2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon round red chile pepper, minced, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt to taste
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 (3 pound) broiler/fryer chicken, cut up and skin removed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish
Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in garlic paste and ginger; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the minced chile, cumin, salt, and yogurt. Stir in chicken pieces and bell pepper. Cover pot and simmer over low heat, until the oil separates and chicken is mostly cooked, 20 to 30 minutes. Mix in potatoes; add a little water, if necessary. Cook on low heat until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
