though they are famous for Biryani and Kebabs.
But the recipe belongs to the streets, so guys join me and let's prepare
Pakistani Style Dhaba Chicken Curry.
So, let's start cooking.
To start the Dhaba recipe, first I'm going to take a pot
Switch on the gas.
Add Oil.
With that also I'm going to add little Ghee
which will enhance the flavour of the dish.
Once the oil starts heating up, I'm going to add Ginger-Garlic paste
Saute it for a minute.
After sauteing it for a minute, now I'm going to add the chicken pieces.
And saute the chicken with the ginger-garlic paste for at least 5 mins.
After cooking the chicken for 5 mins, now I'm going to add sliced Green Chillies
and cook for two more minutes.
Next, I'm going to add 2 sliced Onions and cook till it get nice golden brown.
As the onion and chicken and slightly brown in colour now I'm going to add tomato
and cook till it gets a mushy texture.
After getting a mushy texture from the tomatoes,
now I'm going to add Turmeric Powder.
Red Chilli Powder.
Coriander powder.
Cumin Powder.
Garam Masala.
Salt
and Black Pepper Powder.
Now, I'm going to add some water to the chicken so the masala doesn't get burned
and cook the masala till the rawness of the masala is completely gone.
Once the masala is properly cooked,
Now, I'm going to add little yogurt to the masala
this will give a nice velvety texture once the gravy is ready.
Now that the chicken is 75% cooked, next I'm going to add little cream
which will add richness to the gravy.
After adding the cream, lower the heat
and cover and cook for at least 5 mins.
There you go guys, our chicken is almost cooked.
And the gravy is thick and rich,
Now, I'm going to add a little butter to the gravy
this will add richness and flavour to the gravy.
And again I'm going to close the lid and cook it for at least 2-3 mins.
The chicken is almost ready
and the oil has started separating from the sides.
Now, I'm going to add good amount of chopped Fresh Coriander.
Mix it nicely with the gravy
and cook it for two more mins.
And our Pakistani Dhaba Chicken Curry is ready - let's start plating.
For garnish, I'm going to put Juliennes of Ginger,
Juliennes of Tomato,
and torn pieces of Mint.
