Sundays are fun days, and a Bengali lunch is considered incomplete without the nonveg element. A very simple recipe for a regular usage, it's light as well.

Steps

max 1 hour

1

Clean the chicken. Marinate it with salt, half tsp turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon mustard oil and curd for 1 hour. Mix the potatoes with salt And turmeric and then fry them up in low-medium flame till they are brownish in colour. Keep the potatoes aside from the oil. Now use the left over oil to fry the bay leaves, all garam masalas, 1 pinch sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt...Stir the content till the sugar turns into caramel. Then add the onions (chopped) to it and stir till the are golden brown.
2

Add the chopped tomatoes in that and cook well till it melts. Next add the marinated chicken, ginger garlic paste, all masalas as mentioned above to it. Stir the content. Cook or rather should say stir without the lid for 10 mins. Then cook with the lid on. Check every 5 mins. When you find that the chicken is semi cooked, add the fried potatoes and stir. If you see the content has dried up, add 1/2 cup of warm water, otherwise do not add.

When the chicken and potatoes become tender and the gravy looks thick, your chicken curry should be ready. You can add dhaniya leaves and garam masala before switching off the gas. I didn't put because my husband doesn't like them on Chicken ☺️. Please ensure the process should be in medium flame.
