Ingredients:

  • Chicken (with bone)- 1200 gram
  • For chicken marination,
    • Salt to taste
    • Turmeric powder-1 teaspoon
    • Dry fenugreek leaves(Kasoori methi)- 1 tablespoon
    • Beaten Yogurt- 400 gram
  • For cooking,
    • Fenugreek leaves(fresh)- 1 bunch
    • Onion(chopped)-2 medium
    • Ginger Garlic Paste- 2 tablespoon
    • Green chilli(slited)- 3 pieces
    • Ghee- 1 tablespoon
    • Sunflower Oil- 1 tablespoon
    • Bay leaves- 2 pieces
    • Cinnamon stick- 2 pieces(small)
    • Black cardamom- 1 piece
    • Green cardamom- 5-6 pieces
    • Clove - 3 pieces
    • Mace- 1 whole
    • Caraway seeds(shahi jeera)- 1/2 teaspoon
    • Salt to taste
    • Coriander Powder- 1 teaspoon
    • Cumin Powder- 1 teaspoon
    • Kashmiri red chilli powder- 1 teaspoon

How to Make:

  1. Take the chicken in a mixing bowl. Add all ingredients for marination and marinate it well.
  2. Cover with a cling film & Keep in fridge for 3 hours.
  3. Take oil in a pan.
  4. Add ghee and allow it to melt.
  5. Now Put all whole spices in it.
  6. Let it crackle until aroma comes out.
  7. Add chopped onion and season it with salt.
  8. Fry until it gets translucent.
  9. Add ginger garlic paste and cook until raw flavour is gone.
  10. Add fresh fenugreek leaves.
  11. Season with salt.
  12. When leaves become soft then add marinated chicken and cook in medium heat.
  13. Add all spice powder and mix well.
  14. Put green chilli slit and give it a good mix.
  15. After few minutes you can see chicken will start to leave water. Then cover and cook in medium to low heat for 35 minutes.
  16. Check the chicken is completely cooked or not.
  17. At this stage you can stop cooking if gravy consistency is ok for you. But I need more dry garvy, so I had cooked for few more minutes at high heat to dry it up.
  18. Turn off the flame.
  19. Enjoy with Rooti, paratha, chapati, rice whatever you like.

My Tip: 

  • I always prefer to leave the marinated chicken for atleast 3 hours (or more than that). It will help to infuse the flavour in the chicken more. But if you are in hurry, you can keep it for 30 minutes.
  • For this recipe, don't add any water. Chicken and yogurt both releases lot of water, with that chicken will get cooked.
  • This chicken recipe is very healthy because it contain fresh green fenugreek leaves and yogurt. Here also we are using less oil which is also very good for health.

Christmas Cake (Part-1): Dry Fruits Soaking in Rum

-

Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake. It is very important to allow the cake to be matured by feeding with alcohol. After baking some tiny wholes will be made with a skewer to feed the cake. Brush the cake with alcohol twice in a week after baking. Here I am using Rum to soak the fruit and will do the feeding after baking the cake with Rum. If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
