Malai Chicken

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (185 ml) oil
  • 2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 2.5 lb (1 kg) boneless chicken chunks preferably thigh
  • 3.5 lb (12) medium tomatoes chopped
  • ¾ cup (185 ml) double cream
  • 3 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2.5 teaspoon red chilli powder or to taste
  • 3 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 3 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
  • 5 pods green cardamom
  • Coriander for garnish
  • green chilli for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat up oil in a pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes on high, till they are golden.
  • Add the chicken pieces and cardamom pods. Continue to sauté this on high heat till the chicken is no longer pink and is lightly browning, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and all the spices. Continue to stir on high heat. The tomatoes will release a lot of their moisture, but you must continue to stir..
  • Continue to sauté till all the moisture has dried out and the tomatoes cling to the chunks of chicken, as shown below.
  • At this point, add the double cream. Once again, sauté this till it dries down till how it looked like in step 4.
  • Garnish with coriander, green chilli, long strips of ginger and a drizzle of cream.
