Add a photoIt's been a while since I have posted any chicken curry in the blog, I think during entire summer I avoided cooking and eating heavy chicken curries at home but now as the weather is back to almost perfect I decide to stir this subtly spiced chicken curry called Chicken - Do - Pyaza, I don't know why it is called Dopyaza, may be because only two onions are used in making the curry. Somewhere I read a historic explanation behind the name of the dish, once Mughal emperor Akbar Mullah Do Piaza accidentally added a large quantity of onions to a dish and hence royal khansama (chef) named it after him.
Ингредиенты

- 1 kg chicken with bone

Инструкции
- Clean, wash and pat dry chicken. Marinate with ginger garlic paste, salt and red chilli powder. Rub the marinade nicely over chicken pieces and let it rest in fridge for minimum 3 - 4 hours.
- Heat desi ghee in a deep saucepan and add bay leaf. Keep the gas flame low to medium. Add garlic - ginger paste. When it turns brown, add chopped onions and cook over low flame till it turns golden brown. Now add tomato puree and salt.
- Keep on sauteing masala until oil gets separated from it.
- Take some yoghurt in a bowl, add turmeric and red chilli powder, whisk it nicely. Add this mixture to the masala and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes.
- Add coriander powder, cumin powder, the marinated chicken, sambhar onion, water and garam masala.
- Mix nicely, cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken simmer over low heat until chicken is cooked through and the liquid is reduced a little bit. This takes around 15 minutes depending upon the chicken quality.
- Open the lid of open and check the chicken for doneness. Once chicken is done garnish with chopped coriander leaves and green chilies.
- Serve hot with rice or bread.
