Recipe Summary

All Ingredients - Main Ingredients

  1. Desi Chicken 1 whole (approx. 1.5-2 kg), cut into pieces
  2. Cooking Oil 1/2 cup
  3. Onions 2 medium, sliced
  4. Tomatoes 3 medium, chopped
  5. Ginger-Garlic-Green Chili Paste 2 tablespoons
  6. Turmeric Powder 1 teaspoon
  7. Cumin Powder 1.5 teaspoons
  8. Red Chili Powder 1 teaspoon
  9. Salt 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
  10. 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.
