Dry chicken masala

Chicken lovers, here's a simple dish. Dry chicken masala is one of my moms special. She named it as Chicken 2000 because she first tried this in the year 2000. I love this dish. Goes good with briyani. The curry masala powder i use here is made by me. Shortly will post the recipe for curry masala powder. This is the masala i use in most of my recipe.

Ingredients:

Chicken - 500 grams
Onion - 1 (big chopped)
Curry masala powder - 3 tbsp
Ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
Curd - 1 tsp
Salt - As per taste
Oil
Food color - pinch (optional)
Coriander leaves chopped to garnish

Method:

1) Wash chicken at least 3 times, chop into small pieces.

2) Take all chopped chicken pieces in a bowl, add curry masala powder, ginger garlic paste, curd and required salt. Mix it well.

3) Dissolve pinch of food color in little water and mix it with chicken. This is optional, this gives color to the recipe.

4) Keep mixed chicken closed in refrigerator for atleast 30 mins.

5) Heat pan with 2 - 3 tbsp oil. Add onion and saute it for 2 mins or until translucent. Transfer it in a plate and keep it aside.

6) Now to the remaining oil add this marinated chicken. Cook chicken in medium heat.

7) Close pan with lid and cook for 5 mins. It helps release water content from chicken.

8) Now open lid and cook in same medium heat. Toss it at intervals. Allow all the water to evaporate. At this stage you can see chicken mixed well in masala.

9) Put in simmer, add fried onions and close it with lid. Let it cook for 5 - 10 mins.

10) Open the lid and mix it again. Chicken is now dry.

11) Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Sere hot.

Note:

1) Use boneless chicken.

2) Do not fry onions until brown.

3) Use heavy bottom pan.

4) Use 1 tsp Lemon juice instead of curd.
