Masala Chicken
- Chicken – 1kg
- Small Onion – 1 cup
Tomato – 3 medium
Green chili – 4 - Oil – 1/2 cup
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Cinnamon – 1 inch 1 piece
Clove – 4 Garlic – 4 cloves
Red chilli – 10
Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin seeds – 1/2 teaspoon - Salt
Curry Leaves
Heat oil in a pan. Fry small onions, tomato & green chilli separately & keep aside. Grind together ingredients number 4. Stir the ground masala in the remaining oil. Add chicken pieces & salt to the masala & stir. Add required amount of water to cook chicken & cover it with a lid. Once the chicken is cooked well add the fried onions, tomatoes, green chillies & garnish with curry leaves.
Note: Adding coconut cashew paste after the chicken is done will make a thicker & much tastier gravy. Grind together 1/4 cup of grated coconut and 1 tbsp of chopped nuts with 1 tbsp water to a smooth paste. Add this paste to the curry, once the chicken is cooked & mix well. proceed with the rest of the recipe.
