Hello all my fellow bloggers…writing something after a long time, since I was busy with tackling a beast called “Qualifiers” in this part of the world. So without wasting much lets get down to business. I am going to share with you guys the recipe of Punjabi Chicken Curry. I learnt this recipe and its method of cooking while I was in India this summer to spend some quality time with my family. Its actually microwave based cooking, so I guess its a less hassle for people who gets really busy and have less time for cooking. Here it goes:
Ingredients:
800 gm chicken(cut into pieces), 1 cup curd, 2 large onions(being made into a paste), 1 cup tomato puree, 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 3 tbsp ghee, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, salt(according to taste)
Procedure:
1. Mix chicken pieces with curd, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder and salt and keep it marianted for half an hour in the refrigerator.
2. Take a microwave-safe bowl, add ghee and onion paste, tomato puree, coriander powder and cumin powder. Microwave covered at 100% power for 15-20 minutes, stirring in between.
3. Add the marinated chicken to the onion paste and other masalas. Pour 1/2 to 1 cup of water and mix it thoroughly. Cover it and microwave at 100% power for 15-20 minutes, stirring in between.
4. Add garam masala and further microwave at 80% power for 5 minutes.
5. Serve hot with roti or rice.
