Dahi chicken roast


This recipe was initially cooked as an afterthought after having a proper chicken curry ready, but ended up to be the primary dish while eating. It was absolutely lip-smacking.



Getting ready :

Chicken leg pieces - 200 gms
Cardamom, Cinnamon and Cloves - 3 pieces each
Oil - 6 tbsps
Onions - 3
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Curry powder - 1 tbsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 2 tsps
Cornflour - 1/2 tsp
Curd - 1/2 cup
Fresh cream - 2 tbsps
Coriander leaves for garnish

Salt to taste

Lighting the stove :

Wash 200 gms of chicken drumsticks or any normal medium sized pieces and mix with salt and turmeric powder 
Heat oil in a pan and fry lightly for 5-10 mins and remove from pan.
In the same pan, add some more oil and throw in some Cardamom, Cinnamon and Cloves. Add sliced onions and fry for 5 mins and then add ginger-garlic paste and fry 2 mins more.
Add the chicken pieces and cover and cook till chicken is almost soft. 
Then, mix the curry powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder and cornflour in curd and mix well. Pour it into the pan while keeping the flame low.
Cook for 5 mins covered and then add fresh cream. Add coriander leaves and serve hot.


It is definite worth serving the guests in a party or any special occasion. Just don't make it a gravy dish. It tastes best when it is mostly dry.
