Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves:2
Cuisine: Bengali
Ingredients:
2. Take Curd in a bowl. Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder and whisk the curd into uniform consistency. Add the curd to the chicken and mix well. Marinate the chicken for an hour.
3. Fry the potato till sides are lightly browned. Keep aside.
4. Take oil in a deep bottomed skillet and heat it. Add bay leaf and coarsely pounded garam masala (Cinnamon, Cardamom and Clove)
5. When the spices are aromatic add the sliced onions and half a spoon salt. Fry the onions till golden brown. Add the ginger and garlic paste.
6. Grate the tomato and add the tomato pulp ( You may skip the tomato if you feel the curd is sour enough)
7. Add the marinated chicken, mix well with the fried onion in the skillet. Add the cumin and coriander powder. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
8. Adjust the salt at this point and add a cup of warm water ( or according to the quantity of gravy required). Add the fried potatoes. Cook on high heat for 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and cover and cook the chicken till done (About 25- 30 minutes)
9. If you desire you can garnish it with chopped cilantro

DeleteThe past one month has been one roller coaster ride that I am going to remember for life. Changed many a things one of them being shifting bases.
We are still in the unpacking process and that really tires me out a lot so blogging has taken a backseat. But now this new place is inspiring me so much maybe I will try and devote more time in being creative :)and catch up on all the good reads over the past month
