Fried Curry Chicken

A traditional North Indian-style curry with tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a medley of spices for depth and heat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon curry powder 3/4 teaspoon onion powder 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 pound skinless, boneless
  • chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips
  • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture to use as a dipping sauce. Place the chicken in the bowl, and coat with the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
  2. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and flour. Dredge the coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Discard remaining yogurt mixture. Fry the coated chicken in the skillet 15 minutes, or until juices run clear. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce.
