Chettinad Chicken

Ingredients

Oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Coriander leaves

for garnish

Red chilli powder

2 teaspoons

Turmeric powder

1 teaspoon

Chettinad masala

2 tablespoons

Ginger garlic paste

1 tablespoon

Tomatoes

2, chopped

Onions

2, finely chopped

Chicken

1 kg, cut into pieces

Instructions

1. Clean the chicken thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the ginger garlic paste to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the raw smell dissipates.
4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the Chettinad masala, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt to the pan. Mix well to combine all the spices.
6. Introduce the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring to ensure they are well coated with the spice mixture. Cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
7. Once the chicken is partially cooked, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving hot.
