Instructions for Chicken Dopiaza (Chicken in a Fried Onion Sau

Cut chicken into serving pieces. Whole legs should be separated into drumsticks and thighs. Whole breasts should be cut into 4-6 pieces, depending on their size. Skin all the chicken pieces. Chop half of the onions coarsely. Cut the remaining onions into halves lengthwise, and then crosswise into very thin slices. [This is the key step!]. Put CHOPPED onions, ginger, and garlic into a food processor and blend to a paste. Heat oil in a large, wide pot or deep-frying pan (nonstick) over a medium flame. When hot, put in the SLICED onions and stir fry them until they are deep, reddish-brown. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon, squeezing out and leaving behind as much oil as possible. Set aside onions in a plate. Remove pot/pan from flame. Put in blended paste (watch out for sputtering!). Put the pot back to heat. Stir and fry the paste until it is brown, about 3-4 minutes. Now put in the coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne; stir once. Put in 1 tab of yogurt. Stir about 30 seconds or until yogurt is incorporated into sauce. Do the same with remaining yogurt, 1 tab. at a time. Put in the chicken pieces and stir them around for a minute. Pour in water, add the tomatoes and salt. Stir to mix and bring to simmer. Cover, turn heat to low and cook 20 minutes. Sprinkle in the garam masala and the fried onions. Mix. Cook, uncovered, on medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens. Skim off the fat and put the chicken in a warm serving dish. Sprinkle the green cilantro over the top. Note: This is not called chicken dopiaza by M. Jaffrey.
