Whenever taste buds of my tongue yearn for some good taste, I turn to spicy chicken. It tastes wonderful with nuns and tandoori rotis. But, one can have it with pulao or with fried rice. While preparing the dish, I keep in mind that all the spices are fried at their optimum level, as the dish will not taste well if the spices are not properly fried.
Ingredients:
1. Chicken-500 gms.
2. Jeera/Cumin powder, Chilli powder, Turmeric powder -2 tsp each.
3. Mustard oil-100 ml.
4.*Garam masala-1tsp
5. Garlic paste, Ginger- paste - 1tsp each
6. Onion paste -1/2cup
7. Tomato puree-1/2cup
8. Sugar-1tsp
9. Salt- according to taste
10. Bay leaves-2pieces
Procedure:
I prefer medium pieces of chicken for this preparation. Mix salt and turmeric powder.
Heat oil in a pan and add bay leaves, chilli-cumin paste, onion –garlic-ginger paste, tomato puree and fry for 5mins.Add sugar in it to give it nice colour. Now add chicken pieces in it and fry until oil separates from spices.
Add one cup of hot water and in it and cover the pan. Cook for 10 to 15 mins in low flame. Add garam masala and put off the flame.
Serve with puri, nun or fried rice.
*Garam masala is a powder of cinnamon, cardamom, clove in equal quantity.
