Savory Ultimate Curry Recipe: A Delicious Culinary Must-Try

Step 1

In a large pot, start by placing the potatoes and covering them with water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are halfway tender, which should take around 8 minutes. Once done, drain the potatoes but keep the potato-cooking water aside.

Step 2

Next, move on to the carrots. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let them simmer until halfway tender, approximately 4 minutes. Drain the carrots once they're ready.

Step 3

Now, in a large Dutch oven, heat up some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and onion, and sauté them until the onion turns translucent and the chicken is cooked through, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, cloves, and cayenne pepper into the chicken mixture. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Combine the potatoes, carrots, garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, and lemon juice into the chicken mixture. Pour in the reserved potato water gradually until you reach your desired consistency, usually about 2 cups. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the potatoes and carrots are tender, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes. Don't forget to season with salt and black pepper to taste.
