Chicken Fry

This is the most simplest and easiest recipe for a chicken fry that i have ever known ...I got the recipe from one of my cousins mother-in-law.The best thing is u dont need to deep fry the chicken.

Its so simple to make ....u can eat it as an appetizer or even have it with rice n pappu charu...

So here is the tempting delicious recipe....



Ingredients

3 boneless n skinless chicken breast/thigh meat
1 onion chopped fine
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric
few chasew nut pcs
few curry leaf's

Dry roast n make a fine powder of the following:

1 tbsp coriander seeds
7 dry red chillies
3 elaichi
3 cloves
1" cinnammon
1 tsp gasalu(Khus Khus)
4 cashew nuts
1 tbsp grated dry coconut pwd

Method

Wash n cut the chicken into small bite size pc's n keep aside.

Next heat few tbsp of oil,to this add the cahsew pc's and few curry leaf's,dont burn them,remove n keep aside once the cashew turn golden brown.

To the same oil add the chopped onions n fry for some time ,when they turn transparent,add the turmeric,salt and ginger garlic paste.

Add the chicken pcs mix n cook for some time then cover n cook for few mins until the chicken turns tender.(during this time u will notice chicken oozing out water).

Then remove the lid and add 2 tbsp of the ground powder.(at this time the cocnsistency should be wet n like a thick gravy,if not then add little water).

Let the chicken cook in it for sometime,u will notice that oil starts oozing out.

During this time keep mixing the chicken until it turns dark brown in color as shown in the pic.Remember not to burn it.

To this add the fried cahsew and curry leafs.

Garnish it with tsp of lemon juice and few onion strands

Note

I usually prefer boneless meat for such type of dishes because it cooks fast n takes less oil.But u can also use whole cut up chicken as well,but it takes a longer time.
alternativley u can also try this recipe with raw peeled shrimp as well.
