Curry

2 med yellow onions - peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves - chopped
2-2.25 lbs chicken - cut to 1/2" cubes
1 2" cinnamon stick
6 cloves
2 tbl paprika (I use 1 tbl half-sharp, 1 tbl regular)
2 tbl crushed coriander seeds
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper (I leave this out and we add cayenne to taste on our plates.)
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cumin
2 large yams - cut into 1/2" cubes
1 cup coconut milk  
1 cup cream of coconut (found with drink mixes)
 (Instead of the coconut milk and cream of coconut, I use a box (7oz) of organic creamed coconut and add 3 cups water.)

stir fry onions & garlic in 3 tblspoons water. Med heat 8-10 mins. Add chicken and let it cook for a few mins. Reduce heat to med-low. Throw in everything else. Cover and simmer. Stir occasionally for ~1.5 hrs.

we eat it over squash or quinoa.
