CLASSIC BALTI CHICKEN

This recipe has a beautifully delicate flavour, and is probably the most popular of all Balti dishes. Choose a young chicken as it will be more flavoursome.
Serves :
6

Preparation Method :

  • Skin the chicken, and then use a sharp knife to cut it into eight pieces.
  • Wash and trim the chicken pieces and set to one side.
  • Heat the oil in a large karahi, wok, or deep pan. Add the onions and fry until they are golden brown.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir well.
  • Add the piece of cinnamon stick, cardamoms, peppercorns, black cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, garam masala, chilli powder, and salt. Lower the heat and stir-fry for 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken pieces, two at a time, and stir-fry for at least 7 minutes or until the spice mixture completely penetrates the chicken pieces and they are beginning to brown.
  • Add the yogurt to the chicken and mix well.
  • Lower the heat and cover the pan with a piece of foil, making sure that the foil does not touch the food.
  • Cook very gently for about 15 minutes, checking once to make sure the food is not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Finally, add the lemon juice, fresh coriander, and green chillies.
  • Serve immediately, straight from the pan.
