Hi, this is Smita Dev and welcome to Get Curried.
Today I am in a mood to show you an amazing rustic recipe.
For this Chicken Curry first I want to make the spice paste.
For that, I have a medium sized Onion that I have roughly chopped,
a medium sized Tomato,
10 cloves of Garlic,
5 Green Chillies,
an inch of Ginger,
10 Pepper corns,
a tsp of Coriander seed powder,
and now we are going to grind this to a paste.
I am going to add in a tbsp of Chilli powder,
And our spice paste is ready.
I am going to heat 3-4 tbsp of Mustard Oil.
The Oil is hot let's add 2 Bay leaves,
and 3 dry red Chillies that I have broken.
I am going to quickly add 4 medium sliced Onions.
And fry this till the Onions are golden brown.
The Onions are quite brown but I want them to be a little more crisp and golden.
So I am going to add a tsp of Salt so the process becomes a little faster.
The Onions have caramelized beautifully and have got a lovely golden crisp look to it.
I've got 750 gms of Chicken here, which I am going to add.
And we're going to sear this Chicken for at least 5 mins on a high flame.
I basically want the meat to change it's colour slightly.
The meat has changed colour, let's add the spice paste.
A tsp of Turmeric,
And now we are going to fry this masala and the Chicken till the Oil separates.
The Oil has separated, time to add a litre of water to this.
We need to adjust the Salt.
We've already added a tsp of Salt.
Give this a good stir.
And cover and cook till the Chicken is cooked.
We had kept the Chicken to cook for almost 30 mins.
And our Chicken is ready, you can see the beautiful layer of Oil that's floating.
To finish off this gravy, I'm going to add a tsp of Green Cardamom powder.
½ a tsp of Cinnamon powder,
a pinch of Clove powder,
just gently stir the Curry.
Switch off the flame.
Remove the curry in a serving bowl.
Garnish it with a green Chilli.
And the Dehati Chicken Curry is ready to be served.
Serve it with a paratha or break of your choice.
