Hello and welcome to 'Masala Trails'.
Today we're making a very simple Chicken Curry.
Which you will find practically in every home in Kerala or,
on street shops or restaurants or everything.
it's literally an everyday basic Chicken Curry.
So let's just get started.
Take a thick bottomed pan and just put your gas on high flame.
To this add some Coconut Oil.
Just let the Oil heat up a little.
Add half a tsp of Mustard Seeds.
Just let it splatter.
To this add a handful of Curry Leaves.
I got 4 slit chillies I'm going to add that as well.
An inch of Ginger roughly chopped.
And 4 Cloves of Garlic.
To this I'm going to add 3 medium sized Onions thinly sliced.
To this I'm going to add some Salt.
To this I'm going to add now half a tsp of Turmeric.
A tsp and a half of Red Chilli Powder.
And I'm going to add 6 tsp of Coriander Powder.
Give it a good mix.
And just keep stirring it till the raw smell of the spices goes away.
To this I'm now add some water just to sort of bind all the spices together.
To this now I'm going to add the Chicken.
I've added Chicken with bone in it.
Because in my Curry, I like Chicken which has bone.
But if you prefer boneless you can add that as well.
Just your cooking time will reduce a little bit.
Just give this a good mix.
So just stir the Chicken on really high flame for a good 2 minutes.
Just so that the sides sort of evenly coat the masala.
before we add the next ingredient it's important that,
everything sort of comes together.
The hero of this dish is Coriander Powder.
So we want to make sure that the Chicken is evenly covered in that.
To this I'm going to add 1/2 a cup of Coconut Milk.
My Coconut Milk is really thick which is why I'm going to add half.
If you're using packaged Coconut Milk I suggest you use an entire full cup of it.
Now just let it rest for maybe 4 to 5 minutes on low flame.
And the next 4 to 5 minutes we'll put it on really high flame,
and keep giving it a good stir.
So my Chicken has been resting for 45 minutes in the Coconut Milk.
I'm going to put just put the gas on really high flame,
and keep on stirring it.
So my Chicken is cooked through completely,
it's also got like a lovely colour to the gravy.
Like it's a dark brown as you can see.
So I'm just going to switch it off and let it sit..
..for another minute or two before serving it.
Just before serving it, what you can do is add a little Coconut Milk on top.
A few fresh Curry Leaves and it's ready to be eaten.
The best way to eat this is with Kerala Parotha or Rice.
Or even Dosa's if you like that.
I just like eating it plain as well.
So I hope you enjoyed this recipe and I hope you will make it.
