Chicken Dopiaza or chicken and onion curry

Chicken dopiaza

I love the way our apartment smells after I make Indian food. It's the garam masala, that earthy mix of spices, that permeates the air.

The other night, I made chicken dopiaza, or chicken and onion curry. I used a recipe from the January/February issue of Saveur. Onions, ginger and garlic are pulsed to a paste in a food processor, which serves as a base for the sauce. Crushed tomatoes are added, giving the sauce another layer of flavor.

The chicken I made was delectable. I didn't mind that my hands got messy when I picked up a piece of chicken. All I had to do was lick my fingers.
