A spicy , aromatic Chicken Curry which is best made with chicken in bone —-
Please avoid it if you are not a spice lover — since it is really a hot one —-
After repeatedly cooking and having sweet (pithe , payesh , patishapta) for almost a week — since we Bengalis were celebrating Poush Sankranti — thought of making something really spicy — just to tickle our taste bud —-
There are many versions of this dish on internet — an d this time I made it my own way —
Curry paste: Most Important ingredient
- 1 sliced onion
- 4 big red chilli
- 4 pods of garlic
- 3 tsp of coriander seeds
- 2 tsp of cumin seeds
- 2 tsp of fenugreek seeds
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 4 to 5 cardamom
- 2 stick of cinnamon
- 4 to 5 cloves
- 2 to 3 strands of javitri(optional)was totally my own whim to add javitri
- 7 to 8 curry leaves
Ingredients:
- 500 gm of chicken ( cut in medium size)
- 2 tsp of ginger garlic paste
- 2 tsp of turmeric powder
- 2 tsp of red chilli powder
- salt to taste
- 2 tsp of lemon juice
- 3 tsp of tamarind pulp
- 2 tsp of sugar
Method:
Take a frying pan heat 2 tsp of oil, add in the curry paste ingredient , slightly roast them on the pan — keep it aside and allow it to cool — After a while make a paste out of it putting all the ingredients in a blender —
Marinade the chicken pieces with ginger garlic paste, salt and lemon juice for 2 to 3 hours —-
Heat some sunflower oil in a wok — add sliced onions — fry them till brown —
Add in the marinated chicken pieces , fry them on medium heat — mix in the curry paste with the chicken and saute it for 20 minutes , on low flame —
After 20 minutes add salt , red chilli powder, turmeric, tamarind pulp and sugar to taste , saute for another 10 minutes —
Pour in some hot water , cover the wok with a lid — and let it simmer on low flame —
Remove the wok from stove , when chicken is cooked through —
Garnish with some coriander and curry-leaves –:)
Looks very flavorful ✌✌
