Curries can be quite mild or extremely spicy. It all depends on the type of curry powder that is used to make them-and how much is added. Serve this chicken dish with rice and an assortment of curry accompaniments, such as plain yogurt, raisins, toasted almonds, and store-bought mango chutney. Curry powder, which is a mixture of several spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, comes in two varieties: spicy and mild. Madras, the kind we use here, is the spicy one.

Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons medium to hot curry powder
  • Coarse salt
  • 3/4 pound small red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes (preferably zesty flavored), with juice

Directions

  1. Place flour on a plate. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a bowl; set aside.
  2. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in same skillet; cook onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt; cook 1 minute more.
  3. Add potatoes and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover, and cook until potatoes are just tender but still offer slight resistance when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and 1/4 cup water.
  4. Return chicken to skillet along with any accumulated juices in bowl; simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
