - less if using fine salt
- 56 oz diced tomatoes - 2 28oz cans
- ½-1 teaspoon red chili powder - adjust based on your desired heat level
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 ½ Lbs gold or red potatoes - rinsed & cut into ½" dice (approx. 3 cups)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup fresh cilantro - stems trimmed, roughly chopped
Pickled Onion
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Trim and quarter the onions. Thinly slice ¾ of one onion for pickling.
- Combine water, sugar and salt in a microwavable dish. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the sliced onions to the mixture and pour the vinegar on top. Let sit uncovered until ready to serve.
- Place the remaining onion, peppers, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender and grind until it becomes a fairly smooth puree.
- Heat oil in the bottom of an oven safe pot or large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to brown a little and become fragrant. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onion mixture to the pan and allow to cook until the liquid evaporates and it begins to brown. Be careful not to let it burn! **No need to clean the blender/processor yet, you’ll use it in the next step.
- While the onion mixture is cooking, blend the tomatoes, salt, chili powder and garam masala in the food processor/blender.
- Add the tomato mixture and the potatoes to the onion mixture and allow it to heat through on a medium heat. Cover and let cook on a medium low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the mixture. Stir to combine. Drizzle with heavy cream and place in the oven, uncovered for approximately 45 minutes (check a potato for doneness).
- Remove from the oven, scatter most or all of the pickled onion and cilantro on top. Serve with rice and enjoy!
