Now coming for a vegeterian.. I would like to clarify that I am just a converted vegie and janab personally is responsible for the loss of life for many a chiks (the winged veriety)
So for a group of 4 1 kilo of chicken would suffice. Any thing less will not do justice to the hungry stomachs crying out for food. So the beauty of this simple recipe lies in the marination.
- Ask the butcher to make medium sized pieces. Dont Wash the chicken but do check for any wood pieces or foreign material. (may be you would like to remove the blood clots too)
- Take 200 ml curd, almost 1 teaspoon garam masala, Salt to taste and half a tea spoon turmeric. Add 1 table spoon each Garlic and Ginger paste to the curd too.
- Mix well with the cleaned chicken and keep covered in a cool place (preferably the Refrigerator) for 1 to 2 hours.
- Take oil in a heated pan and add 250 gms chopped onions
- Saute for a while till the onion turns golden brown
- Add 4/5 green chillies (sliced longitudinally) and fry further for 2 mins.
- Add the chicken mix (With the Marination) and cook and slow fire for 15 mins. Turn the mix occasionally.
- Cook till you can see the oil leaving the Masala.
- Add Water if you need curry and cook more for 5 mins. Once the checken is properly cooked and the curry has the right consistancy remove from fire.
- Garnish with chopped corriander and a little garam masala powder and keep it covered.
- Before serving just mix it well ans serve with chopped raw onion and a slices of lemmon.
Its better to estimate the salt on a lower end as you can add if needed. If salt is more then its difficult. Trick to solve that problem is to add pototoes and a spoon of lemon juice.
Hope this comes out really well. Do give your feedback and I can update the recipe with your comments.
