Chettinad chicken curry


I wanted to try this recipe for a long time. I got this  recipe from  internet and looked interesting to me. My son loves chicken and I love to make different flavor with chicken.
We liked the taste of it and I hope u like it too.

Ingredients :
( serving for 4)
Chicken - 2 lb
Ginger garlic paste - 8 tsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp or to taste
Pearl onion - 25 count
Tomato - 3 medium size
Green chilli -2
Poppy seeds 1.5 tsp
Coconut milk  1/2 cup
Oil - 3 Tbsp

Roast and make powder from below.
1 tsp - pepper
1 tsp - jeera
4 tsp - coriander seeds
6 to 8 red chilli
1.5 tsp fennel seeds
8 curry leaves

Marinate chicken, ginger garlic paste, chilli powder and salt and set it aside a day or at least 4 hrs.
Soak poppy seed in hot water for an hour and then grind poppy seed with little cocunut.

Method :
1. In a pan add oil. Once it's hot add pearl onions and fry nicely.
2. Add chicken and add the ground powder . Close the lid and let it all merge nicely.
3. Add chopped tomatoes and again close the lid.
4. Pour cocunut milk and let it boil.
5. Add grind poppy seed and cocunut mixer.
6. Let it boil for 20 minutes.
7. Add coriander leaves and curry leaves and let sim for 5 minutes.
Adding curry leaves at the end gives a fresh curry smell to the dish.
I like it this way. Try it and let me know.
Enjoy cooking and tasting.
