Chicken Changezi

Wanted to eat a chicken dish which was ancient and would go well with roti. Had ready about Changez Khan and his love for food and a chicken dish associated to his name. Hence cooked this without cream and less ghee or oil. It's delicious! Try it.

Cooking Instructions

Meanwhile, slice the onions. In a non stick pan add 1/2tbsp oil and saute the onions and cashewnuts. (Incase you want to use cream then you can reduce the cashew to 10 pieces.) Saute only till the point where the onions become soft and start getting golden colour. Remove and keep it aside to cool.

Once onions have cooled down, transfer it to a mixer grinder and make a fine paste. Remove it in a bowl. Now cut the tomatoes into chunks and add to the mixer grinder and make a puree. Transfer to another bowl or you can leave it in the mixer itself.

After an hour of marination heat a non stick kadhai or a pot and add 2tbsp ghee or oil. Once the ghee is hot transfer the marinated chicken and cook it. Keep stirring and cook till chicken is 95% cooked and the chicken pieces have a good masala coating of the cooked marinade. The pieces should have a good covering of the masala. Remove the pieces in a bowl.

To the leftover cooked ghee in the pan (if any) add the remaining ghee and heat it up. Now add the remaining ginger garlic paste and saute it. To this now add the tomato puree and saute it for 2 mins. Now add the onion cashew paste. Saute for a minute and now add the remaining dry spice powder i.e. dhaniya, jeera, red chilli, haldi, garam masala powder. Stir well and cook for 2 mins.

At this point add the milk (if you are using cream then add half the milk only plus the cream). Mix well. Add the kasoori methi leaves and cook on medium flame for 3-4 mins. Now add the chicken pieces with all the masala and stir well. Add chaat masala and salt. Mix well. Taste it and see if you need to add more salt. Adjust the salt. Cover the lid and let it simmer for 3-4 mins. Chicken Changezi is ready

The gravy consistency must be like a masala must be thick and creamish red in colour but not runny. Chicken Changezi is ready to be served with tandoori roti, naan or paratha.
