Hi, this is Smita Dev and welcome to Get Curried.
Today let's see how to make an unique interesting recipe
called the Kali Mirch Chicken Drumsticks.
I have 6 Chicken Drumsticks here
which we are going to marinate with certain spices
but before that, we are going to give insertions to the pieces of the drumsticks.
Because we want the marinade to go right deep into the meat.
Let's prepare the marinade.
I am going to take 1 tsp of Ginger paste,
1 tsp of Garlic Paste,
Juice of half Lemon.
1/4 tsp of Green Cardamon Powder,
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon Powder,
1/4 tsp of Nutmeg Powder,
1/4 tsp Star Anise Powder,
1 tsp of Red Chilli Powder,
and some Salt.
Going to mix this well.
Let's apply this paste to the Chicken.
Coat the drum stick really well.
The Chicken Drumsticks are required to marinated for a minimum of 45 mins.
The more you marinate it, the better it will taste.
So let's keep this aside.
The Chicken Drum Stick have been marinated for 45 mins
and now we are going to fry these in Ghee.
I am going to heat 2 tbsp of Ghee
on a tawa, you can do it on pan
and fry these till they are crisp and done.
I am just checking that they are not getting burnt.
Now after 5 mins let's flip these over.
Now once I flipped the pieces, I am going to cover it and cook for at least 5 to 7 mins
till the meat is done.
And yes ofcourse, occasionally I am going to be checking
that they peices don't get burnt.
Now if you do not want to fry the chicken,
you can also grill it in an oven,
but I'd recommend you that baste it little bit with ghee
while you are grilling in the oven because we don't want the pieces to get dry.
I have kept a coal over here to burn
because I want to give the chicken drumsticks a lovely smokey fragrance.
And as you can see the meat is off the bone,
This piece is done, let's remove it.
Now to smoke the pieces of drumstick, I am going to take this live coal
put it in a small katori, pour some ghee on it
and just simplely cover this and keep it inside.
Now for the gravy, I am going to heat 2 tbsp of Ghee.
Add 5 chopped cloves of Garlic.
And simply fry them till golden in colour.
Now that they have turned golden,
I am going to add 1/2 tsp of Cumin Powder,
1 tsp of Coriander Seeds Powder,
here I have almonds paste. which I have made of 10 Almonds
which I had soaked for atleast 2 hours in warm water
and then just simply deskinned them and ground them to a paste.
We have sauted this Almond paste for a min.
I am going to add 1 tsp of Chilli Powder,
I am just gonna whisk in 1/2 a cup Yogurt and add this.
As you can see, the oil has separated, I am going to add 1/4 cup of water to this.
Let's add the salt.
1/2 tsp of coarsely ground Black Pepper.
A few drops of rose water to give it a beautiful aroma.
1/4 tsp of Kasoori Methi,
1/4 tsp dry mint leaves,
1 tbsp of freshly chopped green coriander.
I am going to quickly mix this.
Now the Chicken that we had smoked over here,
I am going to just toss it gently in this gravy.
I cooked these Chicken Drum Sticks for 3-4 mins in this gravy.
I am going to remove them in a serving platter.
Now what we are going to do is something really interesting.
We are going to add 2 tbsp of cream to this.
Shut the flame!
Mix this well with the gravy.
Add 1/4 cup of water to this, to just make a lovely auromatic gravy.
Just scrape off all that delicious masala that is stuck to the tawa,
which has all the flavours. Mix it in your gravy.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of fresh coriander leaves.
And now I am going to pour this sauce on Drumsticks.
Some sliced onions.
And our Kali Mirch Chicken Drumstick are ready to served, you can serve it as it is,
or with Paratha, anything of your choice.
