Step 1

Make the curry: combine bay leaves, curry powder, paprika and cumin in a small dish.

Step 2

In a microwave safe large deep dish (6-cup capacity) combine vegetable oil, tomato puree, onion, garlic, chicken, and ginger. Cover with Duo Cover and microwave for 1 minute at Power Level 10 or until fragrant.

Remove Duo Cover. Add spice mixture from step #1 into the large deep dish and stir thoroughly.

Remove Duo Cover and serve curry with rice.
