| Chicken Spice Mix Curry |
Usually I refrain from using the myriads of spice mixes available in the market.But for the sake of experimenting I prepared a simple Chicken curry, with all the usual ingredients and this “mughlai spice mix”.
The result was a reddish dense gravy which blended well with the steamed rice.
Ingredients:
- Chicken: 750 gms
- Potato: One large, divided into two halves.
- Onion: 120 gms.
- Ginger-Garlic paste: 3 tbsp
- Tomato: 1 medium sized. Blended
- Green Chilies: 3-4.Slit.
- Salt: to taste
- Mughlai Spice Mix:One whole portion
- Vegetable Oil:4-5 tbsp
Procedure:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a kadai.
- When the olil gets hot, add the ginger garlic paste.
- After half a min, add the onion slices.
- Fry the onion slices till the colour turns brown.
- Then add the tomato paste, green chilies and the spice mix
- Under low heat, ensure that that the ingredients mix thoroughly.
- Then add the chicken.
- Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Stir the ingredients for 20-25 mins under the heat so that the chicken pieces are coated with the mixture.
- Then add a little amount(half cup) of warm water to the curry and put a lid over the kadai.
- Let the ingredients simmer for sometime(5-6 mins), after which stir the ingredients and put the lid back. Add more water in case required.Repeat this process until the chicken is soft and tender.
- Serve with steamed rice.
