How to Make Spicy Chicken Thick Gravy
- Wash 1.5 lbs of chicken thoroughly and use a knife to make a few shallow slashes in the chicken to help the juices penetrate.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 cup plain yogurt. Set aside.
- (Optional) Marinate the chicken mixture for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a deep casserole dish or pot over medium heat. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and let them splutter.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1 tsp turmeric powder.
- Add 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cardamom pods, 3 cloves, and 2 bay leaves. Fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 chopped tomatoes and sauté until softened and their smell fades (about 5 minutes). Mash the tomatoes slightly with a spoon.
- Add 2 medium cubed potatoes and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Add the marinated chicken mixture to the pot and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves.
- Add 1 cup of water (or more, as needed for desired consistency).
- Cover the pot and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through (about 25-30 minutes).
- Check for seasoning. Add more salt to taste.
- For extra heat, add more chili powder as desired.
- Garnish with 1 tsp of cream before serving. Enjoy with bread, rice, or chapatis!
