Now let's get started for this recipe .
We're gonna be going in with 800 g of chicken and we're gonna go in with a mix of chicken drumsticks and chicken thighs and I will like to use bone and chicken for this recipe because it adds a lot of flavor .
We're gonna marinate the chicken with some spices .
We're gonna go in with one tablespoon of Kashmiri chili powder .
Kashmiri chili powder is myelin spice , but it's going to give our chicken curry a lovely vibrant red color .
And to that , we're gonna add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder .
One teaspoon of coriander powder and one teaspoon of cumin powder .
And now to that , we're gonna add some salt and I'm gonna go in with about a teaspoon of salt and to give the chicken a little bit of tang , we're gonna go in with 1.5 tablespoon of lemon juice .
Now , let's mix this all together and make sure that the chicken pieces get coated on all sides with all the spices that we have put in .
Let's get a good mix .
You want the spice to get on both sides of the chicken pieces .
OK ?
Now that our chicken pieces are all well coated with the spices .
Let's keep them aside and come on over to the stove .
Let's bring our curry together to a deep heavy bottom pan on a medium heat .
We're gonna add half a cup of oil and into that .
We're gonna toss four green cardamoms , five cloves , 12 in stick of cinnamon and two bay leaves .
These spices are gonna flavor the chicken curry and make it really aromatic .
And today we're gonna add two medium size onions which I have finally chopped and this is about 300 g of onions .
We're gonna saute this .
So the onions to a nice golden brown .
This should take us about 10 to 12 minutes .
The onions are gonna give the curry a thick consistency and a sweet flavor .
The onions are going to turn a nice golden brown just about another minute or two .
And we should be there .
OK ?
The onions are looking really good .
So let's add in the tomatoes and we are gonna be adding two medium size tomatoes , which I have finely chopped and this is about 200 wraps .
And to that , we're going to add one tablespoon of garlic paste and half a tablespoon of ginger paste and one green chili , which I have finely chopped .
Now we're gonna sausage this so the tomatoes turn so and the ginger and garlic lose their raw flavor .
It should take about another five minutes or so .
This is such an easy chicken curry to cook and it makes an excellent weekday meal .
It does not involve any grinding of a curry paste .
It's just dry spices and I have got a lot of requests from subscribers asking for a curry like this .
So this one goes out to all of them .
OK ?
The tomatoes and the onions have now become one happy family .
So let's talk them into the chicken just gonna mix the chicken up with the onions and the tomatoes and we're gonna sort it , it for about 10 minutes .
You want a little color to come on the chicken , you're gonna increase the heat to a medium high , just gonna keep flipping them from side to side so that they don't burn on any side when searing the chicken and flipping the pieces over .
Make sure to be a little gentle with them so that you do not shred the chicken .
A good tip is to use a wooden spatula or a spoon .
When cooking the chicken , the chicken has got a good sear .
So now we're gonna go in with 1.5 cup of water and this is gonna help to form the curry .
Let's give this a light mixed .
And now we're gonna lower the heat to medium and allow the chicken to cook for another 10 minutes or so .
You can see that the onions that we had added have made the curry nice and thick .
The chicken is already looking so good that you're gonna allow it to cook for another four minutes in the curry before we add in the coconut milk .
And now for an added flavor and a ton of creaminess , we're gonna add in half a cup of coconut milk and to balance the flavors , we're gonna go in with one teaspoon of sugar and this is totally optional .
We're gonna give this a stir so that everything blends well , together we can check for the salt later .
It's just going to allow the chicken to cook completely before we taste it once again , gently flipping it .
And now we're gonna cover it with the lid and allow the chicken to cook .
Our chicken is looking absolutely delicious , but let's finish it off with half a teaspoon of masala and just a tad bit more salt .
We're gonna mix this up .
We just let it cook for about a minute or so .
Now chicken curry is ready so we can take out the bay leaves because their job is done .
And the cinnamon stick , our chicken has cooked and is looking absolutely delicious .
Let's switch up the heat and garnish it with some freshly chopped cilantro and there you go .
Dinner is ready .
Oh , my goodness .
Look at that .
And this chicken curry can be enjoyed on a better warm rice or any bread of your choice .
Let's top it with a piece of chicken and some curry .
And now it's time to give our chicken curry a taste .
Well , I can't wait but the chicken is so soft , so well cooked .
Her music and that curry is so nice and thick .
This chicken curry is a winner .
This is my family's favorite and I just love making it because it's so easy and quick to put together .
