| Chicken Gravy with Mint & Cashew |
This recipe came out when I started to prepare a normal chicken gravy. The actual recipe when cooking in halfway I found salt was added a bit high. Instead adding curd as such to the gravy just tried out grinding with mint and curd. When I felt to have a little thick consistency soaked and grinded the cashews and I served along with rice. So this would be a book mark even for me to prepare the next time.
Ingredients:
Chicken - 1/2 kg
Pepper corns - 1 tsp
Cinnamon - 1 stick
Chicken masala - 3 tsp
Coriander powder - 3 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Green chillies- 2
Coriander leaves - 1/2 cup
Onion - 2
Tomato -1
Curry leaves - few
Shallots - 10 cup (cut into thin slices)
Garlic - 4
Ginger - 1 inch
Crystal salt - 2 tsp
Coriander leaves - to garnish
To grind:
Paste 1: Mint & Curd
Paste 2: Cashew -10 (soak for 10 minutes and grind to fine paste)
