This is an adaptation of a recipe I found in one vintage cooking book. Being naturally adventurous with my cooking, I could not help but add a few touches of my own. The result was a delicious and different spicy curry-ish dish, that I am sure someone will find exciting enough to make a staple.
You are going to need:
1/4 ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried ground chili peppers
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons of butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 glove of chopped garlic
3-4 shiitake mushrooms
2 cups water
2 middle sized potatoes
3 pound of chicken, disjointed
Mix together the spices and salt, rub it into chicken. Melt the batter in a casserole (a thick-cast frying pan would do), brown the onions and garlic in it. Add the chicken and left over spices and brown. Stir in the water. Let cook over low heat for 30 min, or until tender. Chop potatoes and add them and some extra water, if needed, to the chicken. Cook until potatoes are almost tender and add cleaned mushrooms, whole. Add vinegar. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, then remove from stove and let rest for another 10 min. Serves 4-6 ppl., depending on their appetite.
Please let me know whether you liked this recipe and are there any other small details that I should have mentioned. Thank you and Bon appetit!
