This is an amazing twist by me to the very popular dish using Chicken in place of Lamb meat or even Beef. Not only that, i have used three different Lentils too. Bengal Gram or Chana Daal, Pigeon Pea Lentils or Toor Daal and Red Lentils or Masoor Daal are used by me in this beautiful fusion. A very famous and a delectable preparation with Bengal Gram or Chana Daal and meat. It is a perfect side dish for Lunch and is a lovely accompaniment to Phulkas, Chapatis or Rotis and Parathas as well. It also goes well with plain boiled Rice alongside Rasam, Kadhi etc. It's a quickie in terms of cooking time. The only thing is to soak the Lentils for a good 2-3 hours. That's it. The rest of the process is pretty much easy. A sumptuous treat to the tastebuds, this Lentil and Meat combo is loved by many across the Country as well as in many neighbouring Asian Countries too.
A good source of Proteins and Carbohydrates, this one wins it hands down.

Soak all the lentils for about 3 hours. Boil with little salt and set aside. It should be firm yet soft. Water quantity should be as minimal as possible. Set aside until use. In a cooking pot, heat oil and saute onions with ginger garlic paste until light brownish in colour. Add green chillies too. Mix well and saute for 5 minutes. Add the rest of the spices now along with chopped tomatoes. Cook until soft and mushy.
2

To this add chicken bone-in and give them all a good mix. Cook on a low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until it's done. Keep stirring it at regular intervals. After done add in the cooked daal mix.
3

Mix gently until everything is combined well and garnish with lots of freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve piping hot with rice or rotis. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
