1 shallot finely chopped
1/4 white onion
2 tbl spoons butter or olive oil
1/2 squeezed lemon (2 tsp juice)
4-6 garlic cloves
1 tbl spoon ginger
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
pinch cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 bay leaf
1 cup (1-1.5 small container(s)) Greek yogurt
1 small can tomato paste
salt/pepper to taste
1 pound boneless chicken (or lamb) (or veal) (or beef)
a few potatoes
1 bag frozen peas and carrots (or any other veggies: corn, spinach, etc.)
1. Cook lamb/chicken until lightly browned and remove from pan and set aside, in yummy meat juice add butter or oil (whichever you prefer) and sautee shallot, onions, garlic until translucent, then stir in ginger, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt/pepper and bay leaf. Add tomato paste and reduce to low heat, stirring frequently for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate pan cook frozen vegetables and potatoes, once thawed, drain excess water from frozen vegetables and add them to the sauce.
3. Stir in chicken/lamb and taste it--add any additional spices (I often want more cayenne or salt/pepper--NOTE: keep in mind you will be adding Greek yogurt so you can make the sauce very spicy and it will mellow once combined with the yogurt)
4. Let cook on low heat for 10 min.
5. Right before serving stir in Greek Yogurt.
