EAST INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Brown chicen in a non-stick skillet, using a little vegetable oil or margarine. Remove to paper towels and drain. Discard oil or margarine, retaining any browned bits of the chicken.
• Heat the 2 TB margarine or oil in the same skillet. Add onions and garlic and saute until browned.
• Add bay leaves (crush them between your fingers first), cinnamon and cloves. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients to skillet and stir frequently.
• Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the spicy sauce over it. Cover tightly and cook over medium heat until tender.
• NOTE: I just use a 14.5-oz can of diced tomatoes, or a quart of whole home-canned tomatoes, drained.
