Coriander Chicken, with friends at home

Friends just dropped in, and you don’t feel like ordering food?

Here’s a new recipe for a chicken curry that you can make quickly at home, and polish off with rice or roti.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a recipe for coriander chicken. (For those from the American continents: Coriander is our word for cilantro.)

Clean the chicken with running cold water
Mix the curd, lemon juice, coriander powder, chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt into a marinade
Add the chicken, and let it soak in the marinade
Meanwhile, blitz the coriander leaves and the garlic pods in the mixer, and pour most of the resulting paste into the marinating chicken
Keep a little of the paste aside for later
Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes

Set your oven to medium heat, put on the pan, and heat the oil and the ghee
Put in the bay leaf and the cinnamon stick, and stir it around so they don’t burn
Pour in the onion paste and keep stirring: Don’t let it stick to the bottom
Then, just when the onion starts becoming a beautiful golden-yellow, put in the tomato paste and stir some more
When the entire thing has achieved a homogeneous colour, put in the rest of the coriander paste and stir a little more till the mixture achieves a beautiful greenish tinge
Now, pour in the marinated chicken, and make sure the spice and pastes cover all the pieces
After some time, when the chicken is cooked well and the gravy is starting to get very thick, pour in some water
Let the water mix in, so you have the desired amount of gravy with the chicken
And voila! The coriander chicken is ready!
