Curried Chicken With Apple Raisins And Cashews Recipes

Steps:

• Chop whole onion.

• Mince garlic, and add to onion as it cooks. Chop celery and apple. Add to onion and garlic; cook a couple of minutes.
• Wash, dry and cut chicken into cubes.
• Grate ginger; add to the pan with cumin, coriander, cayenne and turmeric, and cook 30 seconds.
• Push the ingredients to one side, and brown chicken pieces on both sides. Then, stir all ingredients together and add stock. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, bringing to boil. Season with salt.
• Serve with cranberry chutney or chutney of choice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Saute apple and onion in butter or margarine until tender. Add curry powder and saute 1 minute more. Add flour and continue to cook 1 minute longer. Add stock or broth and milk; stir well.
• Salt and pepper chicken breasts to taste and lay in a single layer in a 9x13 inch (or larger) baking dish. Pour sauce mixture over chicken breasts and bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until chicken is done.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring to coat, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, including juice, and cilantro and bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. (If making ahead, see cooks' note, below.)
• Just before serving:
• Pulse cashews in a food processor or electric coffee/spice grinder until very finely ground, then add to curry along with yogurt and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
