Presenting Murg Patiala which is a curry from the land of Punjab. This creamy and spicy Punjabi chicken curry is made with the blend of flavorful spices and a combination of curd, cream and ground cashews.

Being a mother of a fussy kid, I always try to add a good amount of greens to all the dishes I prepare. Here it’s Spinach, the nutritious leafy green with the creamy chicken has added the nutrition as well as the taste. I have garnished this with thin strips of ginger, green chilies and onion.

Steps

1

For Chicken marination:-Mix all the above ingredients for marination with the chicken and marinate it for 20 mins. Keep it aside.
2

For the onion masala:-1. Take a pan. Add oil once the pan is hot. Add all the above ingredients for onion masala except water. Mix well and cook properly till the raw smell goes off. Finally, add water. Once this is ready take out the half of the prepared onion masala and keep this aside which we will use later.
3

Now we will add the marinated chicken pieces to these prepared spices in the pan. Then add the chopped green chilli as per your preference. Now mix the chicken and the spices together. Cover the pan and cook it in medium flame till the chicken is completely cooked.
4

For spinach, onion and capsicum mixture:- Take another clean pan. Add oil once the pan is hot. Add all the above ingredients one by one except water. Then add the earlier prepared onion masala to this. Mix well. Now add the cashew paste. Now add the salt. Next, we will add water. Now we will check the chicken pieces which must have already cooked. We will now add this spinach mixture to the chicken pieces. Mix well.
5

Final step:-Now add the above mentioned for final ingredients to the chicken and spinach mixture. Cook for 2 mins. Then the Murg Patiala is ready to be served. You can serve this hot with steamed rice, chapati or Paratha. My family enjoyed this with hot steamed rice.
