I love chicken in any form, dry, gravy, fried, minced, anything. Though the Husband is a fish-lover, chicken finds a place in our menu at least thrice a week. Cooking something new each time is really interesting since I can learn new recipes. I usually make recipes less spicy keeping in mind my toddler's taste buds. But at times, it is great to eat something fiery hot, especially with a non-spicy gravy/kuzhambu and a poriyal/stir fry. Such a day, we wanted to try something really spicy ( after jam overload ) and tasty. Thus happened this recipe : fiery, red hot spicy and yummy !
Ingredients :
To marinate :
To grind to a fine paste :
Method :
Ingredients :
- Chicken cut into small pieces : 1 lb/500 gms
- Garam masala : 1 tsp
- Fennel seeds : 1 tsp
- Cloves : 4-5 nos.
- Curry leaves : 2 sprigs
- Onions : 2 big chopped
- Garlic pods : 6-8 sliced
To marinate :
- Lemon juice : 1 tbsp
- Kashmiri chilli powder : 3 tsp
- Yogurt : 1 tbsp
- Salt : to taste
To grind to a fine paste :
- Red chillies soaked in water for ten minutes : 2-3 nos.
- Curry leaves : 2-3
Method :
- Marinate the chicken pieces overnight/ for minimum 3 hours with the ingredients under 'to marinate'.
- Grind the soaked red chillies and curry leaves to a fine paste. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add cloves, fennel seeds and sliced onions.
- When the onions are transparent, add the sliced garlic pods and curry leaves to this.
- Next add the marinated chicken pieces. Give a nice stir, close and let it cook.
- Add the finely ground paste, mix to coat the chicken well.
- Keep checking frequently. Since we are not adding any water, there are chances that chicken might stick to the bottom.
- Give a stir in between, to ensure cooking evenly.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the garam masala and give another stir.
- The chicken should be fully cooked with no water at all. Check salt level and add more if needed.
- If needed, add some more oil to get the chicken fully roasted. Once dry and cooked, switch off the gas. Garnish with curry leaves.
- Serve hot with Rice, mor kozhambu and veggie stir fry or with chapathis.
