Tuesday, 10 September 2013

Chicken - 1 - 1.5lb cut into medium sized pieces

Onions - 2 big (roughly chopped)

Tomatoes - 2 big (roughly chopped)

Ginger garlic paste - 2 to 3 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Chilli powder - 2 to 2 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp

Cumin seed powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)

Garam masala items - 1 tsp (cloves - 1, cinnamon stick - 1, saunf - 1/2 tsp,

bay leaf - 1)

Salt - to taste

Oil - 4 tbsp

Coriander leaves (Cilantro) and Curry leaves - a little

In a large pan, heat oil and add the garam masala items and onions.

Saute the onions for a while. Then, add the ginger garlic paste and saute.

Then, add the tomatoes, turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin seed powder and salt.

Fry this mixture for a while maybe adding a little bit of water.

Then, add the chicken pieces with some water so that the chicken pieces are covered with water.

Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for 1/2-1 hr.

Once the oil starts to come out to the top, the kozhambu is done (the consistency should be between a gravy and watery - soup like).

Add the curry leaves and coriander leaves for garnish. Goes well with rice.
