Chicken Korma

This is another of Bambi's recipes which I've been using for years. It is very tasty and not too spicy. I call it chicken korma, but you can use any meat. It really begs to be eaten with basmati rice.

1 lb. chicken, (or any meat) cut into about 1 inch pieces

1 pint of plain yogurt

1/2 tsp. salt

Marinate meat in yogurt and salt while preparing the rest.

1 8oz. can of plain tomato sauce

1 tbsp. ground coriander

1 tbsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

6 whole cloves

2 cardamon pods, peeled

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

mix together

1 large onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, sliced

3 tbsp. butter plus one tbsp. oil

Brown onion and garlic in oil and butter until onion is golden brown. Add yogurt/chicken and tomato sauce mixture to pot. Stir well, cover and simmer until meat is cooked, approx 30 min. Uncover for last few minutes of cooking to thicken up a bit.
