I believe any Sunday is incomplete without a chicken preparation in meal. I have tried and tasted some other preparations also, but for me, 'Chicken kosha' is something more traditional, more nostalgic to all of us for weekly purposes. Today I'm sharing Kolkata style Chicken Kosha for every food lover

Steps

30 mins

1

In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp Salt with the Chicken, rub all the pieces and rinse properly.
2

Add Curd(beat yogurt well with a whisk until smooth), Ginger paste, Garlic paste, Green Chilli paste, Turmeric Powder, Kashmiri red Chilli powder, Jeera powder, Garam masala powder, Salt and Oil with the Chicken. Cover it for 2 hours.
3

Take a Kadhai(Pan) and heat Oil. Temper with dried red chillies, Bay leaf, Cardamom, Cinnamon, cloves. Then add the thinly sliced onion. Stir and fry the Onion for 6-8 mins. When it turns golden brown in colour add Tomato Sauce and stir continuously.
4

Add marinated Chicken in it and stir for 4 mins in medium flame. When bubbles come out then cover the kadhai with a lid and cook it in low flame for 20 mins. (stir occasionally) [I didn't put water here, if your gravy becomes dry out then you may add hot water in this step] Continue cooking until chicken is done and oil separates.
5

Serve hot with Plain Rice, Roti or Paratha.
