Indian Chicken With Vegetables Murgh Subji Wala Recipes

Steps:

• Remove skin and all visible fat from chicken; cut small slits into chicken to allow seasoning to penetrate; set aside.
• Heat oil in large saucepan; cook chicken pieces over medium-high heat until chicken is opaque, turning frequently, 5-6 minutes.
• Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Add cumin, onion, garlic, turmeric, and ginger to pan; cook stirring constantly until onions are caramelized, about 6-7 minutes.
• Add bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms, cayenne pepper, coriander powder and salt, stirring to mix well.
• Place chicken in pan, cover, reduce heat, and simmer till chicken is tender, 25-35 minutes.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle with garam masala.
• Serve with rice, hot breads such as naan or rotis, and vegetable dishes such as chole or saag, and possibly a salad.
• I also like to have fresh chilies and lemon wedges available as condiments also.

Steps:

• Remove skin and fat from chicken. Cut into 8 - 10 pieces. Cut 2 or 3 slits in each chicken piece, 1 inch long and 1/2 inch deep. Set aside.
• Grind onion, garlic and ginger to a paste. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in a single layer and fry 3 - 5 minutes, turning pieces over several times until they're white. Transfer chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• In the same oil add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves. Fry until cumin seeds turn golden brown. Add onion paste and fry until golden brown again. Whip yoghurt with a fork and add 1 tablespoon at a time to the onion masala until yoghurt is well blended. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture draws into a dense mass.
• Add chicken and any juices that may have accumulated. Stir thoroughly, add water and salt and mix again. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 - 25 minutes, covered.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees F and roast almonds in a baking pan until light brown (15 - 20 minutes). Shakes pan frequently to avoid burning.
• Add raisins to the chicken and stir thoroughly. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons roasted almonds, garam masala and chopped coriander. Stir gently.
• Transfer to a platter and garnish with the rest of the almonds.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-high; add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the tomatoes, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture; bring to a boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon cilantro over the chicken.
• Cover the skillet and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.
