Murg Chicken Chaat Recipes

Steps:

• Boil chicken breasts with salt and turmeric powder for 15 minutes.
• Drain, cool and shred the chicken.
• Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté julienned onion, capsicum and tomatoes for 5 minutes.
• Add shredded chicken.
• Add chaat masala and chili powder. Toss well.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.

Steps:

• Stir the yogurt and tandoori masala powder together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour. Drain and discard any excess marinade.
• Puree the onion, ginger, and garlic with the water in a blender until it forms a smooth paste; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Fry the onion paste in the hot oil until the moisture is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the garam masala and chili powder over the mixture; cook 1 minute more. Pour the tomato sauce into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan along with the half and half; bring to a boil. Add the butter, fenugreek leaves, and salt; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into large chunks (each piece weighing not more than 50 gms each).
• Rub the chicken pieces with the ginger-garlic paste, salt and pepper and keep aside for 30 - 45 minutes.
• Mix together the cheese, yoghurt and cream till smooth (should not have any lumps), and add to the chicken. Keep aside for another 30 minutes.
• To prepare the chicken, roast it in a preheated oven till almost done. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, removing it only during the last 10 minutes of baking.
• To prepare the gravy, boil the onion and cashew nuts together for 20 minutes.
• Drain and grind together to a smooth paste.
• Heat oil in a saucepan and add the ginger-garlic paste. Saute for 30 seconds.
• Add onion-cashew nut paste, salt, pepper, cumin and coriander powders, and chicken stock. Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
• In a separate saucepan, heat a little oil and add chicken, cumin and coriander powders and a little water (to help with the mixing). Saute for about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the gravy and mix well.
• Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the cream and cardamom powder. Stir well.
• Garnish with cardamom powder, saffron, cheese and chopped corriander.
• Serve hot.
