WHITE CHICKEN HANDI

by

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken, boneless, cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, pureed
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat ghee or oil in a handi (or heavy-bottomed pot) on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  2. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
  3. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add pureed tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
  5. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are browned.
  6. Add yogurt and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
  7. Pour in the cream, garam masala powder, and lemon juice. Stir and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is tender and the gravy thickens.
  8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  9. Serve hot with naan, rice, or paratha.

Enjoy your White Chicken Handi!
