Spices & Sprinkles

Ingredients: 

• 1 lb. chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces  
• 1 T vegetable oil 
• 2 T butter or ghee 
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced 
• 1 T cumin 
• 2 teaspoons paprika 
• 1 t salt 
• 1 t ginger 
• 1 t cayenne pepper 
• ½ t cinnamon 
• ½ t curry powder 
• ¼ t turmeric 
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 14 oz. tomato sauce 
• 1 cup heavy cream 
• 1 T sugar (or more for taste) 
• Fresh parsley, minced, to taste and to top 

Directions: 

1. In a small pan, sear the chicken thighs pieces to get some color on them. They do not need to be all the way cooked – they will cook the rest of the way in the sauce. 
2. In a dutch oven or large pan with high sides, heat the butter or ghee until melted and a little bubbly. Add the garlic and spices to bloom them to get better flavor (about 1-2 minutes, continuously stirring). 
3. Add the yellow onion and saute for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. 
4. And the rest of the ingredients and the chicken and cook for about 30 minutes.
