Recipe: Parsee Red Chicken Curry
Description: Yummy and Fast sauce.   It can be as spicy as you like this recipe has some kick.  Use more seeds for more spice.  If you can get dried Kashmiri-style chiles your sauce will be more authentic and red.
The dish can be stored in the fridage for 4-6 days.  It can be frozen as well.  I always freeze the leftover sauce to use in a jam in the future.
Ingredients: [{"text": "10 -15 kashmiri chilies (or fresh red chilies)"}, {"text": "2 1/2 cups coconut milk"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon cumin seed"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon coriander seed"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon sesame seeds"}, {"text": "3 cloves"}, {"text": "6 peppercorns"}, {"text": "1 inch cinnamon stick"}, {"text": "3 cardamoms (black is preferred)"}, {"text": "1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped"}, {"text": "4 garlic cloves, finely chopped"}, {"text": "3/4 cup red onion, coarsely chopped"}, {"text": "1/3 cup oil"}, {"text": "1 1/2-2 lbs chicken, cup into pieces (with or without bone)"}, {"text": "2 tomatoes, finely chopped"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon rice vinegar"}, {"text": "salt"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon garam masala"}]
