Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 cinnamon stick or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup golden raisins or currants
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • toasted sliced almonds and fresh cilantro, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2

Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken, sweet potato, golden raisins, 4 cups water, 1¼ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes; coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the lemon juice.
Step 3

Serve warm sprinkled with the almonds and cilantro.
