Hi All
don't be surprised by the title
of the recipe...this is named by my friends who find this chicken unusually
unique and thus this recipe is dedicated to two of my best friends . They make
me do this dish every time I meet them... whether at my place or theirs.
My brother in law and my family too loves this dish.
Again as you all must have
realized by now my dishes are hassle free and easy to make.
Ingredients
Chicken : 500 Gms (preferable
drumstick or curry cut)
Onion : 1 large finely
chopped
Garlic Paste : 1.5 tsp.
Ginger Paste : 3/4th
tsp.
Turmeric Powder : 1/2 tsp.
Chili Powder :
1/2 tsp. - 1 tsp. (depends how hot you like)
Tomato Paste :
2 medium size
Everest Chicken Masala : 2 tsp. (this is the
basic flavour and taste)
Salt : as per taste
Oil
: 2-3 tbsp.
Note:
1. Ginger, garlic and
tomato pastes are all homemade and not store bought...your taste will differ if
you are using store bought.
2. Since I buy dressed and
clean chicken from departmental store I do not wash as this definitely takes
away the flavour of the chicken....but if you still want to go ahead.
Method
Put the kadai/wok on heat and
let the oil heat. Add the chopped onions and fry until they turn pink. Add the
ginger garlic paste and put the heat on low. Let it fry for some time, now add
the chicken pieces and put the flame on high again. Once the chicken turns
white add the dry ingredients. Mix it well and once the chicken is coated with
the masala/mixture add the freshly blended tomato paste. Cover it and let it
simmer for 10-15 mins. In between do open and stir and you will see that the
chicken has left lots of water...if at all you feel the gravy is too dry
or thick you can add a cup of water let it simmer till the chicken is cooked.
Remove it from heat and serve it hot with plain steamed rice. Its
tastes best with rice.
Enjoy your meal
Love
Arpita
