All Ingredients - Main Ingredients
- Desi Chicken 1 whole (approx. 1.5-2 kg), cut into pieces
- Cooking Oil 1/2 cup
- Onions 2 medium, sliced
- Tomatoes 3 medium, chopped
- Ginger-Garlic-Green Chili Paste 2 tablespoons
- Turmeric Powder 1 teaspoon
- Cumin Powder 1.5 teaspoons
- Red Chili Powder 1 teaspoon
- Salt 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
- Water 2-3 cups
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté Onions and Tomatoes
Add 1/2 cup of cooking oil to a pot. Once hot, add the sliced onions and 1 chopped tomato. Sauté until the onions turn light golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: Add Ginger-Garlic-Chili Paste
Add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic-green chili paste to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Incorporate Remaining Tomatoes and Spices
Add the remaining 2 chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until they soften. Then, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1.5 teaspoons of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and cook the masala until the oil separates from the mixture, about 5-8 minutes.
Step 4: Brown the Chicken
Add the cut chicken pieces to the pot. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken with the masala. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the chicken changes color and is lightly browned.
Step 5: Pressure Cook the Chicken
Pour 2-3 cups of water into the pot, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged for the curry. Close the pressure cooker lid and cook for 15-20 minutes after the first whistle, or until the chicken is tender.
Step 6: Serve the Curry
Once cooked, carefully open the pressure cooker. Stir the curry and serve the Desi Murga Shorbay Walay hot in a bowl.
