Chicken Handi

Instructions

1- Take a large pot or wok, big enough to cook all the chicken, and heat the oil in it.

2- Once the oil is hot, add sliced onion and fry them until deep golden brown.

3- Then take them out on a plate and set aside.

4- To the same pot, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a minute.

5- Then add the chopped tomatoes and cook until tomatoes turn soft.

6- This would take about 5 minutes.

7- Then return the fried onion to the pot and stir.

8- Add ginger paste and sauté well.

9- Now add the cumin seeds, half of the coriander seeds and chopped green chillies.

10- Give them a quick stir.

11- Next goes in the spices – turmeric powder and red chilli powder.

12- Sauté the spices well for couple of minutes.

13- Add the chicken pieces to the wok, season it with salt to taste and cook the chicken covered on medium-low heat until the chicken is almost cooked through.

14- This would take about 15 minutes.

15- Slowly sautéing the chicken will enhance the flavor, so do not expedite this step by putting it on high heat.

16- When the oil separates from the spices, add the beaten yogurt keeping the heat on lowest so that the yogurt doesn’t split.

17- Sprinkle the remaining coriander seeds and add half of the dried fenugreek leaves.

18- Mix well.

19- Finally add the cream and give a final mix to combine everything well.

20- Sprinkle the remaining kasuri methi and garam masala and serve the chicken handi hot with naan or rotis.

21- Enjoy!.
