“I love Curry”
It is a book by Anjum Anand in which I tried all her recipes except few non-vegetarian recipes.I liked all of them and here comes my next entry after the Paneer Bruschetta from her book.
It has now become as one of the most wanted gravies by my family members. I am sure you also like it.
Basic Information:
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Idle Time: 30 minutes – 8 hours
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
For Marinade:
Chicken – 400 grams, boneless, skinless
Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Plain yogurt/Curd – 2 tablespoons
Lemon Juice – 2 teaspoons
Ginger garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
For Masala:
Poppy Seeds – 1 tablespoon
Cloves – 6 nos
Whole black pepper – 1/2 tablespoon
Fennel seeds – 2 teaspoons
Dry red chillies – 6 nos
Cumin seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
Cinnamon stick – 2 inch length piece
For Gravy:
Oil – 4 tablespoons
Onion – 1 no, finely chopped
Tomatoes – 2 no, blended to a smooth paste
Curry Leaves – 2 strings
Salt – to taste
Turmeric powder – as required
Ginger Garlic paste – 2 teaspoons
Method:
1) Wash and cut the chicken into cubes. Mix all the ingredients given for marinade and then mix with the chicken cubes. Marinate it for minimum of 30 minutes to maximum of 8 hours or overnight.
2) Dry roast the ingredients given for roasting and make a fine powder of it after it cools down to room temperature. Colour of the spice powder differs based on the quality of the ingredients used.
3) Heat oil in a thick bottom pan. Add onion and saute until it turns translucent.
4) Add the ginger garlic paste given for gravy. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
5) Add tomato paste and cook until the oil separates from it.
6) Add the dry roasted and powdered spices to the gravy. Add 1/2 cup – 1 cup of water to the pan and continue heating until the gravy comes to the homogeneous state.
7) Add the chicken with its marinade. Continue cooking over a high heat, stirring constantly until the yogurt get incorporated with the chicken. Add salt and 1/2 cup of water. Mix well.
8) Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes on low flame. After 5 minutes, stir often, as it help the sauce to a creamy consistency.
9) Taste and adjust the seasoning.
10) Add lemon juice and curry leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice.
Note:
1) After adding chicken, it is optional to add water. Chicken cubes itself leaves out some water while cooking. So increase or decrease the water quantity as per your need.
2) Add water with the powdered spice mix to avoid lumps.

Super. Awesome… Loved it.. came very well.. good step by step instructions… it came as Yummy and spicy… 🙂
does your picture not have sesame seed in it? yet you say poppy seed…
I can't get it to turn out that dark brown. maybe the wrong seed is the problem!
I used only poppy seeds not sesame seeds. It also called as kasa kasa. Colour of the recipe is not a problem. I got this colour due to masala which I added (which is from black pepper, cinnamon and dry red chilli). you can refer the picture for the colour of the masala.
Right on. They're white poppy seeds then, I thought they only came in black. I'll have to try that sometime!

Abba Abba Abba, Mouth watering i am going to try it right now Bye.
Emergency! Please help!
I am having guests come over in 3 hours and I have used all the spices I had to make the masala powder. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of adding a couple of cardamoms and now the masala powder smells funny. Would continuing with this powder be fine or would I have to rush to the Indian grocer at the other end of town to buy more spices?
Thanks,
Desperate newbie! 🙁
Sorry. I happen to see your message now only. you can continue with the masala with cardamom to prepare this gravy. It slightly change the taste and favour but otherwise fine.
