Bangladeshi Curry

First: Prepare yourself for a beautiful experience. Put on your favourite music, free your mind, and enjoy every second of the process of creation!


Ingredients
One whole chicken (can also use a tray or two of legs with the bone or something)

NOTE TO ALL VEGETARIANS: THIS RECIPE CAN BE CONVERTED TO VEGETARIAN BY REPLACING THE CHICKEN WITH THE VEGETABLE(S) OF YOUR CHOICE!! Yummy!

You can also use lamb! Yum!

Fresh ginger (one whole chunk 2 inches long)
Cardamon pods (need about 5-8 per chicken)
Coriander powder (3 heaped tablespoons per chicken)
Cumin powder (4 heaped tablespoons per chicken)
Turmeric powder (2-3 heaped tablespoons per chicken)
Chilli powder (1-2 teaspoons per chicken to taste)
Cloves (about 4-8 per chicken)
Onions (1-2 large ones per chicken)
Garlic (half a full clover per chicken)
Potatoes (4-6 medium ones per chicken)
Cinammon sticks (2-3 per chicken)
(optional - coriander seeds - say 5-10 per chicken)
Natural sea salt (1-2 teaspoons per chicken)
Vegetable oil (not olive oil)

NB! If you want to be well-regarded as the authentic legend you can buy cumin seeds and coriander seeds instead of the powder and throw them through a food processor to make your own powder.

Bangla curry rocks!

Get Ready!
1) Chop up the chicken & put it in a big pot with some oil (say 2 tablespoons)
2) Grate the ginger over a ceramic dish to keep the juice, then mix it all in with the chopped chicken
3) chop up the onion and dice the garlic fine (smash it up with a rolling pin for more flavour) and fry them in vege oil until browned, then throw in with the chicken & ginger

4) fry on medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring
5) add all the herbs and spices (yep - everything from cummin powder to curry to cinammon sticks - all of it) (can add half and the rest later if you want)
6) add one teaspoon of sea salt
7) add a cup of water

8) keep stirring for 5 minutes
9) turn heat to low and boil lightly for 5 mins

10) add diced potatoes and 1 more cup of water if too dry
11) simmer on same low heat for 20-30 mins checking and stirring every 5-10 mins

12) add water and salt and chilli powder to taste as you go
13) put it on basmati rice or whatever rice you like and smack it in your gob
14) write up on my lens about how you now worship the ground I walk on and vow to keep yellow fingertips for the rest of your life to show respect to me, your new god of curry!
