Chicken Handi

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg Chicken
  • 5 thinly sliced Onion
  • 2 finely chopped Tomatoes
  • 8 cloves chopped Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Ginger paste
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 3 tsp Coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
  • 2 Green chilli
  • 1 cup Yogurt
  • ¾ cup Cream
  • 3 tsp Dried fenugreek
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • To taste Salt

Instructions

  • Take a large pot or wok, big enough to cook all the chicken, and heat the oil in it
  • Once the oil is hot, add sliced onion and fry them until deep golden brown
  • Then take them out on a plate and set aside
  • To the same pot, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a minute
  • Then add the chopped tomatoes and cook until tomatoes turn soft
  • This would take about 5 minutes
  • Then return the fried onion to the pot and stir
  • Add ginger paste and sauté well
  • Now add the cumin seeds, half of the coriander seeds and chopped green chillies
  • Give them a quick stir
  • Next goes in the spices – turmeric powder and red chilli powder
  • Sauté the spices well for couple of minutes
  • 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
  • This would take about 15 minutes
  • Slowly sautéing the chicken will enhance the flavor, so do not expedite this step by putting it on high heat
  • When the oil separates from the spices, add the beaten yogurt keeping the heat on lowest so that the yogurt doesn’t split
  • Sprinkle the remaining coriander seeds and add half of the dried fenugreek leaves
  • Mix well
  • Finally add the cream and give a final mix to combine everything well
  • Sprinkle the remaining kasuri methi and garam masala and serve the chicken handi hot with naan or rotis
