Chicken Dry Fry

Chicken Dry Fry is a great recipe and delicious also with lot of spices but with sticky gravy. In this recipe I avoid using medium or big pieces of chicken as the masalas do not get into the chicken pieces, so I use small pieces. This is for me is the easiest recipe of chicken with great taste.

CHICKEN DRY FRY

Servings: 4 to 5

Ingredients:

Chicken – 750 gms, cut into small pieces
Tomato – 2, finely chopped
Onion – 2, finely chopped
Ginger/ Garlic Paste - 2 tbsp
Curd - 1 cup
Green chillies - 3
Curry Leaves – 1 small bunch stem

Garam Masala powder - 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Chicken Masala powder - 1 tbsp
Red Chilly powder - 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tbsp

Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
Salt – as per your taste

Mustard Oil – 3 to 4 tbsp

Preparation:

Clean and wash the chicken pieces. I prefer to cut the chicken into small pieces. You can cut as per you want. Make sure you drain all the water from the chicken pieces after cleaning, else plenty of water will come out while you cook the chicken and it will spoil your effort.

Add half  cup of curd and ginger/garlic paste with the chicken pieces and marinate for 1 hour by keeping it in the refrigerator. 

Marinated Chicken

After 1 hour take out the marinated chicken from the freeze and allow the temperature to come down at room temperature.

Heat oil in pan. Add curry leaves, green chilli, chopped onions and tomatoes. Fry them all for few minutes till the tomatoes and onions get properly cooked.

In a bowl take rest of the curd,, add chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chicken masala powder and mix them well with the curd. Pour the curd masalas mixture into the pan and mix well altogether. Fry for a minute till the masalas cooked well.

Then add marinated chicken into it, mix well.

Add very little water, not more than half cup. Remember if you see water is coming out from the chicken, then you don't need to add extra water.

Mix well in medium flame and cook the chicken till the gravy gets dry.

Once the gravy gets dry, your Chicken Dry Fry is ready to serve.
