Ingredients
5 cloves garlic
One 3-inch chunk peeled, fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 heaping teaspoon whole cloves
10 green cardamom pods
8 whole allspice
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
1 bay leaf
1 medium yellow onion
2 teaspoons Madras-style curry powder
1/2 jalapeno, or more to taste
3 pounds mixed skinless, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks (separated)
1/2 cup whole, peeled, canned tomatoes (with puree), roughly chopped
2 cups cold water
Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney
Directions
In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic and ginger and puree to a paste.

Heat the oil in a stew pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add the cloves, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until dark and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the tomato and chicken and cook, stirring, until the oil begin to separate and there is a distinctive crackling sound as the ingredients "re-fry" in the oil, about 6 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until the chicken is lightly browned, about 7 minutes more.

Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and stew for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the liquid thickens into a sauce, about 30 minutes more. Transfer chicken curry to a serving bowl and serve with rice and chutney

Why not add brown sugar?

Brown sugar is for tea while burnt sugar is kind of gravy but a little bit bitter. It is pure black in color

Beware: The next questions might sound stupid.

1. Can you buy the burnt sugar off the shelf
2. If not, how do you burn the sugar?

Buying burnt brown sugar is basically buying molasses. I usually burn the sugar by putting some sugar in a tin can and then leaving on the gas. Brown sugar burns because of the molasses in it whereas white sugar turns to syrup.

The Jamaican dish is called curry chicken and the Indian one is chicken curry. The way Jamaicans make curry chicken is different from the Indian recipe, funnily. I watched a lot of videos on the Indian recipe and having grown up in Jamaica, there are differences in the two recipes. The Nigerian recipe is more similar to the Indian recipe in terms of making look more like a stew than a thick rich gravey.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Dude, is that all u can say?

Here's my version of the dish. Its simple and easy to prepare.

Garlic, Onion, Ginger, curry powder (enough to cover a whole chicken)
Whole Chicken, cut up
potatoes (helps to thicken the sauce and balances the curry)
carrots (has sugar content that sweetens the dish)
can of coconut milk
Schezuan or Jalapeno Peppers (optional)

Saute garlic, onion, ginger, curry powder. Place cut up chicken and mix well. Add 2 cups of water, simmer for 45 minutes. Add cut up carrots, potatoes and coconut milk (semi-freeze) simmer until the sauce thickens.  Serve over rice and cucumber salad.

Curry Chicken stinks.
