Yogurt Chicken Curry
INGREDIENTS:
One small chicken, chopped
2 tbsp yogurt
3-4 tbsp chicken masala powder (deepens how thick you want the gravy to be)
1 tbsp of ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
one big onion sliced
curry leaves
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon
few cloves, star anise
1/2 tsp of big & small jeera
2 green chillies
2 tomatoes
3 small potatoes (optional)
Small size of Tamarind
salt to taste
Method:
1. After washing the chicken with salt, marinate it with lil bit of salt, yogurt, masala powder, ginger-garlic paste, tumeric and chilli powder for 30 mins.
2. In a pan, add in some oil and temper the cinnamon, star anise, cloves and jeera. Quickly add in the chillies, curry leaves and bay leaves. Once the curry leaves splatter, add in the onions and stir fry.
3. Once the onions are soft, add in the marinated chicken and fry in pan for few mins. Then add in abt 1/2 cup of water and close the lid. There will be water from the chicken, so watch out how thick you want your gravy to be.
4. When the chicken is half cook, put in the cubed potatoes and tomatoes (i like my tomatoes to be very soft so you can opt to put the tomatoes last min.) In less then half cup of water, crush the tamarind and pour in the juice. Add in more water according to the thickness you like.
5. Chicken curry is ready once the potatoes are cooked.
