Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
2 2 1/2-pound chickens, each cut into, 8 pieces
1/2 cup vegetable oil, approximately
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp minced ginger
2 tbsp minced garlic
5 tbsp prepared curry powder
2 tbsp minced fresh red or green chili pep, per of your choi
2 qt chicken stock (see note)
4 sweet potatoes, cut into large chun, ks
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cayenne, cinnamon and cloves
and mix well.
2. Dredge the chicken pieces in the spiced flour. In a large, wide
stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not
smoking. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not
to crowd the pan-work in batches if necessary. Cook until well
browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. As the chicken is browned, remove
to a platter.
3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, and cook until they just
begin to color, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, curry
powder, and chili and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
Add the stock, the browned chicken and the sweet potatoes, return to
a simmer and cook for about an hour, covered, until a peek inside one
of the pieces of chicken shows that it is cooked through.
4. Add the coconut milk and continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove
from the heat, add cilantro and serve.
Tribune test kitchen note: We used only 1 quart of stock and believe
that the stated amount would make an unacceptably thin stew.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
