Sri Lankan Chicken Curry Directions
Heat butter in a casserole, add onions, and cook over medium-low heat
until softened. Add garlic, then chicken pieces and brown lightly,
stirring. Add salt, tomatoes, curry powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric,
cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, vinegar, and chicken stock. Bring
to a boil. Stir in coconut milk. Cover and simmer until chicken is
tender, about 35 minutes for breast pieces, about 50 minutes for leg
and thigh pieces. If you would like a thicker sauce, uncover, remove
chicken, and simmer sauce until thickened. Return chicken to sauce.
Taste sauce and adjust seasoning. Serve hot. Source: Faye Levy's

Food Quotes:
Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy.
Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias
