No Fuss Chicken



I bring to you a keeper recipe. 

My ex-neighbour aunt messaged me this one recently and this could be one of the simplest non fussed and non prepped chicken preparations I know which turns out piquant, delicious and quirky. Great to eat with breads like pararthas or paos. Of course, please use wheat paos or if I may suggest methi parathas. 

Sharing the recipe for a kilo of chicken. Marinate the chicken on the bone after washing well with a whole lime juice and salt to taste. Marinate for 5 to 6 hours. 

In a warm wok add 2 tbsp ghee. Fragrant 2 tsp Hing or asafoetida in the ghee will add to the kitchen aromas. Now add a tsp cuimin seeds and when they sputter add 3 whole green chillies. Stir and add 3 cups of gently beaten curd stirring constantly. Next add 2 tsp freshly ground pepper and 2 tsp coriander powder. In a minute after stirring at low to medium heat add the chicken. Gently stir all over and cover the wok with a lid.Every 3/4 minutes toss till the chicken is cooked through. 

Take a generous bunch of mint leaves, wash well and add to the chicken. You can now increase the heat and generally stir well. 

Simple, well seasoned and appetising chicken on your table!
