One pot Kadhai Chicken recipe

Kadhai Chicken is a North Indian curry known for its tangy and spicy flavor. It is a classic curry cooked in a "kadhai" (Indian pan). This dish has chicken, aromatic spices, and a flavourful tomato-based gravy. It is delicious to eat and is very easy to make. Let's see how to make this dish quickly:

Ingredients:

• 500 g chicken, bone-in or boneless, cut into medium pieces

• 2 tbsp oil or ghee

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 medium tomatoes, pureed

• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

• 1 green bell pepper (capsicum), diced

• 1 green chili, slit 

• 2 tbsp fresh cream (for a creamy texture, totally optional)

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the Spices:

• 1 tsp cumin seeds

• 1 tsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed

• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

• 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp garam masala

• 1 tsp coriander powder

• 1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)

• Salt to taste

Method of making Kadhai Chicken Recipe:

• We will marinate the chicken first. Marinating the chicken is optional. Marinate the chicken with a pinch of turmeric, chili powder, and salt and set aside for 15-30 minutes.

• Heat oil or ghee in a kadhai or deep pan on medium flame.

• Add cumin seeds and crushed coriander to it and fry till the aroma comes out.

• After this, add chopped onions to it and fry till it becomes golden brown.

• Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

• Add tomato puree, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala, and cook until the oil separates from the masala.

• After the masala is cooked, add chicken pieces to the pan and mix well till the chicken is well coated with the masala.

• Then reduce the flame to medium and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently so it does not burn.

• After this, add chopped green capsicum and cook for 5-7 minutes. Cook till the chicken becomes soft and the chilies are slightly cooked and crispy.

• Once the curry is cooked, add kasuri methi crushed with your hand and fresh cream (if using). Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

• Taste once and adjust salt and spices as per your requirement.

• Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
