Easy chicken curry


Thanks to Viguna for this recipe.  This is an easy recipe for Indian chicken curry with few ingredients but tastes really good. The recipe requires a single masala. I have tried this recipe with boneless and whole chicken and it turned out great both times. The chicken curry goes well with Parathas, Naan or rice. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Boneless or whole chicken - 2-3 pounds.
Onion - 2 medium
Tomato - 1
Green chillies - 3-4
Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Ginger paste - 1 tsp
Memoni Mutton Biriyani Masala (SHAN) - 1-2 tsp
Curry leaves
Coriander leaves

  
Method

Heat 2 tbsps of oil in a skillet and add the onions, green chillies, and curry leaves. Saute the onions till they are golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for another 3-4 minutes on medium heat.

Add the tomatoes and let the mixture cook for 3-4 minutes.  Now, add the chicken and the masala powder and mix well.  Cover the pan with a lid and cook the chicken on medium heat.  Stir the mixture now and then.  Cook till chicken pieces are soft and you get the desired curry consistency.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.



Note:  The masala powder has salt and hence you don't need to add salt.  You can add a little salt if required.
