Honestly people, I have never ever tested chicken chettinad before, but have seen its images and from them I could tell this must be very tasty and juicy stuff. So I decided to prepare in home.
This recipe does not belong to me, I thanks for many contributors from Internet for sharing their own recipes. I have referenced few recipes and have come up with my own.
So here it is Chicken Chettinad, we are going to use custom spice mix than store bought spice mix, a fresh spice mix always brings out best flavors.
Marination:
1/2 kg chicken (with Bone)
2 tsp sambhar masala
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oil
Mix both masalas, salt with lime juice and apply this marinade to chicken. Make sure chicken is coated nicely in marinade. Next add oil and just coat chicken, this will help marinade to stick to chicken.
Spice mix:
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
2 Red whole chilly
1" cinnamon stick
2 green cardamom
3-4 cloves
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup grated coconut
1 bay leaf
1 piece of star anise
Roast all above spices till aromatic, ground them in fine powder.
Next grind grated coconut along with spices and keep aside.
For chicken gravy:
I preferred thick gravy over thin gravy, but one can add more water as needed to make thin/runny gravy as well.
2 medium size onions (finely chopped)
2 medium size tomatoes (finely chopped)
chopped coriander
10-15 curry leaves
Final showdown:
- Add little oil in frying pan, and once its hot sear off chicken over high heat from both sides (2-3 mins each side) and set aside, keep juices as is in pan
- Now saute onions till they are cooked and then add spice mix that we had made earlier, saute well.
- Add in tomatoes and saute till everything has been cooked.
- At this point add in chicken and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add a cup of water, mix well and bring it to boil.
- Put lid on and let it on simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- chicken should be done by now, if you prefer thick gravy, turn on high heat and let water get evaporated.
- If thin gravy is preferred then just check for doneness and turn off heat.
- Garnish with coriander and lime wedge
Enjoy :)
