Chicken Handi
A rich and aromatic Indian chicken curry, slow-cooked in a traditional handi-style with yogurt, cream, and a blend of fragrant spices.
Ingredients
- 1.2 lb Chicken
- 3 Onion
- 2 Tomatoes
- 4 clove Garlic
- ½ tbsp Ginger paste
- ⅛ cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1½ tsp Coriander seeds
- ½ tsp Turmeric powder
- ½ tsp Chili powder
- 1 Green chili
- ½ cup Yogurt
- 0.38 cup Cream
- 1½ tsp Dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi)
- ½ tsp Garam masala
- 1 tsp Salt (optional)
Steps
- Heat oil in a large pot or wok. Fry sliced onions until deep golden brown, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté chopped garlic for 1 minute, then add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Return the fried onions to the pot. Add ginger paste and sauté well. Stir in cumin seeds, half of the coriander seeds, and chopped green chiles.
- Add turmeric powder and red chili powder; sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Add chicken pieces and salt. Cook covered on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until chicken is almost cooked through and oil separates.
- Reduce heat to lowest, then stir in beaten yogurt and half of the dried fenugreek leaves. Mix well.
- Finally, add the cream and mix to combine. Sprinkle with remaining dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala.
- Serve hot with naan or roti.
