Spicy Chicken Curry



My mother in law is the best one to prepare a traditional chicken curry. Am yet to master her style of preparation. well here is my version for the time being, which is not bad at all ;) ...

Here it goes....
Ingredients
1/2 kg Chicken
4 medium Onions
2 medium Tomatoes
chopped coriander leaves
1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon Red chilli powder(kashmiri chilly)
1 1/2 teaspoon Coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
curry leaves
3 tablespoons coconut oil
Salt to taste
Preparation
Heat oil in a pan, fry the ginger garlic paste till golden. Add the chopped onions and fry till golden brown, add the tomatoes and saute well. Once the raw smell goes, add all the powder masalas and fry for sometime.
Add water and allow to boil, once the water starts boiling add the marinated chicken (marinate chicken with yoghurt,salt, turmeric and pepper and keep it for 1/2 an hr)and cook on a medium flame till the chicken is cooked( u may use pressure cooker - 3 whistles). Add the coconut milk in required consistency. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, garnish with curryleaves and read chilly.
Serve hot with chappathi , appam, idiappam, puttu or rice.
