This has a similar flavor palette as Aunt Jan's recipe "Babotie", although this is made with chicken. The currants add sweetness and the pistachios add crunch and saltiness. Serve with Basmati Rice or on Flatbread/Naan. I have also made this with ground beef and it tastes great!

In a large skillet, combine the chicken, currants, tomato paste and garam masala. Season with salt and pepper, then add enough water to barely cover the mixture, then drizzle with the oil. Simmer uncovered and stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until chicken is tender and the mixture is saucy. Season with salt, pepper and additional garam masala. Serve sprinkled with nuts and drizzled with oil. I have made it with no oil at all and it is great.
Optional garnish: Sliced radishes or baby arugula/spinach or both.
Serve with Basmati Rice or some type of flatbread.
