Easy Chicken Curry
A quick and easy to make chicken curry with ingredients that are easily available in your kitchen!
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken cleaned and cut into curry pieces
- 6 medium Onion sliced
- 3 medium Potato cut into big cubes
- 2 bulb Garlic crushed
- 3 inch Ginger crushed
- 6-7 Green Chilly crushed
- 2 medium Tomato pureed
- 2-3 sprigs Curry Leaves
Whole Spices
- 2 inch Cinnamon Stick broken into small pieces
- 5-6 Cloves
- 5-6 Green Cardamom
- 1 Bay leaf torn into two
- 1 floret Nutmace
Masala Powders
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 2 tbsp Kashmiri Chilly Powder
- 1½ tsp Red Chilly Powder
- 2½ tbsp Coriander Powder
- ¾ tsp Pepper Powder
- 2-3 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Heat Kadai and pour oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the whole spices. Sauté for a minute.
- Next, add the sliced onions. Let them fry till light golden. Fry this by stirring in between and on medium-low heat to avoid burning.
- Now is the time to add the crushed ginger, garlic and green chilly, along with curry leaves. Fry till the raw smell vanishes.
- Put the cleaned chicken pieces and potatoes, and give a good mix—this need to be done over medium-high flame. The chicken pieces will turn whitish.
- Once the chicken has turned whitish, add the required amount of salt and the masala powders.
- Sauté till the masala is quite cooked and there is no raw smell.
- Add in tomatoes and give a nice mix. Let it cook till oil starts oozing out.
- Meantime, warm 2 cups of water for our curry.
- As the oil starts to ooze out, pour the already warmed water and mix well.
- Lower the heat and cook covered till chicken and potatoes are cooked well.
- If you feel the gravy need to be thicker, let it boil over high heat till the desired consistency.
- Tastes best with rice and chapati!
