Preparation:
Place first 8 ingredients in blender. Add 1 tablespoon mustard seeds and
blend until smooth. Transfer spice mixture to large bowl. Add chicken and 2
tablespoons oil and toss to coat well. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in
heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until golden,
about 5 minutes. Add chicken mixture and stir 3 minutes to blend flavors.
Add tomatoes with their juice and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; cover and simmer until chicken is tender, stirring occasionally, about
30 minutes. Season chicken mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in
remaining 1 tablespoon mustard seeds. Simmer uncovered until liquid is
slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick. Stir in cilantro
and serve. |
