In this blog post, we'll explore the step-by-step recipe to create this mouthwatering delicacy in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:👇

  • -- 500g chicken, cut into pieces
  • -- 2 onions, finely chopped
  • -- 2 tomatoes, pureed
  • -- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • -- 1 cup yogurt
  • -- 2 green chilies, slit
  • -- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • -- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • -- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
  • -- 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • -- Salt to taste
  • -- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • -- 3 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee

  • Instructions:👇

  • 1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • --> In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
    • --> Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
    • --> Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

    2. Cook the Onions:

    • --> Heat oil or ghee in a handi or deep-bottomed pan over medium heat.
    • --> Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown and caramelized.
    • --> This step is crucial for developing the rich flavor base of the dish, so ensure the onions are cooked evenly.

    3. Add Spices and Tomatoes:

    • --> Once the onions are caramelized, add the tomato puree to the handi.
    • --> Cook the tomato puree until the oil separates and the mixture thickens.
    • -->Now, add the slit green chilies, coriander powder, and garam masala.
    • --> Stir well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato base, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    4. Cook the Marinated Chicken:

    • --> Carefully add the marinated chicken pieces to the handi, along with any remaining marinade.
    • --> Stir to coat the chicken pieces with the onion-tomato mixture.
    • -->Cover the handi with a lid and let the chicken cook over low heat until tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
    • -->This slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the spices and become tender and succulent.

    5. Garnish and Serve:

    • --> Once the chicken is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust according to taste.
    • --> Garnish the Handi Chicken with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a burst of freshness and color.
    • --> Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice, and enjoy the delectable flavors of this authentic North Indian dish.
