This Chicken curry comes from south canara region of Karnataka. It is very commonly made in Mangalore. It has a very flavorful combination of red chilies, coconut milk and curry leaves.
Ingredients
Olive Oil – 4 tbsp
Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
Curry leaves – handful
Garlic cloves – 8 – crushed
Onion – 1 medium - chopped
Tamarind extract – 2 tbsp
Coconut milk – 1 cup
Coriander leaves for garnishing.
For Marinade
Chicken – 600 gm
Lemon juice – 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – 1 tsp
Salt
For Masala
paste
Scrapped coconut – 1 cup
Coriander seeds – 2 tbsp
Cumin seeds – 2 tsp
Black peppercorns – 15
Fenugreek seeds – ¼ tsp
Dry red chilies – 10
Onion – 2 medium – roughly chopped
Method
Marinate the chicken with lemon juice, turmeric
powder and salt. Keep it aside for half an hour.
Dry roast the grated coconut till slightly brown
and remove it in a plate. To the same pan add coriander seeds, cumin seeds,
black peppercorns, fenugreek seeds and dry red chilies and dry roast till
fragrant. Grind the roasted coconut and spices along with onion into a fine
paste. Add some water if needed.
Now heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and
let it crackle. Add curry leaves and garlic cloves and saute till fragrant. Add
onion and saute till it turns pink. Add
the ginger-garlic paste and above ground masala paste and saute till oil
separates. Add marinated chicken and saute for a min. Add some water, tamarind
extract and salt. Check for seasoning. Cover and cook till the chicken is
completely done. Once done uncover the lid and add coconut milk. Cook for
another min and adjust the consistency of the gravy. Garnish with coriander
leaves. Serve hot.
My Notes
ü Do not roast the coconut for too long. It just
needs to turn into very light brown color.
ü After adding the masala paste if it bubbles too
much then cover and let it cook till the masala gets fried well and oil
separates.
Olive oil ?!
