Winding up 2013 with this delicious and yet easy to make chicken curry.
You need –
- Chicken – 1/2 kilo, cut into bite size pieces
- Coriander leaves – 1.5 cups
- Mint leaves – 1/2 cup
- Garlic pods – 3 big
- Garlic – 1’ inch piece
- Green chili – 4-5 or per taste
- Onions – 2, finely sliced
- Yogurt – 1/2 cup, beaten
- Lemon Juice – 2 teaspoon
- Green cardamom – 2
- Turmeric powder – 1/4 teaspoon
- Cinnamon – 1 stick
- Clove – 1
- Ghee – as required
- Salt to taste
How to –
Clean and wash the chicken well. Drain the water completely and marinate the chicken with salt and lemon juice for 30 minutes.
In blender, make a fine paste of ginger-garlic, cinnamon, cardamom, clove. Set aside. Blend together the green chilies, coriander leaves and mint leaves to a fine paste.
Heat ghee in heavy bottom pan. Add the ginger-garlic and whole spice paste and fry till raw smell is gone. Add the onion and cook till translucent. Add the turmeric powder and sauté for a minute.
Add the chicken and mix well. Cover and cook till chicken is half cooked. Now add the coriander-mint paste, 1/2 cup water or as required and cook till done.
Reduce the flame and add the yogurt, salt (remember you have marinated the chicken with salt so add accordingly). Bring to gentle simmer and turn off the heat.
Serve hot with rice or Indian flat bread.
P.S – I have made the gravy thick so please add water accordingly.
