Even I was asked many times why we put potatos in a chicken dish.The answer is simple, We love potatos.Without potatos we bengalis cant survive. So here I am going to post a very typical chicken dish today.Its the simplest recipe of chicken,but very very tasty with steamed rice.
Preparation time: 1 hr
Ingredients:
1 kg chicken chopped in medium size pieces
2 big size potatoes chopped in cube size
5-6 onions cut in 4 piece each
6-7 green chili2 tomato chopped
2 tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp jeera powder
1 tbsp dhania powder
1/2 tbsp chicken powder (easily available in any kirana shop)
10 garlic cloves choppedsalt as per taste
3 tbsp Mustard oil to marinate the chicken
1 bay leaf
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 tbsp garam masala powder
1 tbsp Turmeric powder
Marination: Wash the chicken pieces properly and put in big bowl.Now add all the masalas/spices,potatoes,onions and tomatos.Add mustard oil and then mix them all thoroughly.You can see the chicken pieces are covered with oilly masala after proper mixing.Now put this mixture in refridgerator for 10-15 min.
Preparation: Heat a big size pan with mustard oil on it.Then add bay leaf and Garam masala powder.After that add chopped onions and then fry for a 1 min.Now add the marinated chicken on this pan and stir properly and mix all.
Now keep the flame low and cover the pan.This way we need to cook for 15-20 min so that the chicken can boil properly.Need to stir the chicken in between.After that increase the heat and you can see chicken will loose its oil and pieces will now fry in that oil.
Keep frying for 5-10 min in a high flame.Need to stire frequiently in this stage.After this need to add enough water in it.And then cook for next 5 min in high flameso that the curry prepares properly.
We generally prefer light curry (jhol) in this chicken recipe so that we can have this with steamed rice.Or else you can reduce the curry and make it thick and have it with roti/luchi.
It tastes really good.
