Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make chicken with dried apricots and curry? Gather your ingredients. You can use any parts of the chicken — drumsticks, thighs, and breasts all work. Vary the choice and amount of spices to your taste. Wash and dry the dried apricots.
Step 2:

Peel and chop the garlic any way you like — with a knife, a press, or a grater. Peel and grate the ginger. You can use dried ginger instead of fresh.
Step 3:

Rinse the chicken, pat it dry, and cut it into serving pieces.
Step 4:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, then remove it from the skillet.
Step 5:

Add the garlic to the skillet where the chicken cooked. Cook it over low heat for 1 minute.
Step 6:

Next, add the ginger, dried apricots, and tomatoes. I used canned tomatoes in their own juice, but crushed tomatoes, diluted tomato paste, or fresh tomatoes (chopped first) all work.
Step 7:

Warm everything together for about 7 minutes.
Step 8:

Add the spices and salt, and stir.
Step 9:

Return the chicken to the skillet.
Step 10:

Simmer the dish, covered, for about 30 minutes, stirring now and then and keeping an eye out so the sauce doesn't scorch. If it gets too dry, add a little boiling water. Serve with any side dish you like. Enjoy!

Since everyone's sense of salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, and hot is different, always season to your own taste. And when you're trying a seasoning for the first time, remember that some — chili pepper, for one — are especially easy to overdo.
If you use a ready-made spice blend, always check the label. These blends often already contain salt, so account for that or you risk over-salting the dish.
One thing to keep in mind: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so choose one that suits what you're cooking.
