Slow Cooked Chicken Curry Recipe _ How To Make Chicken Curry _ Easy Chicken Recipe By Smita Deo

Today , I thought , let's make a simple chicken curry , which I usually make at my home using the slow cooking method .

You know , uh most of us cook our meats and pressure cookers in a jiffy .

But somehow I feel the taste comes out when you slow cook your meat .

And so today , I thought , let me share you a recipe that I usually make at my home .

So first , let's make that masala , the onion and the coconut masala for that , I've already kept two large onions to be fried till they're nice and golden brown .

Now , the technique that I'm using here is basically , I have just heated up a small cut high and I have put the onions into it and without oil till they are slightly dehydrated .

I'm going to fry them and now they've changed color .

They're seeing quite dehydrated .

I'm going to add two tablespoons of oil to this and fry this or saute this till they are nice , golden brown in color .

One more reason that I add salt to the onions is because I make this paste in a bulk .

Since , you know , I come from the coast , I use a lot of coconut in my cooking .

And so I make this onion and the coconut paste in bulk and I put it into small containers and freeze it up for the entire week .

So , you know , cooking becomes much more easy .

So let me add a little salt to this just half a teaspoon .

As you can see , the color has completely changed and the onions are reduced in quantity as well .

So let me just remove this into a bowl .

Now , in the same , I'm going to roast some fresh coconut .

One cup of fresh coconut , you can see the color of the fresh coconut is also changed to a nice light golden brown .

Let's remove this and keep this along with the fried onions .

And now I'm going to roast one cup of dried coconut .

This will probably take 2 to 3 minutes .

Now , if you do not manage to get either the wet or the dry coconut , you can use either one of them or you can simply use designated coconut as well .

Just let's wait for five minutes for the onion and the coconut to cool down and then we grind it to a nice fine paste .

So the onion and the coconut paste is all ready .

Now , let's make the curry for the curry .

I'm going to heat 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil .

This curry is gonna have a lovely layer of oil that's going to be floating on top .

The oil is nice and hot .

I'm going to fry two medium sized onions that are finely chopped .

I'm going to sort it this because we are nice , golden and brown in color .

So the onions have turned into a nice golden color .

Uh , let's add a tablespoon of garlic paste , a tablespoon of ginger paste and let's saute this till the raw smell goes off .

Now to this , I'm going to add two medium size tomatoes that I have finally chopped and I'm going to cook these tomatoes till they're soft and mushy .

The tomatoes are nice and soft and mushy and the oil is also separated .

So let's add up spices .

I'm going to add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder .

2 to 3 teaspoons of chili powder .

I like this curry to be really spicy .

It quickly mixes and we don't want the spices to burn .

So I'm going to immediately add a kilo of chicken .

I'm gonna keep the flame on a high and I'm gonna start it just stick it for 5 to 7 minutes .

So basically , I want the juices of the chicken to get trapped in the meat .

And so I'm doing this sorting on a high flame for 4 to 5 minutes .

Um should take much more than that .

You can already see the meat is changing its color .

So I'm going to add a teaspoon of garam masala powder .

I'm going to add 4 to 5 green chilies and now I'm going to add half of the onion and coconut paste that we have just made and the rest , I'm going to store it .

Now , if you want a dry chicken or a suka chicken , you can add probably one cup of water , cover it and cook it on a low flame until the chicken is done , which normally takes about 20 to 25 minutes .

And if you want a curry , then you can add about a liter of water to this .

So I'm gonna make a curry .

So I'm gonna add a liter of water to this .

If you want the gravy a little thinner , you can add a little more water .

Depends on the consistency of the gravy you want .

So at our home , we prefer the curry to be a little thin because we like to dump bread .

That is the bark of the in it and relish the curry .

Now I'm going to add some salt to this , stir it once gently .

And now I'm going to simply cover this and cook it on a low flame for 30 minutes or until the chicken is done .

It's been over 30 minutes that we've kept the chicken to cook .

And now to see if the chicken is ready , you have to see if the meat is off the bone , which in our case , it is .

So our chicken curry is ready to be served .

Let's remove it in a serving bowl .

Let's garnish this chicken curry with some freshly chopped coriander .

Our home style slow cooked chicken curry is ready to be served .

You can have made with barry or nach with this or you can have your simple soft chapati or you can just have it with steamed rice as well .

Anything of your choice you saw how simple this recipe was .

So do try it and let me know and keep watching .

Get curried .
