CHICKEN REZALA
Mini-trivia: This is another one of my favourite dishes and is very easy to cook. Try it and you'll love it.
This is good for new cooks, and tastes brilliant.
Here's what it looks like.
INGREDIENTS
Chicken - 600 gm (disjoined)
Curd (Yoghurt) - 200 gm
Onion - 6 (medium)
Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 tsp
Green Cardamom - 4
Cinnamon - 2"
Clove - 4
Pepper Corn - 8
Green Chilli - 6 (slit)
Ghee - 125 gm
Sugar - 1 tsp
Raisin - 20 gm
Salt - To taste
METHOD
1. Rub ginger garlic paste to chicken pieces and leave for 1 hour.
2. Cut onion in thick round slices.
3. Beat curd with 2 tsp water and mix with onion slice.
4. Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add whole spices, except green chillies. Add chicken pices and fry for five minutes.
5. Add the onion. Pour 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken becomes tender.
6. Add raisin and green chillies and cook 2-3 minutes more, till ghee has separated

Note: Its better to use fresh home made yogurt. Store bought ones are often too sour. So make sure the yogurt/curd is not too sour. Otherwise it will spoil the dish.
