Chicken Masala Recipe
India is not short of foodies. Especially among these foodies, the list of non-vegetarian dishes is larger than that of vegetarian dishes. We have often experienced this. Whether it is a guest or a relative, the plan for a non-vegetarian meal is always fixed. Many people seem to say that true hospitality lies only in a non-vegetarian meal.
We have tasted many types of chicken and mutton dishes. Today, we will be looking at a quick and easy recipe for dhaba-style chicken. If you make this chicken at home, you won’t be able to stop drooling.
Ingredients
• For the chicken marinade:
• 10-12 garlic cloves
• 1.5 inches ginger
• 2 green chilies
• 1 cup cilantro
• 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 cup yogurt
For the masala paste
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup grated coconut
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 2 green chilies
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 cup water
Instructions
• Marinate the chicken: In a blender, grind together the garlic cloves, ginger, green chilies, and cilantro until a smooth paste forms. Add the turmeric powder, salt, and yogurt to the paste and mix well. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade and set aside for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
• Prepare the masala paste: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the grated coconut to the skillet and cook until it is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the coconut from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the coriander seeds, green chilies, poppy seeds, and garam masala to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the spices cool slightly.
• In a blender, grind together the cooled spices, cooked onions, cooked coconut, and water until a smooth paste forms. Set the masala paste aside.
• Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Add the masala paste to the pot and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken by about 1 inch. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
• Simmer the chicken for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or roti.
