Curry And Yogurt Braised Chicken Thighs


This recipe is from food and wine. i love curries, but so many of my recipes are too labor intensive for a week-night meal. this is relatively quick and easy. it's a great summer-time meal, when you can use farm-fresh produce. when fresh corn is not available, substitute 1/2 c frozen corn.

Steps


In a large , deep skillet , heat oil.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour.
Add chicken to skillet and cook over high heat , turning once , for 6 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a plate.
Add ginger , garlic , chile and bell pepper to skillet and cook over high heat until slightly softened , about 2 minutes.
Stir in curry powder and cook 1 minute.
Add tomatoes , corn , yogurt and water.
Stir until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper.
Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet and bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer over very low heat until chicken is tender and juices are slightly thickened , about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve over cooked rice.
