Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1.Prepare Chicken for Marination
Take about 500g of chicken pieces in a bowl.
- 2.Add Spices to Chicken
Add salt to taste, 1 tsp of chili powder, 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp of garam masala, 1 tsp of roasted meat curry powder, and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder (optional) to the chicken.
- 3.Add Whole Spices
Add a few crushed cardamom pods and cloves, and two pieces of garcinia.
- 4.Add Cinnamon Sticks
Add two 2-inch cinnamon sticks.
- 5.Mix and Marinate Chicken
Mix all the ingredients well with the chicken pieces until evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for a few minutes.
- 6.Prepare Aromatics
Chop a few pandan leaves into 2-inch pieces. Slice half an onion. Chop a few green chilies. Quarter a few tomatoes. Chop a small piece of ginger and a few garlic cloves.
- 7.Sauté Pandan, Ginger, and Garlic
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped pandan leaves to the hot oil. Then, add the chopped ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- 8.Sauté Onions and Chili Powder
Add the sliced onion to the pot. Add a little bit of salt to help the onions cook faster and stir well. Add 1/4 tsp of chili powder and mix well, cooking until the onions turn golden brown and the oil separates, about 5-7 minutes.
- 9.Cook Marinated Chicken
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot. Mix the chicken well with the sautéed aromatics and spices. Cover the pot with a lid and let the chicken cook for a few minutes, allowing it to release its juices. Stir the chicken occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- 10.Add Water and Simmer
Add 1 cup of water to the chicken. Stir well, cover the pot, and let it cook for a few more minutes. Stir the chicken periodically while it simmers.
- 11.Add Tomatoes and Thicken Gravy
Add the chopped tomatoes to the curry and mix gently. Continue to cook the curry, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired thickness and the chicken is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 12.Serve the Curry
The spicy and tasty chicken curry is now ready to be served. Enjoy!
