Servings: 4
Author: Maria Jose

Ingredients

  • 500 gms Chicken (cut into medium size pieces)

To grind:

  • 1 tbsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 3 tsp Chopped Garlic
  • 2 tsp Chopped Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper powder
  • 4 Cloves
  • 2 Cardamom
  • A small stick Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Poppy seeds (kashakasha)

For Masala

  • 3 medium Onion (finely sliced)
  • 6 Small / Pearl onion (finely sliced)
  • 1 medium Tomato (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Non-sour yogurt
  • 3/4 cup Boiling water
  • 1/2 cup Thick coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp Cashew paste

For garnishing

  • 1 Boiled egg
  • A handful of Fried cashews

Instructions

  • Grind the ingredients listed under 'to grind' label, with 2 tbsp water, to a fine paste. Take half of the ground paste & apply to the cleaned chicken pieces. Add salt also to the marinated chicken & keep it aside for half an hour. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan & add sliced onions & salt. Cook till it becomes golden brown in color. Remove half of the cooked onions to another plate & keep it aside. Add small onions to the onions in the cooking pan. Cook for a few minutes. Add tomato & cook till it becomes soft. Add non sour yogurt to this & mix well. Add remaining half of the ground masala & fry it till the oil starts appearing. Add marinated chicken pieces to this & mix well. Add 3/4 cup of boiling water and cover and cook the chicken.
  • Add cashew paste and the kept aside cooked onions to thick coconut milk. Stir well. When the chicken is almost cooked, add coconut milk mixture to the curry. Cook till the gravy becomes thick and the chicken pieces are coated well with the masala. The consistency of this curry is semi dry chicken, it has a pasty masala.
  • Garnish the cooked chicken with boiled egg & fried cashew. Serve hot with pulao/ghee rice/appam/roti etc;

Notes

This curry is towards a spicier side, so please adjust the measurements to suit your taste. I used coconut oil for this recipe. If you want to make it extra special, you can use ghee.

  2. Hi San,

    For cashew paste, soak 8-10 cashews in 1-2 tbsp hot water for 15 mins. Grind it into a smooth paste and use.

    Sorry for the delayed reply :((

    Cheers

  4. Maria,thanks…dear!! I just tried your recipe today and to be honest,it was a great success!! God Bless You,dear!!!

  5. i made this curry on easter and it was tasting aweome…everybody liked it:):) thanks Maria for ur receipe and that too in a user-friendly manner for us begineers:)

  7. Hi Maria, if i want to try out this recipe for 1 kg chicken do i double the quantity of all the ingredients mentioned?? will a kg of chicken be sufficient for a gathering of 7-8 people.. pls suggest ( iam new to cooking)

    • Hi Mini,

      I guess you will need around 1.5 kg chicken for 7-8 people, it also depends on how you cut the chicken, big or small pieces.

      hhmm for double the qty, ideally it should be double the ingredients but for curries, I dont think its the best way. I’m sorry dear, I wont be able to give the measurements off handedly :((((

      Cheers
      Maria

  9. Tried this excellent chicken curry. We had it with roti..I am planning to try it for a dinner party with appam. Can you suggest a vegetable curry for appam – it is not a malayali crowd .

    • Hi RS,

      I’m sorry for the delayed reply :( I’m away on holiday now, so I dont check mails regularly, that’s why.

      If egg is ok you can try egg & peas curry or egg roast or egg and potato curry (you can try this without eggs too) Otherwise you can try mushroom peas masala.

      Btw, nice to know that you liked the easter chicken curry, thanks for trying this.

      Cheers

  10. Hi Maria
     This is one of the best chkn curries i hv ever made. The best part is the chkn need not to be fried. Comes with enough gravy and just right with roti and appam. Thanks for sharing.

  12. Hi Maria;

    I cooked this curry today for my birthday boy (hubby) dinner, and it was superb. I don’t have chicken with bones so I resorted to use boneless chicken breast. Next time I’ll use whole chicken and try again. Thank you for sharing. Belated New Year wishes to you and family.

    • Hi Gangka,

      Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback here. Bleated b’day wishes to your husband!

      I should say this recipe tastes better with boned chicken, so please try it sometime :)

      Thanks for your wishes & wish you too a wonderful new year!

      Cheers
