Hi guys, this is your Punjabi chef, Prateek
and today, I'm going to take you to a South Indian food trip.
Today, I'm taking your taste buds to Andhra Pradesh, I'm going to make
Andhra Style Chicken Curry.
So, let the flavourful and spicy journey begin.
For Andhra Chicken Curry, first, we will marinate the chicken
I've taken 500 gms of Chicken.
In that first I'm going to add tsp. of Salt.
Turmeric Powder
and Red Chilli Powder.
Now mix up the masala in the chicken.
After massaging the chicken nicely, let it rest for at least 15 mins.
While the chicken is resting, let's take a pan.
For the star ingredient Andhra Style masala, I'll be using Coriander Seeds.
Poppy Seeds.
Cumin Seeds.
Fennel Seeds.
2 Cinnamon Sticks.
3 Green Cardamom
and few pieces of Cloves.
Now, I'm going to dry roast them for at least 3 mins.
Make sure you roast the whole spices on low flame so that they don't get burned.
My whole spices are done.
I'm going to let it cool down and grind it into a fine powder.
Our star ingredient Andhra Masala is ready, as you can see.
For the curry, let's start chopping the Onions.
I'm using ½ kg chicken so I'm going to chop 2 onions.
For making the curry first, I'm going to add Oil.
Add Chillies.
With that Curry Leaves.
As the curry leaves start crackling, now I'm going to put chopped onions
and cook them till they get translucent.
As the onion starts getting translucent, now I'm going to put Ginger-Garlic paste.
I'm going to cook till the rawness of the Ginger-Garlic paste is gone.
The rawness of ginger garlic paste is gone and the onion has become translucent.
Now, I'm going to take the marinated chicken and put it in the pan.
Mix the chicken properly with the masala and cook for at least 10-15 mins.
By the time the chicken is getting done, let's chop the tomatoes for the curry.
There you go, two tomatoes are done. Let's get back to the chicken.
After sautéing the chicken for 10 mins, now I'm going to put in the star ingredient
The Andhra Masala which we made earlier.
Mix it nicely with the chicken.
Also, give few splashes of water.
So that the masala doesn't get burned.
Cook it for at least two-three mins.
After cooking the chicken with the Andhra masala
I'm going to put the tomatoes
Sauté the tomato till they get mushy.
As the tomato starts getting jammy, now I'm going to add seasoning.
Salt
and Black Pepper powder.
Nicely mix the chicken.
Now, I'm going to add some water to the chicken.
Mix it up.
Cover it with the lid
and cook it for 10 mins and the chicken curry will be ready.
Ten minutes are up and our Andhra Chicken curry is ready, as you can see.
Now, let's start plating.
Garnish it with fresh Coriander.
