Thursday, November 12, 2009

Ingredients:
Chicken (cut into bite size pieces) – 2 lb
Onion (finely sliced) – 1 cup
Ginger paste – 1 tbspn
Garlic paste –2 tbspn
Turmeric powder – 1 tbspn
Mustard paste – 3 tbspn
Yogurt – 3 tbspn
Mustard oil – 2 tbspn
Green chili (slit) – 8-10
Cooking oil – 2-3 tbspn
Procedure:
In a heavy bottomed pan put oil and heat it.

When oil is heated enough add a tbsp of sugar. Stir the sugar till it reaches a dark brown color.

Now add the garlic paste, ginger paste, sliced onions, turmeric powder and start frying the mixture until it takes up a brownish color, approximately 10-15 minutes.

When oil starts coming out from the fried mixture, add the chicken pieces and stir. Add water and let the chicken cook until tender.

Meanwhile mix the mustard paste and the yogurt together.

When chicken is fully cooked, add the yogurt mixture and mix well with the chicken. Do not let the pot sit on heat for long after you have added the mustard paste, as this will make it bitter.

Remove from heat and drizzle the mustard oil on top.

Garnish with the green chilies and serve hot with steamed rice.
