This week’s #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is Curries From The South suggested by Narmadha who blog at Nams Corner. If you love authentic dishes then do visit her space. Narmadha has amazing collection of authentic and innovative recipes. I have bookmarked her Baked chicken nuggets recipe to try. I also love her different kinds of soup and rasam recipes.

Now coming to the recipe. You can also make this chicken curry in pressure cooker to make it in less time. You have to dry roast Poppy seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, green cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, whole peppercorn and a small piece of star anise. Star anise is optional, if you don’t have it then you can skip it.

These dry roasted spices will make your curry flavorful. Always marinate the chicken at least for 30 minutes. You can cover and keep the marinated chicken overnight in refrigerator. And onion, curry leaves, tomato will give a wonderful taste to the curry. I always use mustard oil to marinate the chicken but you can skip it if you want.

Method

1. Clean and wash the chicken well. Drain and keep aside.

2. In a bowl mix curd, lemon juice, mustard oil, ginger garlic paste, black pepper powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. Add chicken pieces and mix well. Marinate for 30 minutes or an hour. I like to use little mustard oil in marination. But you can skip it if you want. You can marinate the chicken without any oil.

3. In a pan dry roast poppy seeds lightly and transfer the seeds on a plate. In the same pan dry roast cumin seeds, coriander seeds, green cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and star anise. Star anise is absolutely optional if you don’t have, skip it. I like the flavour so I used a small piece. Grind the roasted poppy seeds and all the whole spices when cool.

4. Heat oil in a pan or wok. Add chopped onion, curry leaves and green chilli. Add green chilli according to your spice tolerance. I have used 4 chopped green chilli and 2 slit green chilli. Fry till onion becomes light brown.

5. You can also make it in pressure cooker. See notes for pressure cooker method.

9. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Check and stir in between.

10. After 15 minutes my chicken was still slightly uncooked so added 1 cup water more and cooked covered for 10 minutes on low heat.

  • wp 1616994969009



11. Add water as require to get your desired consistency. Add water and when its starts to rolling boil cover and cook on simmer for 10-15 minutes more or till chicken becomes soft. Timing depends on the quality of chicken. Sometimes chicken cooked perfectly in 10 minutes. You can also make this curry semi dry or dry. Add water accordingly.

12. Remove from heat. Your spicy delicious Andhra style chicken is ready.

13. Garnish with cilantro or coriander leaves and slit green chili. You can also use lemon wedges for garnishing. Serve with steamed rice, pulao, jeera rice, roti, paratha, naan or any bread.

Notes

1. You can also make this curry in pressure cooker. After adding water pressure cook for three whistle. For pressure cooker add only 1 or 1&1/2 cup water or as you like your gravy.

2. You can add more chillies to make your curry more spicy or use less chillies if you are making for kids.

      Your Andhra style Chicken looks very tempting with that beautiful colored gravy. With poppy seeds and whole spices going in I am sure the gravy must have been a flavorful and aromatic.

    Hello there!

    I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

    Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

    My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

    However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.
