Chicken Kurma
Background
Chicken kurma is a coconut base gravy with palatable taste. This particular recipe is from my mom. It is very easy to make and can be served as a main dish in a party.
Ingredients
- 600g Organic chicken (cut into pieces)
- For Marination:
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Chilli powder
- 1 Tbsp Lime juice
- Salt as required
- 2 tsp Garam masala
- 1 Tbsp Ginger garlic paste
- 1 Tbsp Plain yogurt (Beaten)
- ½ Tbsp Oil
- For blending:
- ½ cup Coconut
- 1 Tbsp Poppy seeds
- For cooking:
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1 Tbsp Ginger garlic paste
- 3 Large Onions (Roughly chopped)
- A sprig of coriander leaves for garnishing
Instructions
- In a pan, dry roast the poppy seeds and blend them with the grated coconut with some water into a smooth paste. Set it aside.
- Marinate the chicken with the marinating ingredients and keep it for 30 minutes.
- In a deep bottomed vessel, heat the oil and add the onions and fry until brown.
- Add the ginger garlic paste and fry until the rawness is gone. Let it cool and blend these onions into paste.
- After 30 minutes of marinating the chicken, heat up a vessel and add the marinated chicken to it and fry for 10 minutes.
- Add the blended coconut paste and the onion paste. If the mixture is very thick, add ½ cup of boiling water to it.
- Add salt according to taste and let the chicken cook until it is soft.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
Tips
- Care should be taken when dry roasting the poppy seeds as they tend to get burnt easily.
- One can use coconut powder instead of fresh coconut but fresh coconut always tastes better.
