Florine's Easy Peanut Chicken

    2 Tbsp ghee (or clarified butter)
    6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, raw and sliced into chunks
    1 large onion chopped fine
    1 Tbsp minced garlic
    1 Tbsp grated ginger root
    1 16 oz can crushed tomatoes
    1 can coconut milk (not coco lopez sweetened coconut milk)
    2 c dry roasted peanuts, ground in a food processor
    2-4 Tbsp curry powder, to taste (try to get some from an Indian market or
    specialty foods store - the package will indicate whether it is for chicken or beef)
    3 c prepared rice, jasmine is nice

Melt the ghee in a large deep skillet over med-hi flame. Add the chicken chunks and sautee for 2-3 minutes, until starting to brown. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Toss in the garlic, ginger and some salt and ground pepper to taste. Sautee for a minute or so until the garlic becomes aromatic. Add the can of tomatoes, the coconut milk, the peanut puree, and the curry powder and mix together well. Reduce to medium-low and bring to low boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and reseason with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve over rice and envision yourself in Bombay.

This was my first adventure in Indian cooking and it turned out pretty well. Hope you enjoy.
