Indian Chicken Curry

This is a new recipe from allrecipes.com which is easy and delicious.  Those of you who believe curry is curry is curry better think again.  Each dish is as different as the cook.

Ingredients
1 chicken, cut up and skinned
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, peeled and quartered
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 10 ounce can light coconut milk
4 whole cloves
4 pods cardamom
1 cinnamon stick

Directions
Rinse chicken and pat dry, season with salt and pepper.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, then saute chicken until browned.  Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Saute onions in skillet until translucent, add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, then stir in curry powder.

Return chicken to skillet and add tomato sauce, coconut milk, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon stick.  Season with salt to taste and stir all together.

Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through.

This can be served with rice.  Because I had lots of small new potatoes, I just added these at the end to simmer with the chicken until both were done.
