Curry leaf Chicken (Dry)

Curry leaf chicken is my favorite. We usually through off the curry leaf from dish. But curry leaf has all good nutrition that our body needs. My grandma use to say that it is very good for hair. She use to roast it and add it to coconut oil for hair massage. Curry leaf has lots of uses to our body.



In my previous post i have mentioned that i use curry leaf as paste and powder in many dishes. My friend asked me to post one. So here it is. It is a very simple dish and it tastes really good. Kids who through curry leaf out from their dish will never find out that this chicken is done with curry leaves. Its one way of clever move to make kids eat curry leaves.

Ingredients:

Chicken thighs - 1/2 kg (boneless)
Curry leaves - 1 cup loosely packed
Green chili - 2 or 3( As per spice level)
Ginger - 1 inch
Garlic - 2
Cloves - 2
Cardamon - 1
Cinnamon - 1 inch
Cashew - 5 broken
Turmeric powder pinch
Salt as required
Oil as needed

Preparation:

1) Grind all ingredients except chicken into a fine paste.


2) Clean and cut chicken into medium sized pieces.

3) In a bowl mix the ground paste, turmeric powder, salt and chicken and marinate for at-least 2 hrs. I marinated it overnight.


4) In a pan add 2 tbsp oil and add the marinated chicken. Scrap all the curry masala left in the bowl to the pan.

5) Cook the chicken covered in medium-high for 5 mins. The masala slightly sticks to the pan.

6) At this stage add 1 tbsp of oil and scrap all the masala together. Mix well with chicken and cook covered for 5 - 7 min in low flame (simmer).

7) At this point the oil starts to ooze out. Once again mix the chicken with the masala. Cook for another 2 - 3 mins uncovered.

8) Once you get a dry texture and when the chicken is cooked well remove from heat, garnish and serve.



Note:

1) I dint not temper. You can temper if you like.

2) I did not add onions. If you like fry onions separately and add it at 7 Th point.
