Indian Chicken Masala Curry

Scribbled Underline

Add chicken, salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, and lime juice to the bowl and mix well using your fingers.

step 1

Cover the bowl with a lid and set it aside.

step 2

Add coriander seeds, cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, green cardamoms, cumin seeds, and Kasuri methi to a skillet. Dry roast on low heat until fragrant. Grind to make a powder.

step 3

Heat mustard oil in a large wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until it is lightly browned. Remove the pieces to a plate.

step 4

Add oil to the same pan. Once hot, add dry red chilies and onions. Saute for 8-10 minutes until the onions are golden brown in colour. Add pureed tomatoes and green chilies and cook for 3 minutes.

step 5

Now add Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and the spice mix that we made earlier and saute for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the sides of the pan. Add plain yogurt and cook for 2-3 minutes.

step 6

Now add the chicken pieces back to the pan and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked well. Stir a few times while cooking.

step 7

Check for salt and add more if needed. Add some water if you like thinner gravy and cook for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro (coriander) and serve hot.
