I always assumed this particular dish to be a complicated dish
and never tried till one of my classmates shared his recipe with me. Of course
me being me could not follow the recipe and gave it my own changes. I hope all
of you enjoy this recipe and find it easy as I have. Since my daughter doesn’t
eat much spice I have sometimes avoided green chillies totally and gone with
only chilly sauce too. I have tried without the capsicum too and the dish came
out equally tasty without it too. So what I am saying here is you just need to
follow your heart and taste bud with this recipe.
Chicken
– 1 kg
Salt
– as per taste
Green
Chilly - as per taste
Onion
– 2 nos quartered and pulled apart
Capsicum
– cubed
Ginger
Garlic paste - 1 table
spoon
Light
Soya sauce – 1 to 1 ½ table spoon
Green
Chilly Sauce – as per taste
Tomato
Sauce – 2 to 2 ½ table spoon
Corn
flour – 1 table spoon
Water
– depending on whether you prefer to make it with more gravy or drier version
from half cup to more
Oil
– 3 table spoon
Marinate
the chicken in half of the salt you plan on using.
Heat
about 2 table spoon oil in a non stick pan and place the salt marinated chicken
and cook turning occasionally till all the sides are lightly browned and the
chicken is a almost cooked.
Take
the chicken out on to a dish and in the same pan add about one more table spoon
oil and add ginger garlic paste and nicely sauté for 2-3 minutes or till the
raw smell goes.
After this add the
quartered onions and sauté for couple of minutes or till they start to soften
add green chillies and capsicum and the chicken back into the pan.
Mix them
well and start adding the sauces. After you have added all the three sauces add
the water. Depending on whether you need more gravy or dry add water quantity and
let the chicken cook in this mix for about five minutes without lid. I added about half a cup of water since I wanted dry.
Check
for salt at this stage and season to taste.
Finally
dilute the corn flour in 2 to 3 table spoons of water and add to the dish and
mix well till the desired consistency of gravy is reached. Remember salt needs
to be added before corn flour is added to the dish.
Enjoy
