Hi, this is Smita Deo and welcome to 'Get Curried'
Today, let's see how to make the Amritsari Bhuna Murg.
So, I have 750 gms of Chicken here.
I am going to marinate it with 1 tbsp of Deggi Mirch Powder.
2 tbsp of Anardana Powder.
This gives an amazing flavour to Chicken Curry.
1/2 tsp of Kasuri Methi.
A heaped tsp of Garlic Paste.
A heaped tsp of Ginger paste.
1/2 cup of Yogurt
and 1 cup of finely chopped Onion
and mix this well.
I haven't added salt to this marination because if I add salt the raw Onions ...
... will sweat and the marination will become slightly watery which I don't want.
Let's keep this aside for at lest half an hour to 45 mins...
... the longer you marinate it, the better it would taste.
So let's keep this aside.
Now after marinating the meat for almost an hour.
I am going to heat 3 tbsp of Oil.
The Oil is hot let's add 1 inch of finely chopped Ginger.
and 4 Cloves of Garlic that is finely Chopped.
I am going to saute this till it becomes slightly golden in colour.
The Ginger and Garlic has turned golden, I am going to add 4 slits Green Chillies.
And then immediately I am going to add a tbsp of Deggi Mirch Powder.
1/2 tsp of Turmeric.
Quickly just stir this.
And I am going to add marinated meat to this.
And saute this Chicken for 5 mins on a high flame.
Now after 5 mins of bhunauing or sautéing this Chicken.
I am going to add 1 tbsp of Butter to this and continue sautéing this.
You can see the fat is separating on the sides here.
Now we will add 1 cup of chopped Tomatoes to this.
and continue to saute it/bhunno it.
So while we are doing the process of bhunauing ...
... the chicken is getting cooked in its own juices and with the moisture...
... from the Tomatoes and the Onions.
The flame is still on a high.
And I am going to continue to saute this till ...
... the Tomatoes have got cooked soft and mushy.
The Tomatos have turned soft and mushy.
Let's add the Salt.
I am going to add 1 tbsp of Coriander Seed Powder.
1/2 tsp of Cumin Seed Powder.
I normally roast the Coriander and the Cumin seeds before I make them into a Powder
I am going to continue sautéing this.
As you can see, in spite of not adding water to this...
...a beautiful gravy is getting formed.
This is because of the moisture from Onions, Tomatoes, and the Yogurt.
So we have been sautéing this chicken for almost 15-20mins.
I am going to sprinkle 1 tsp of Garam Masala Powder
Mix it well.
And now just cover it and cook it on a low flame till the meat is done.
Which will take around 10mins.
Its been 10 mins we have kept the Chicken on cook and it is ready, I can see...
... the meat is off the bone
I am going to remove this in a serving bowl.
And let's garnish this with a dollop of Fresh Cream.
Finely chopped Coriander.
Julienne of Ginger.
and finely chopped Green Chillies.
And the Amritsari Bhuna Murgh is ready to be served.
You can have it with Parathas or any bread of your choice, its a very simple recipe.
