Madurai chicken curry recipe |
||
|
Time Taken : 30-45 mins
Ingredients: 1/4 kg or 0.55 pound - chicken 1 - finely chopped onion (size:big) 1 - finely chopped tomato (size:medium) 1 inch - ginger 8 pods - garlic 1 tsp - chilli powder 1/8 tsp - turmeric powder 3-4 tbsp - oil 2&1/2 cups - water Salt to taste For garam masala (grinding required) 5 - cloves 2 - cinnamon sticks 1/4 tsp - cumin seeds 1/4 tsp - saunf/sombu 2 - black cardamon ( I used green cardamon instead) 1&1/4 tsp - whole pepper 1&1/2 tsp - coriander/dhaniya powder Method:Step 1 Except coriander powder, dry roast all the garam masala ingredients. Grind it in to slightly coarse powder and then add coriander powder and grind it for a few seconds. Do not add water in this process. Step 2 Grind the ginger and garlic into a fine paste. Add 3-4 tbsp of water. Step 3 In a sauce pan, heat oil. Add the chopped onions and saute until it turns golden brown. Add turmeric powder and fry it for few seconds. Add tomato, 1/4 tsp of salt and let it cook until it becomes mushy and blends nicely with the onion. Add chicken and fry it until its color changes. This should take 1-2 minutes (in the US)/3-5 minutes (in India). Add ginger garlic paste and fry it until its raw smell disappears and the oil starts leaving the pan. Add the remaining salt, chilli powder. Mix it well. Add 2 cups of water and let it cook for 5 minutes. Now add the garam masala, remaining 1/2 cup of water and let it cook for 30 minutes on a low flame. Close the lid to lock in the aromo while cooking. Remove from flame. Garnish with coriander leaves, curry leaves. Serving suggestion: Hot rice, rotis/parathas Tips: Add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder or 2 tsp of vinegar while cleaning chicken. This helps to sanitize the chicken. Cut Chicken in small pieces. It helps the chicken to absorb masala. If using pressure cooker, add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 10 minutes on a medium flame. Add garam masala, 1/2-1 cup of water and pressure cook. After the first whistle, reduce the flame and cook for 3 minutes.  |
