This recipe is from my umma. I called her to get the recipe, but after trying out , I understood the taste is not reached near the curry prepared by her, though I used the same ingredients ! This is a very simple dish and good for those who love a very spicy chicken curry..

ReplyDeleterasnatharak,
ReplyDeletethanks alot for the good recipe .its look yummyyy
hi,
ReplyDeletei came across this recipe and it looks wonderful. just wanted to know one thing.dont we have to saute the onions. if we just mix them together with chicken and add water aont it get the raw taste of the onions..just wanted to make sure before i make it.
Thanks,
SS
Welcome Ss!
ReplyDeleteOnions won't taste raw, you have to chop them finely, and you cook it chicken until the chicken is cooked well. When we do seasoning all raw tastes will disappear.. this is very old naadan method of making meat curries in our area!
If you have doubt about the frozen chicken you use, which cooks easily within minutes, then saute the onions first and cook with other ingredients. Later you can do seasoning again in little oil, if you want..
Hope this helps, all the best! :)
hi seena,
ReplyDeletei made this curry..it came out well..u r right the raw taste wasnt der..but it was a little too spicy..i think i need to reduce the chilly pder next time. anyway thanks a bunch.
salaam.

Wa Alaikkum salam Saju,
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a very spicy curry as the title says..! We normally don't take much red chillies but use pepper or green chillies instead.. You can use kashmiri chilli powder in this , it will give very nice recolour but won't be too spicy!
:)
hi seena....ever since i came across ur recipes abt a month ago, i am hooked on to them. each one i tried has come out soooo good....i am thrilled to bits everytime i do something. today i am trying out this recipe. i have added rasam powder with the other masalas. i simply love rasam powder in all my cooking. will let u know how it turns out. thanks a ton.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! Trying with rasam powder..? let me know how it turned out.. :)enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHii... I made this one today.. I didnt use 1/2kg chicken but used the same amount chilly. It was spicy :) the way I love it :) but a li'l raw taste of chilly powder was left I guess. Any clue what might have gone wrong?
ReplyDeleteShilpa! :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems the chilly powder hadn't cooked well.Next time roast the powder for a while before you cook.. :)
oh hi seena.....i did rasam powder and some imli as well...turned out simply great. ofcourse being a bengali i dont know what the original taste of the dish is like. but i loved this...moushumi
ReplyDeleteSure. May be I did a small stupid thing.. I marinated it with water for 20 min. May be that got it dried. alle? I better keep my experimenting off at least with this dish :) The gravy was tasty only the pieces had a li'l raw flavor of the chilly powder.
ReplyDeleteMoushumi, Glad to know you loved it, I would love to try out with rasam powder.. :)
ReplyDeletethanks a lot.. :)
Yeah, Shilpa, it may be the reason.. :)
ReplyDeleteStill I can't make the exact version of mom's, I wonder how it happends.. :)
Looks fantastic. Can you please leave detailed instructns to make this recipe. Thanks!!! Great blog, btw.
