Ingredients
- 100g chicken thigh
- chicken drumstick 2
- 1 onion
- 1/2 tomato
- kashmir red chilly powder 1 tablespoon (not spicy, just for coloring)
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 3 tablespoons coriander powder
- 4-6 garlic cloves
- Ginger
- 1 bay leaf
- garam masala
- olive oil
- salt
- green onions or coriander (optional)
Process
- First, fry the chicken for 2 minutes on each side: This way, the chicken will stay moist from the inside even if left in the curry for a long time.
- Put olive oil in a frying pan and heat over high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the chicken, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt and fry for 1 to 2 minutes on both sides.
- Take them out into a plate
- Preparing the curry sauce: Use the previous skillet over low heat, adding a little oil if needed.
- Add 1 finely chopped onion, 1/2 finely chopped tomato, 4 garlic cloves, and small pieces of ginger.
- Fry for about a minute, then cover the frying pan with a lid and leave for about 5 minutes until softened.
- After 5 minutes, open the lid and add 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chilly powder, 1 tbsp cumin powder and 3 tbsp coriander powder to it. Fry for a minute, then cover the pan and leave for another 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool. Blend this mixture into a blender and make a smooth sauce.
- Making the curry in the pot:
- Heat the pot over medium heat, add olive oil, and when hot, add the bay leaf, add the sauce you made earlier, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the fried chicken and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. 1/2 tablespoon garam masala. Mix well, cover and leave for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, turn off the heat, open the lid (the lid will be very hot, so be careful not to touch it with a cloth), and garnish with fresh green onions or fresh coriander (optional).
