INDIAN** Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So some guys asked me on servers to post about the recipe of Indian curry so on their request here is my version of chicken masala curry . I choose chicken as for some non Indian guys it may not feel interesting. And i shall 1st tell you that Indian food is not always spicy it just depends on taste of nations . So i start here Marination: .5kg chicken 3 tbsp curd (just to make chicken much more soft most Indians don't use it though) 2 tsp red chili powder(as according to taste u may like less but i recommend 2) 1/3 turmeric powder salt as per taste and marinate them for .5 hour Roast and make fine powder of cinnamon(don't use to much), 10 to 12 curry leaves, 5 cloves 1)Marinate chicken pieces in chili powder, turmeric powder, curds and salt for 30 mts or u can go for 1 hour don't put in fridge Indians do not do that. 2)Heat oil (as per the amount u think nearly 2 to 3 tsp) in a cooking vessel. Add the onions nearly 3 to 5 big ones and fry till they become orange pink. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry further for another 3-4 minutes on medium heat. 3)Add coriander pwd, cumin pwd, pepper pwd and garam masala and combine well and fry for another minute. 4)Add the 2 tomatoes and let it cook for 3-4 minutes. Combine well and cook till oil separates(oil separation this the most important step u must do that or it may cause dish to become very much oily and the onions will appear and taste as unfried).Turn off heat. Keep aside this masala paste. 5)Heat 1 1/2 tbsps oil in a cooking vessel and add the marinated chicken and cook for some time till u think its ok i think 10 to 12 min on medium heat would be good i judge it by its colour 6)In india we use chiken masala if u get it u can use it there also i prefer using it or u can add garam masala u would get it in super market or indian store it consists of black and white peepercorns ,cloves , cinnamon and black and white cumin seeds and cardamom) If u get it add 1.5 tsp of it or as per spicy u want. 7)Add the masala paste, ground powder of cinnamon, cloves and curry leaves and combine well. (Add a cup of water for more gravy consistency). Cook till chicken pieces are soft and you get the desired curry consistency. Adjust salt. .8)Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Enjoy do tell how was it .Try it please and tel me if u like it. If u want more indian dishes do tell what u want i will like to post them also .

INDIAN** Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 curd is youghurt we call it dahi in hindi curd is not cheese how did u ever think of that. curry leaves i think u would get it i see it very much often used on TLC still use basil if u want but wont give same flavor . U can take this with rice also or chapatis as we do in india it depends on how u make it if u make it much dry u can use chapatis . Both go well. never use lemon on chicken just a suggestion . i will also post about simple curry but that would be after 15 days after my exams. iamweasel so where did u visit in india had butter chicken??or famous bhelpuri and chat.?

slenderman Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Chapati is just like pita bread only flat, so I guess you can use that If you do want to make it at home just get some dough and make the dough flat and put it on a skillet and make sure you see black spots on each side so you know it's done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Who all are really interested in Indian dishes, just visit an Indian restaurant, visit their chef if possible, observe how they prepare the dishes. (if they permit you in) preparing Indian dishes isn't that easy. Even if you prepare, that will taste like boogies I just mean that you should have cooking experience from the past.
