Hyderabadi Mughal Chicken Gravy (tried and tested alone)


1. Chicken 1kg cut into small pieces and marinated well with 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt,  garam masala powder, and coriander powder.
2. Fry 1 large onion finely chopped till brown in colour.
3. 3T. of thick curd.
4. 1T. of Ginger and Garlic paste (homemade please only fresh one preserve the oils in it, after all one's cooks for your family!)
5. Slit green chillies - 3
6. Coriander powder - 1T. Red chilli powder - 1T. (kashmiri red chillies if not found use 1/2 tsp.). Saffron powder - 1/4 tsp. Garam Masala powder - 1/2 T.
7. Peanut Paste - 1T. Sesame or poppy seed paste - 1T (fry them, soak them and grind it into paste. Again cook everything fresh). Coconut paste - 1T.
8. To the marinated chicken add all the pastes, the curd and the friend onion. Now add this to a pan.
9. Set the pan on the stove on low heat, and let it self cook on low heat. If required add just 2 cups of water to the chicken and cook till done. Sometimes the chicken cooks itself without water. But personally I find it failing at time, dont know why. I leave that to you. But in the recipe you dont add the water. I dont believe in garnishing when you cook for family.
