ingredients
directions
Preheat the oven and cook fries as directed on the package.
Make a green seasoning by placing the chopped onion, 2 chopped green onions, garlic, wiri wiri and thyme in a blender. Add a quarter cup of water and pulse for about 10 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl toss chicken thighs with 2-3 tablespoons of the green seasoning, until coated, then set aside.
Combine curry powder, garam masala and geera with the remaining green seasoning.
Heat a deep skillet or Dutch oven on medium-high. Add oil and once it begins to smoke, carefully add the green seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until deep brown and fragrant. Add a splash of water if the spices begin to stick to the bottom of the pan.
Arrange the chicken in the pan and cook for 5 minutes, adding a splash of water as necessary so the spices don’t burn on the bottom of the pan. Flip the chicken, cover the pan and cook an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a bowl to rest then add the tomato paste to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly, then stir in flour and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until it reaches a gravy consistency, about 5 minutes.
For assembly, arrange a portion of fries in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with cheese curds.
Chop the chicken and arrange on the curds then smother with the curry gravy. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
