Chettinadu Chicken Curry Recipe
Ingredients Needed
Chicken - 1 kg
Onions - 1 medium
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Red Chili powder - 3/4 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 2 tsp
Coriander leaves handful
Garam Masala 1/2 tsp
Masala to be ground
Onions - 1 medium
Coconut - 1/2 of a whole medium size
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Whole peppercorns - 1 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1/4 tsp
Red Chili whole - 2
Method to prepare:
Wash and chop chicken into bite size. Allow it to drain.
Roast the masala to be ground, allow to cool. Then grind it to a smooth paste, adding water as required.
Heat a kadai, saute onions, add ginger garlic paste, then chicken. Cook on high flame. Let the moisture from the chicken evaporate.
Add the tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric. Cook for 5 mins. Then add the ground masala. Continue cooking till the masala turns colour and the gravy thickens.
Transfer the gravy to a pressure cooker, add major part of the coriander leaves and cook for 2 whistles or till done, then add garam masala, remaining coriander leaves.
Notes:
Add major part of the coriander leaves before pressure cooking for the aroma to steep into the gravy, you can save little for the final garnish.
