Recipe Review- Recipe to make Indian Chicken Curry in a Hurry!


Sometimes in life, when you plan to spend a leisurely evening with your TV and family, then something happens to ruin your whole plan.

It was one Sunday evening and I and my husband have planned to watch our favorite movie on the TV, but suddenly the door bell rang and guesses what…our family friends were there. Though usually I enjoy there company, but today I was some what reluctant but threw my professional smile towards them. I knew now I would not be able to watch my favorite program, as now I would be busy in cooking.

My guests were sitting comfortably, enjoying and gossiping with the soft drinks I served them. Now, the point was what I will cook for them in the dinner? Suddenly something stroked in my mind and yes, there was frozen chicken in my freezer.

I took it out from the freezer, washed it and then started cooking with no special efforts.

Here is the recipe of the easiest Indian Chicken Curry, everyone can make:

  1. Wash the pieces of chicken and then marinate it by putting some Garam Masala, a little salt, turmeric powder and 1-2 tablespoon of curd along it.
  2. Chop 2 big onions and garlic in very small pieces and put it in oil for frying.
  3. Add 2-3 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 2-3 cloves, 4-5 crushed black pepper and 1 whole red chilly inside the oil. Let them splatter for a while.
  4. Then add the chopped onion, garlic and 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger in the oil, put some dry spices like pinch of turmeric powder, 1 table spoon of chilly powder and 3-4 spoons of coriander powder and of course according to your taste.
  5. Then add your marinated chicken with the dried spice powders in the pan, put some water so that it will not burn.
  6. Just sauté it on low flame occasionally by putting some water when needed.
  7. After 20 to 25 minutes, while you will see that the chicken is almost done, then put 1 glass of water and cover the lid of the pan and simmer it for another 10 minutes.
  8. Now open the lid and pour it into your serving bowl and garnish it with fresh coriander leaves.

It took me around half an hour to prepare this dish, and I served it with blended curd, chapatti and rice.

Everyone was praising me for this recipe, and all were saying that I really worked very hard for preparing it.

But I know the truth that I did not made any extra effort for preparing it, and I managed for watching my TV show also.

So, guys go for this simple recipe and believe me it can turn out to be a great one.
