Steps

25 mins

1

In a blender jar, combine the fresh raw coconut, green chilies, cilantro, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, and a little water. Blend into a fine paste.
2

Wash and clean the chicken thoroughly.
3

Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the bay leaf and finely chopped onions. Sauté the onions until they turn light golden brown.
4

When the onions are golden, add the chicken pieces. Add all the dry spices (red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chili powder), salt, and the fresh coconut spice paste.
5

Sauté the chicken and spices on low heat until the oil separates. Then add water as needed, cover, and cook the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes until tender.
6

After 12 to 15 minutes, check if the chicken is cooked through. Add chicken masala, garam masala, and a little dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
7

Garnish with finely chopped fresh cilantro and serve the hot chicken curry with roti, rice, bhakri, or paratha.

मै एक हाउस वाइफ हूँ। मैं एक आत्मनिर्भर वूमेन के रूप में अपने आप को रिप्रेजेंट करना चाहती हूं इसके लिए मैंने एक छोटी सी पहल की है मेरा एक यूट्यूब चैनल जिसका Mamta's Food Magic है और आप मुझे Instagram पर @mamtashahu1980 को सर्च कर देख सकते हो जहां मैं कई फेमस ब्रांड के साथ कोलेबोरेशन भी कर रही हूं।और मैं अपने इसी मंच Cookpad हिंदी में कम्युनिटी मैनेजर के पद पर भी काम कर रही हूं। खाना बनाना मेरी हॉबी ही नहीं मेरा पैशन है।😍मुझे खाना बनाना और खाना बना कर अपने परिवार और दोस्तों खिलाना पसंद है । मै ऐसी रेसिपी बनाने की कोशिश करती हूँ जो झटपट बन जाए खाने मे स्वादिष्ट पौष्टिक हो और कम खर्च मे बन जाए।
