How to Make Chicken Curry (Step-by-Step Method)
1) Sabse pehle chicken ko achhe se wash karke side me rakh dein. Agar time ho to thoda namak aur haldi laga kar 15 minute ke liye rest dena aur better hota hai.
2) Ek kadhai ya heavy bottom pan me oil garam karein. Oil medium heat par ho to usme bay leaf, cardamom aur cinnamon daal dein. Thodi der me khushboo aane lagegi.
3) Ab chopped onions add karein aur medium flame par bhunein jab tak onion golden brown na ho jaye. Yahi step chicken curry ke taste ka base hota hai, isliye onion ko achhe se bhunna zaroori hai.
4) Onion brown ho jaaye to ginger garlic paste daal kar 1–2 minute tak bhunein jab tak raw smell khatam na ho jaye.
5) Ab tomato puree add karein aur mix karein. Is stage par thoda patience rakhein aur masala tab tak pakayein jab tak oil side se chhodna start na kar de.
6) Ab turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder aur salt daal kar achhe se mix karein. Masala ko low-medium flame par 2–3 minute bhunne dein.
7) Iske baad chicken pieces add karein aur masale ke sath achhe se coat hone tak mix karein. Chicken ko 4–5 minute tak bhunne dein taaki masala andar tak absorb ho jaye.
8) Ab pani add karein, mix karein aur kadhai ko dhak kar medium flame par 15–20 minute tak pakne dein. Beech-beech me check karte rahein.
9) Jab chicken achhe se pak jaye aur gravy desired thickness ki ho jaye, tab upar se garam masala aur fresh coriander daal dein. Gas band kar dein.
