CHICKEN CURRY WITH BLACK CARDAMOM

This marinated chicken curry gets its distinct flavor from our slightly smoky, camphor-like Coarse Cut Black Cardamom. It's finished with yogurt for a tangy, cooling effect and a pleasant contrast of flavors.

• 1/2 Teaspoon Fine Ground Black Pepper

• 1 Tablespoon Coarse Cut Black Cardamom

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine 1-1/2 cups yogurt, chili powder, salt, pepper, black cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and chicken in large re-sealable bag, then squish around to combine.

2. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.

3. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger and chiles and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 7 minutes.
