Ingredients
1 kg.
chicken brest, skinned, boned and cut
into bite size pieces
Marinade:
200 gm natural yoghurt (creamy yoghurt
is better)
1 tbs. oil
1 1/2 tbs. coriander powder
1 tsp. chilli powder (adjust to taste)
Juice of 1 lemon/lime
2 tsp. sweet paprika powder for colour
1 tsp. Garam Masala
Salt to
taste
For cooking:
1-2 tbs. oil
2 medium onions peeled and thinly sliced
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated
1 inch root ginger, peeled and grated
1 large tomato, chopped*
1 tbs. tomato puree*
|
Directions
1. Wash and drain
chicken pieces.
2. Mix all marinade ingredients and make a
paste. Marinade chicken pieces in this mix
overnight or for at least a few hours. Keep it
in an airtight container in the fridge to avoid
smell getting into everything else.
3. Heat oil in a large wok or pan.
4. Stir fry chicken, along with the marinade, on
high for 6-7 minutes. Take out and keep aside.
5. In another pan, fry onion, ginger and garlic
until nicely browned.
6. Add Tomatoes and tomato puree (or soup) and
fry for a few minutes.
7. Add the cooked chicken and its marinade to
the onions and boil briskly until sauce thickens
and the chicken is tender. You may need to add a
little water or chicken stock if the gravy looks
too thick. The sauce should be of custard like
consistency.
8. Adjust spices and salt.
9. Serve hot with Roti/Naan or Rice and sliced
onion salad and slices of fresh lime.
