Ingredients

  • 800g- Kadaknath Chicken (curry cut pieces)
  • 150g- Onion (sliced)
  • 2 sprigs- Curry leaves
  • ¾ tbsp- Whole Black peppercorns (roughly crushed)
  • 5-6- Green chillies (halved)
  • 2 tbsp- Ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp- Fennel seeds powder / Saunf powder
  • ½ tsp- Turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp- Coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 100ml- Vegetable oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  •  ½ tsp- Garam masala powder
  • Coriander leaves for garnishing (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan, and temper with crushed black peppercorns.

  2. Add the sliced onion, sauté until light brown in colour, add the curry leaves in-between.

  3. Add all the spices except garam masala powder, mix well and cook for a minute over medium heat.

  4. Add Kadaknath Chicken, mix well, cover and cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, keep string at intervals. The chicken shall release its own juice during the cooking. That's why adding water is optional for this dish, if you experience that the curry is drying up, then add some hot water in-between the cooking. We prefer this curry to be on the thicker side, so add water accordingly.

  5. Add lemon juice, garam masala powder and chopped coriander leaves towards the end, mix well.

  6. Serve hot with rice, roti or paratha, enjoy!
