Chicken Fry

This is one of the first chicken recipes I ever learnt to make. I got this recipe from one of my friends few years back. Once you marinate the chicken for couple of hours, it gets ready quickly. I used boneless chicken thighs, but you can also use boneless chicken breast or bone in chicken.

 

Ingredients

500 grams chicken
4 tbsp yogurt
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/3 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder (adjust according to taste)
1 tbsp coriander powder
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
1/3 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 spring curry leaves
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 green chillies
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
Pinch of clove powder
Juice from half a lemon
Chopped coriander

 





 

Directions

Wash and cut chicken into bite sized pieces
Marinate chicken pieces using yoghurt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt.
Marinate for atleast 3 hrs or overnight by keeping it in refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature before you start cooking the chicken.
Heat oil in a skillet and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds, chopped onions, curry leaves and green chillies.
Fry till the onions turn golden brown.
Add chicken pieces and sear it for 2-3 minutes and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook on medium flame until it's cooked completely.
Add garam masala powder and cloves powder and mix well. Stir continuously on a high heat till all the moisture evaporates
Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander and lemon wedges
Serve.
