A Gentle Curry

This was from the The Splendid Table website (http://www.splendidtable.org/recipes/chicken-curry-with-gentle-spices)

1 large onion, cut in half

6 large garlic cloves

1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled

1-1/2 generous teaspoons of a blend of ground coriander, cumin and fresh-ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3 to 4 canned tomatoes

2 jalapeños, stemmed and seeded

1/2 cup water 

Give this a whir and you get a paste. 

You cook this in some oil, add 1/2 c of yogurt (I used my homemade yogurt which I make and eat all the time (see below) and cook that down.  Finally you add another 1.5 cups of yogurt, some water and 2 pounds of chicken and let that cook.  Serve it over rice.  Great taste.
