Kozhi Kulambu (Chicken Gravy)

When it comes to non veg, we rarely prepare at home. My hubby dear is very much intended towards Vegetarian and me too not a strict non vegetarian. I have one of my best friend and her mom is an excellent cook, especially non veg. Till date if I wish to prepare any non veg item, I used to call her and get recipe from her. Everything has turned out so well. This is one among them. Its so simple and it tastes so great. 

Ingredients:

Chicken - 1/2 kg

Onion - 1 big

Tomato - 2 

Green Chillies - 2

Red Chilly Powder - 2 tsp

Coriander Powder - 4 tsp

Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tbsp

Coconut Paste - obtained from half coconut+1tsp cumin seeds

Seasoning

Clove - 2

Cinnamon - 2 inch piece

Fennel Seeds - 1 tsp

Star Anise - 1

Cardamon - 1

Method:

Cut and clean the chicken pieces well. First with water and then with turmeric powder. 

Cut the onion, tomato and green chillies. 

Marinate the chicken with ginger garlic paste, salt, chilly and coriander powder. 

In a kadai, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the seasoning items and then add the onion. 

When the onion turns translucent, add the tomato and green chillies. Saute for a minute. 

Then add the marinated chicken and saute till the chicken is half cooked. 

Add 2 cups of water and close the kadai. Once the chicken is cooked well, add the coconut paste. 

Switch off the stove, once it starts boiling. 

Garnish with pudhina leaves. 

This kulambu will be little watery. Its a good combination with dosa/Idly. You can even have it with Rice/Roti.
