Indian Stewed Chicken recipe
information
The Beni Israel of Bombay usually serve this chicken with the deep-fried potatoes known as Aloo Makalla, though it is equally delicious with rice. Garam masala is a curry mix that can be found in the international section of many supermarkets, but if you can't find it, substitute a good curry powder. Instead of cooking it at 250°F, you can stew this chicken overnight cholent-style in a tightly covered pot.
