Baked Yogurt Mint Chicken Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 clove crushed garlic, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a large freezer bag. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine remaining 1 cup yogurt and chicken broth in a large bowl; mix well until smooth. Add basmati rice, green onions, tomato, chile pepper, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, ginger, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
• Pour rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and place marinated chicken on top. Discard excess marinade. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until chicken has browned and is no longer pink in the centers and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Fluff rice with a fork, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the ginger-garlic paste. Then, in a small bowl, mix together the dried mint and fenugreek leaves, garam masala, and salt. Place the chicken in a large non-reactive bowl. Add 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste, half the spice mixture, and 1 cup yogurt. Mix well, making sure all the chicken pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 and up to 24 hours.2. Heat the oil in an ovenproof saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until well-browned, about 10 minutes. Add the green chili peppers, the remaining ginger-garlic paste and the remaining spice mixture. Stir 1 minute, then add the remaining 1 cup yogurt, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling, and cook until it comes to a vigorous boil.3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix in the chicken, plus the marinade, and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover, first with aluminum foil and then with the pan cover, to seal the pan.4. Place the pan on the center rack of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce smooth. Lightly swirl in the ground cardamom seeds and mint leaves, with parts of them visible as a garnish, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
