Ingredients
 

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 5 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1 piece Medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground Turmeric
  • 1 Lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup Heavy cream or Coconut Milk
  • ½ cup Water
  • ¾-1 tsp Salt, or to taste
  • ½ cup sliced Almonds, divided
  • ¾ cup

    Raisins,


  • ¾ cup Pineapple Chunks, drained
  • Garam Masala, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a deep pan. When the oil gets warm, melt the butter in it.
  • Sauté the garlic in the melted butter briefly until aromatic. Add the onion and fresh ginger and cook for about 3 minutes or until the onion softens.
  • Lower the heat and add the spices. Let the spices sizzle for a few seconds, then add the chicken and coat it with the spices. Once the chicken is fully coated/glazed, add the cream, water, salt, and half the almonds. Stir. Raise the heat to bring it to a high simmer. Cover, then gently simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Add the raisins and the drained pineapple chunks. Cook until the chicken is tender and the pineapples and raisins are fully heated through. Sprinkle with Garam Masala just before serving, if desired.
  • Just before serving, garnish with the remaining almonds. Enjoy with rice. While this is great on the day it is made, it is even better the next day so if you can wait, refrigerate it overnight and have it the next day. The recipes doubles easily. Have this with rice, naturally!
