Low Fat Chicken Dopiaza

This may not be an authentic Chicken Dopiaza, but it does feature plenty of onions (dopiaza means double onions) and some aromatic Indian-style spices.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 green chilies, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 15-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup water

Preparation:

Heat oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or skillet. Add onions, chilies and garlic, and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add spices and cook until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture will be quite dry. Pour in tomatoes and water. Stir and scrape up any bits that have browned on the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Serve over Basmati, Pilau or whole grain rice.
