This is the simplest way of making chicken curry that I know of. It requires some marination time, so it would be good to have it marinated at least for an hour.
Ingredients
Chicken breasts - 400 gm
Curd - 1/2 cup
Salt
Red chilly powder
Turmeric powder
Coriander powder
Garam masala
Chopped onions
Ginger garlic paste
Green chillies (slit )
Bay leaf
Cardmom pods (slightly opened)
Cinnamon stick
Cloves
Coconut milk (optional)
Chopped coriander leaves
Process
- Marination:After cleaning the chicken, cut it into small pieces and put it in a bowl.Add the curd, little salt, red chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and little garam masala. Let it sit for at least an hour in refrigerator.
- When ready to cook, heat some oil in a cooker or deep pan. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and cloves.
- After a minute, add the chopped onions and fry till they become translucent. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell is gone.
- Add the marinated chicken and the marinade to the cooker/pan.Add the coconut milk if using. Mix well.
- If using a cooker - Add some water enough to submerge the chicken and close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 whistles.
- If using a pan - when chicken starts turning white, add little water and cook for 10 - 15 mins. The chicken will be cooked if turns white even inside. Chicken cooks faster even in open pan, if required cut n check :).
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
