Chicken/ Murg Lahori

I wanted to prepare some chicken gravy dish that could go well with Roti/ Jeera rice. Came across some chicken gravy dishes on google so, with the help of those and by adding a little twist to those tried this Chicken Lahori gravy dish which turned out really well. Would like to share the recipe with all my viewers 

Ingredients 

• 250 Gram Chicken

• 2 Onions Sliced (medium sized)

• 2 Tomatoes Chopped (medium sized)

• 1 Tbsp Ginger -Garlic paste 

• 2 Green Chilies

• 1 Tsp Cumin seeds

• 2 Bay leaves 

• 1/2 Tsp Turmeric powder

• 1 Tsp Red Chili powder

• 1 Tsp Coriander powder

• 1/4 Tsp Garam Masala

• 3/4 Cup Hung curd

• 1 Inch Ginger juliennes

• 1 Tbsp Oil

• Salt to taste 

Method

• Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add cumin seeds and bay leaves 

• Allow the cumin seeds to crackle, then add sliced onion, chopped tomatoes and fry them for two minutes 

• Add ginger garlic paste , red chilli powder, turmeric powder, green chili and salt and mix it well

• Pressure cook the above onion-tomato and spice mixture over two whistles without adding water on high flame

• Remove it from heat and cool the pressure cooker

• Take off the lid and you will get a nice aroma of the cooked onions and tomatoes and the onions and tomato will ooze out some water 

• Place the cooker on a high flame back and add the chicken pieces and mix them well 

• Once again pressure cook it over one whistle and when done cool the pressure cooker again and remove the lid

• Now place the cooker on a medium flame and add ginger julienne, cumin powder, coriander powder, beaten hung curd and mix all the ingredients well 

• Now cook it on medium flame by stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes to the required consistency 

• Serve it hot with Naan or Jeera rice
