Made this last night for tea...found it in my old recipes and I'd given it a rave review 2 years ago and forgotten about it....so many recipes to try, so little time :o) Absolutely wonderful.... CHICKEN DOPIAZZA - 4 serves 3 Tbsp oil 8 small onions, halved 2 bay leaves 8 cardamom pods 4 cloves 3 dried red chilies 8 black peppercorns 2 onions, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2.5 cm ginger root, finely chopped 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 1 tsp chilli powder 1/2 tsp salt (optional) 4 tomatoes skinned and finely chopped (I used 1 tin of tomatoes) 1/2 cup water 8 pieces of chicken ie thighs and drumsticks, skinned Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large saucepan and fry the small onions for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside. Add the remaining oil and fry the bay leaves, cardamoms, cloves, chilies and peppercorns for 2 minutes. Add the chopped onions, garlic and ginger and fry for 5 minutes. Stir in the ground spices and salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the water and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the chicken and cook for about 15 minutes. Return the reserved small onions to the pan, cover and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Serve with plain rice. -- ~~Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please read the FAQ posted each week.
