Thenu’s Kitchen

Followed my old notes I took from a cooking show.
When it comes to Non-Veg cooking (not eating), I am a novice. But this dish turned out so perfect. In fact this is my first ever non-veg dish that came out this perfect.

Thanks to that chef & recipe. I shall post the recipe pretty soon. Running late to pick up my son.

Just served the curry to my boy. His comment: GREAT!

Well now for the recipe (this makes just 1.5 serving for a hungry person) :

1. Pour oil in a hot pan and temper with cumin seeds and cloves, cinnamon, cardomom
2. Add very finely chopped onions (1/2) and saute until brown
3. Add a pinch of salt and add chopped green chillies (1)
4. Add ginger-garlic-coriander paste 1tbsp
5. Saute them well and add a pinch of turmeric and fry for 30 sec
6. Add 3 small tomatoes very finely chopped
7. Cover and cook this for couple of mins
8. When the tomato is almost cooked, add 1tbsp red chilly powder and 2Tbsp Coriander powder
9. Saute all until oil oozes
10. Add the cut chicken (may be a cup) and fry for a min so the gravy coats the chicken well
11. Now cover and cook the mixture for 10 mins on medium flame
12. Occasionally make sure it is not sticking to the bottom but dont stir too much
13. When the chicken is done and more oil oozes out, coarse grind 1sp whole pepper corns and mix to the curry. Ready pepper powder does not do the magic
14. Cover and cook for 1 more min
15. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot with pulka or chapathi or rice
