Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken curry cut
- 2 Onion
- 10 cloves Garlic
- 2- inch Ginger
- 6 Dry Red Chillies
- 5 Green Chilli according to taste
- 2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- ½ Cup Mustard Oil
- 1.5 teaspoon Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Clean chicken pieces properly.
- Roughly chop Onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies and prepare a coarse powder of dry chilies*.
- Marinate chicken pieces with all the ingredients mentioned except salt.
- This is, however, my personal opinion to not to add salt to cooking.
- Leave it for at least one hour but I prefer to marinate overnight.
- Take the marinated chicken in a thick bottom pan and sauté on high flame for 5 minutes.
- Then cook on low flame till the chicken turns tender.
- No need to add water; the chicken will be cooked in its own juice.
- Switch the flame off and give the curry a standing time of 10 minutes.
Notes
- Avoid adding sour ingredients like tomatoes, yogurt, or tamarind.
- Similarly, skip the typical spices such as garam masala or coriander powder.
- For the best flavor, use coarsely ground red chilies instead of red chili powder.
- There's no need to add water, as the chicken and other ingredients will release enough moisture.
- Finally, remember that using mustard oil is crucial; don't substitute it with any other oil if you want to capture the authentic taste of Goalondo Steamer Curry.
