    Chicken curry

    • Facebook

     

    I love cooking chicken this way.This is how the chicken curry is made in our household as far as I can remember.The spices that are crushed and added in final stages of cooking brings out such a nice flavor and aroma which I defenitely look forward to enjoying.
    Ingredients
    1 whole chicken cleaned and cut into pieces
    2 '' cinnamon pieces
    1 bay leaf
    2 cardomom and clove pods each
    curry leaves
    1 green chilli chopped
    1 large onion chopped
    1 large tomato chopped
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    3 pods of garlic and 1' inch ginger crushed
    ¼ teaspoon turmeric
    2 teaspoon coriander powder
    1 teaspoon cumin powder
    ½ teaspoon kashmiri chili powder
    some cumin seeds,fennel seeds and pepper corns crushed(save for last)
    ¼ cup of thick coconut milk
    oil
    Method
    • Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan and add cinnamon,bay leaf, cardamom,clove and curry leaves.
    • Add the onions,a pinch of salt and cook till the onions turn soft and add in the crushed ginger garlic paste.
    • Fry for a while till it turns light brown in color and add the chopped tomatoes and the spices.
    • Add a little bit a of water and cover and cook for till the tomatoes are soft.Add in the tomato paste,chicken,a cup of water,salt and cook till the chicken is done.
    • Stir the coconut milk in and heat it through.
    • Two to three minutes before you switch off the fire add the crushed spices.Adjust seasoning.

     

    *Notes:

     

    • I have reduced the amount of chili powder because i feed this to my kids and added tomato paste to retain the reddish color.You can add more chilli powder if you want to fire things up a bit.
    • When I'm too lazy or pressed for time to extract the coconut milk I use about 2 tablespoon plain yogurt.
