Rajputana Chicken
Kadhai - Kadai Chicken is a delicious Indian chicken curry where chicken is cooked
with freshly ground spices. This spicy curry goes well with naan or any other
Indian bread. For Marination – In this recipe, Chicken is marinated with certain ingredients that
include ginger garlic paste, Kashmiri red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice.
It is kept aside for 30 minutes so that the chicken soaks up the flavor well.
Kashmiri red chilli powder gives the chicken a nice colour, without making
it too spicy.
Onions and Capsicum – Just like Kadai Paneer, here also we will add cubed Onion and Capsicum
along with Chicken.
Onions and Capsicum are cubed in big pieces and then cooked on high heat to
get that smoky flavor.
For Kadai Masala – Coriander
seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, and dry red chilies are
roasted till they are aromatic and then ground into a fine powder.
The dry red chilies give this powder a beautiful red color, which also adds
to the color of this gravy.
Yogurt and Fresh Cream –
These two ingredients make the gravy creamy and also adds richness to the same,
making it even tastier.
Other Ingredients – To make
the base curry, we will need some everyday ingredients that include oil, black
cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, onions, tomato puree, Kasuri methi, ginger
garlic, green chilies, all-purpose flour, garam masala powder, salt, and
turmeric powder.
These whole spices, spice powders and other ingredients combined adds a lot of taste in this dish, which makes it irresistible.
