Chicken Curry


Ingredients:

skinless chicken - 1 full 
ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp 
chilly powder -1 tsp
turmeric powder - 1 tsp
garam masala-1 tbsp
onion paste -3 tbsp
tomato -2 medium
coriander garlic chilly paste -1 tbsp(optional)
coriander leaves -for garnish 
water -2 cups
lemon -1/2 
salt -to taste 

Cooking time -20-25 minutes 
serves - 4-5 persons 

Method : 

Heat the pan with the oil & add the onion and ginger garlic paste. 

Cook this till it is brown.Now add the chicken pieces. 

Cook for 5 minutes & add turmeric powder



Now add the chopped tomato. 


Mix well and add the chilly powder & salt.
Remember once the chicken is defrosted & re-heated, the chilly will increase , so to be on the safer side add less chilly powder. Before getting the dish on the table check on the chilly and add accordingly. 
Now add 2 cups of water and let the chicken cook.
Add the coriander garlic chilly paste ( see recipe in the earlier posts).This is optional, if you do not have time for making the paste, chop coriander and add to the chicken curry.Add the garam masala & lemon juice .







Let this cook for another 5 minutes. Chicken curry is ready. 


Let this cool down, then take any air tight plastic container & add the portion you would like to consume in 1 serving. It would not be advisable to defrost the chicken and then re freeze it , so make portions that will be consumed at once.
It is also advisable to mention the date on the plastic container.





I usually use the plastic containers that I get from ordering home delivery or take away.


I have kept this recipe for about 2 weeks in the freezer and it tastes as though it was cooked freshly.


When you want to consume the chicken curry , please leave it out for at least 4-5 hours prior to re-heating.Or it can be kept in the refrigerator over night also.Avoid defrosting in the microwave. 


Cook the chicken curry for 10 minutes.Check the chilly , please add according to your taste. Add chopped coriander for garnish.


Chicken Curry is ready to be served.
