INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup vinegar
* 1 tablespoon salt

* salt and pepper to taste
* 2 cups uncooked white rice
* 1 onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 4 tablespoons curry powder

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add chicken and soak for 20 minutes. Rinse chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Discard vinegar, and set chicken aside.
2. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until browned. Add the chicken pieces, and fry until browned all over, stirring constantly. Pour in the rice, and season with thyme and curry powder. Stir in the water.
