Cooking chicken is truly an adventure. It can take many many twists and turns and when it comes to making curry - I did this version in a hurry over the busy weekend. A perfect curry to go with rotis or just plain rice..........either ways its a delight!
Ingredients:
500 gms chicken
1/4 cup fresh grated coconut
2-3 green chillies
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
Less than 1/4 cup - mint leaves
A small piece of ginger
2 pods of garlic peeled
A few curry leaves
1/4 tsp of fennel seeds
Salt to taste
A pinch of turmeric
About 8 kernels of cashewnuts( ground to a fine paste)
A tsp of fresh cream
1/4 Pepper powder
Step 1: Boil the pieces of chicken in a wok with a little water,salt and turmeric.
Step 2: Grind together to a fine paste - coconut,green chilli,mint,coriander fennel seedsginger and garlic .
Step 3: Add the ground green paste to the chicken and let it simmer - adjust salt at this point.
Step 4 : Check if the chicken is cooked and add the cashew paste and mix well.Let it simmer on slow heat.
Step 5: Add pepper powder for garnish and the frsh cream too. heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the curry leaves in it - Pour it over the chicken and serve hot !
Well, the thickness of the gravy could be adjusted by adding hot water. Spice could also vary to individual taste,add green chilli chopped or pepper powder to make it spicier. Enjoy!
luks nice!
