Unlike many other curries, Desi chicken curry requires the chicken to be fried for a while before any liquid is added.

Desi chickens are difficult to source in the UK, however, so any breed of chicken is appropriate for this particular recipe (though we would always recommend investing in a free-range bird). The recipe is taken from North Indian Abdul Yaseen.

Ingredients

  • Chicken thighs, 1kg, skin off and cut into two
  • Corn or vegetable oil, 75ml
  • Cumin seeds, ½ teaspoon
  • Bay leaves, 2
  • Green cardamom pods, 3
  • Black pepper corns, 4
  • Red onions, 4, finely chopped
  • Ginger paste, 1tbsp
  • Garlic paste, 1tbsp
  • Cumin powder, 2tbsp
  • Coriander powder, 2tbsp
  • Chilli powder, 1tbsp
  • Turmeric, 1tbsp
  • Salt, 2tsp
  • Tomatoes, 4, blended to a puree
  • Water or chicken stock, 400ml
  • Garam masala powder, ¼ tsp
  • Fresh coriander, 1tbsp, chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the whole spices.
  2. Once they crackle, add the onions and fry on medium heat until golden brown. Stir in the chicken and cook for a further 5-8 minutes.
  3. Add the ginger and garlic paste and coriander, salt, cumin, chilli and turmeric powders, and cook for another 10 minutes with constant stirring until the spices begin to release their flavours.
  4. Now add tomato puree and cook for another 5 minutes and add water or stock. Now reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked.
  5. Check the seasoning, if required, and sprinkle the roasted garam masala powder and finish with green coriander. Serve with steamed rice.
