Kerala – Nadan Chicken Curry
Description
Tender pieces of chicken are slow-cooked in the flavorful curry, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth experience. No coconut or tomatoes in the traditional, delicious preparation.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Heat coconut oil in a heavy-based, wide-mouthed pot (uruli).
-
Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
-
Also, add fenugreek seeds and allow them to just turn golden.
-
Next, add garlic and ginger and sauté till softened.
-
Now add the sliced onions and sauté well.
-
Add a little salt while sautéing. This speeds up the process and enhances the flavor.
-
Continue cooking patiently for around 10 minutes (or more), on med-low heat till the onions reduce to a thickened mixture; almost like a paste.
-
Add the spice powders: turmeric, coriander, chili powder.
-
Stir till aromatic. Careful not to burn.
-
Tip in the chicken and toss gently but quickly, to coat thoroughly with the spice mixture.
-
Add 1 - 1½ cups boiling hot water and add salt. Be careful not to add too much water!
-
Now, add the crushed whole spices.
-
Cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.
-
Add the curry leaves and coconut bits.
-
Stir gently and cook covered for 10 more minutes.
-
Lastly, add a dash of pepper, or to taste.
-
Remove from heat. Cover and allow to rest for at least half an hour for the best settling of flavors.
-
Delicious Kerala - Nadan Chicken Curry is ready to be enjoyed with your loved ones.
-
Serve with ghee rice or plain (Kerala) rice. Enjoy!
Note
- Key ingredients to the success of this dish are coconut oil, curry leaves, coconut bits, and spices (powdered as well as crushed).
- You can add a little more water if you like a 'looser' curry, but careful not to add too much as the flavor will be diluted too.
- Special Note: This curry is cooked on low to medium heat for the majority of the time.
- Optional. Rinse the cleaned chicken pieces and then apply some turmeric and lime juice for 5 minutes. Then rinse again. This removes the raw chicken smell and also acts as a disinfectant.
