Chicken Chukauni

Passos6

1. 1

   Pas 1. Marinate the chicken

   Place skinless, boneless chicken thighs in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp garlic paste, 2 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, 0.5 tsp turmeric powder, 1.5 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, salt and pepper to taste, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp oil. Mix until all chicken pieces are well coated with the marinade. If you have time, let it marinate; otherwise proceed to cooking.

   Chicken breast works too if you prefer leaner meat.

   Pas 2. Fry the chicken

   Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add 3 tbsp oil. Fry the marinated chicken in batches to avoid steaming. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook through on the other side. Remove cooked chicken to a bowl.

   Cooking in batches ensures the chicken fries rather than steams, giving you that lovely color.

   Pas 5. Make the tadka

   Heat a small pot and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add 1 tsp mustard seeds. When they start sputtering, add 1 tsp cumin seeds, then 3 chopped cloves of garlic. Cook until the garlic is lightly golden. Turn off the heat and add 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, 0.5 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp crushed fenugreek leaves. Swirl together.
