CHICKEN : CURD N ' CASHEW DELIGHT

Chicken curd n' cashew delight is a delicacy borne out of a casual  experiment. I tried to create a dish with the minimum condiments I could find and was careful to make it tasty too. If you are looking for a recipe for a perfect summer lunch, then take my word and try out this one. Here are the simple INGREDIENTS :

(1) 500 gm of chicken

(2) 200 gm of curd.

(3) 12-15 pcs of cashew.

(4) Ginger paste . ( 6 table spoon).

(5) Chili paste . ( 3 chili )

(6) Pepper.

(7) Coriander leaves.

(8) Onion Paste. ( 3 onions).

(9) Garlic paste . ( ½ garlic).

(10)   Salt.

(11)  Turmeric powder.

(12)     Sunflower oil.

             As you arrange the ingredients, let me tell you a trick. Instead of peeling off the outer layer of the onion directly, boil the onion and garlic in water for 5-7 minutes. Now peel off the boiled onion and garlic and make the paste. This helps to bring the color of onion once you cook.  For the batter, take 100 gm of curd and cashew paste  and mix well with ½ tablespoon pepper , the chili paste and 1 tablespoon turmeric. Be careful enough while using the turmeric powder. Don’t use too much. A light yellow color is apt for this dish. Let us now proceed on with the chicken. Here are the easy STEPS :

(1)  Marinate the chicken with curd, ginger paste and pepper for 2- 3 hours.

(2) Heat sunflower oil in pan .

(3) Pour the onion and ginger paste and fry till the paste becomes golden brown.

(4) Add the salt. ( 1 tablespoon).

(5) Now add the batter of the curd with cashew, pepper, chili  and turmeric.

(6)  Stir well for 2- 3 minutes.

(7) Add the coriander leaves and slowly add the chicken. Don’t add all the pieces at once. Add some, stir for a minute, and then add some more , so that each piece gets mixed with the gravy.

(8) Add 6 cups of water and let it cook for 15- 20 minutes.

(9) Turn off the oven . Garnish and the dish is ready to be served.

     Do let me know how it goes. Enjoy J

Chicken Cashew Cockney : the name sounds fancy; isn’t  it ? Ah yes, it is again,  something which popped out of one of my experiments. And the reason behind the name ?? Well, as you will see, the gravy has a chicken base and I have used the term ‘ cockney ‘ not for the simple pleasure of alliteration but for the fact that this dish of   chicken, like the Cockney dialect of English , does not belong to the mainstream and is prepared with a blend of various elements.  Here is the list of INGREDIENTS  you need to make this :

(8) Chili paste. ( 4 tablespoon).

(9) Ginger paste. ( 2 tablespoon).

(10)   Salt.

(11)    Pepper.

(12)     Sunflower oil.

              Now that you have all the ingredients arranged, just follow these easy STEPS.:

(1) Marinate the chicken in vinegar for a couple of hours.

(2) Heat sunflower oil in pan.

(3) Fry the onion and garlic paste till it becomes golden brown.

(4) Take the cashew paste  in a bowl and add salt ( 2 – 2.5 tablespoon ) , chili paste , ginger paste, cumin powder, coriander powder. Mix well to form the batter.

(5) Now pour the batter and stir for around 2- 3 minutes.

(6) Add the chicken.

(7) Now, add  5- 6 cups of water.
