Ingredients:
Chicken thighs with bones and skin (100 grams, and definitely not more than that)
Chicken broth 2 cups
Onion 1 large grated
Chilies 3-5 minced
Tomatoes 2 crushed
Ginger-garlic paste 1 spoon
Cilantro finely chopped
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
Pepper powder 1/4 spoon
Garam masala powder – NO
Toasted chana(pottukadalai in Tamil) powder 2 spoons
Yogurts 1 table spoons
Coconut milk thin 1 cup
Lemon juice 2-4 spoons
Bay leaves crushed
Whole spices(cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, birinji flower few)
Oil few spoons.
Method:
Abandon the pressure cooker today.
Its going to be the stove-top method.
Ssssssslow Coooooooking!!!
Well, in a wide vessel, heat oil. Add the whole spices, followed by crushed items, chili, ginger-garlic paste and onion. Fry real good, once the raw odor is gone, add tomatoes and cilantro. Continue frying.
Once oil shows up on the top, add the meat. Cover and cook, meat turns opaque. Now add 2-4 cups of water and continue slow cooking.
When the water reduces drastically, add chicken broth. If you feel, the meat is tender enough…start adding salt, turmeric, chili, pepper, chana dal powder and coconut milk. Reduce the heat and bring this to boil. Maybe it will take some time.
Further add, yogurts and lemon juice. Remove from heat.
Serve warm to go with your parottas. Enjoy.
