minutesIngredients
500g chicken
1 teaspoon vinegar/ lemon juice
2 medium-sized onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
50g chicken curry masala (bought from a local store)
3 tablespoons curd
1 medium-sized tomato
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon garlic paste
Salt to taste
Mustard oil for cooking
Warm water as needed
Directions
- Preparation:
- Start by cleaning and washing the chicken thoroughly. Soak with vinegar or lemon juice for 10 minutes.
- Marination:
- Combine the chicken with turmeric, chicken masala powder, salt and curd in a mixing bowl. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes. This step enhances the flavour and tenderness of the chicken.
- Sautéing:
- Heat mustard oil in a pan. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the ginger and garlic, continuing to sauté until the raw smell disappears. - Add tomato cubes and green chillies. Saute until tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
- Introduce chicken:
- Introduce the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook on low- medium flame until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. And let the spices infuse into the meat.
- Simmering:
- Add warm water to the pan to create a rich and flavorful gravy. Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Seasoning:
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add garam masala and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Notes
- To remove the dirt inside the chicken, it is always better to soak the chicken for a few minutes in vinegar or lemon water before cooking.
- Fry onion and ginger-garlic paste properly before adding chicken. Otherwise, the raw smell remains after cooking.
