Calling all Coriander Lovers!

Coriander always brings amazing flavor to South Asian dishes. I love the smell of coriander and can't get enough of it when used as a garnish. Here is quick and easy recipe that uses coriander as its main flavor: Green Chicken Curry.

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken skinned and cut into pieces, or 4 lbs chicken legs and thighs cut into 4 pieces

1 bunch coriander

6 green chilies

2 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 cup oil

2 tbsp ginger paste

2 tbsp garlic paste

1/2 tsp turmeric 

2 tbsp plain yogurt 

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

The night before:

Grind coriander with stems (the stems add so much flavor!), green chillies, and black pepper in a blender. Save blended paste in a Tupperware container. Feel free to mix whatever little remaining paste in blender with a few teaspoons of water to easily remove and add to the rest of the mixture.

After work:

Warm the oil in a large pot. Add garlic, ginger, tumeric, when well roasted add

the blended mixture. Fry well and then add the chicken and yogurt, and cook until chicken is almost tender. Add lemon juice and salt, mix well, and simmer for 5-10 minutes

Serve with white rice.
