Ingredients of Chicken Curry Â

Let’s make sure we have all the necessary materials on hand before we dig into the culinary symphony that lies ahead:

• 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 3 tomatoes, pureed
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

  

Procedure

• Marinate the Chicken:  To begin introducing flavour, marinate the chicken pieces. Yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chilli, coriander, cumin, and a dash of salt are combined with the chicken. Let the flavour of the spices infuse the meat for at least half an hour as this delicious mixture marinates.
• Sauté the Onions:Heat the cooking oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. When the onions are perfectly golden, add the finely chopped onions and sauté. This seemingly straightforward step is actually the starting point of our culinary adventure since the caramelised onions set the stage for the richness and nuanced flavours that will follow.
• Add Tomatoes:When the onions are the desired golden colour, add the pureed tomatoes to the saucepan. See the change as the onions and tomatoes combine to produce a symphony of flavours and colours. Simmer until the oil begins to pull away from the mixture, indicating that these two vital components have come together harmoniously.
• Introduce the Marinated Chicken:Alright, now it’s time to present the marinated chicken, the star of our show. Let it gently slide into the pot, then watch as the chicken transforms into a gorgeous creature, soaking up the delicious spice coating.
• Simmer and Blend Flavors:For around ten to fifteen minutes, reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the chicken stew in its own juices. The flavours combine with this slow simmering to create a flavorful symphony that gives the sauce depth and the chicken suppleness.
• Season and Spice:When the smell wafts through your kitchen, uncover the saucepan and add the garam masala as the aroma grows stronger. Add salt to taste and enjoy the complex blend of flavours for a time. Taste and adjust the spice by adding more or less, stirring the curry one last time to make sure all the fragrant spices are distributed evenly.
• Garnish and Serve:Now that the Chicken curry has reached the ideal consistency and the chicken is soft, it’s time to add the last touch. Add a good handful of fresh coriander leaves to your creation. This gives the dish a final hint of freshness and a burst of brilliant green, elevating the whole gastronomic experience.
• Pair with Basmati Rice or Naan: Chicken Curry Murghi ka Saalan is deserving of a good friend. Serve this delicious stew over warm naan or aromatic basmati rice. You’ll be left wanting more because of the symphony of flavours created by the aromatic curry and the fluffy rice or soft naan.
