Chicken curry

[cjsmith]

For many months now, I've been trying to learn to make a basic chicken curry.

Despite the fact I have the instructions written down, I haven't considered myself able to do it. I tend to get into the most trouble in the kitchen when trying something I think I can do, but trying it on my own, without supervision or help. I'll end up ruining it for sure. Naturally, I get awfully tired of that. Last time I was bold enough to do something that stupid it took nearly a week to get the stench out of the house.

I am pleased to report that last night I passed my checkride. I made a batch of chicken curry WITH supervision but WITHOUT help, and I didn't ruin it.

This gives me the following non-baked-goods recipes I am now competent to attempt solo:

Cheese fondue
Meatloaf
Palak paneer
Plain white rice
Chicken curry

(These are in the order I learned them.)

What I usually do is cut up onions and celery and maybe mushrooms, saute. Remove veggies from pot. Cut up chicken, brown. Return veggies to pot; pour in some liquid (~1 cup) and dump in some curry spices (likely from some pre-made mix), simmer for an hour or until chicken pieces fall apart in your mouth. Based on my experiences with http://www.olum.org/yduj/recipe/pomegranate-chicken.txt. It's the simmer for an hour part that makes the difference.
