Fried Chicken in Gravy/ North Indian Chicken curry



















This recipe is typical North style. Half fried chicken in fresh cream gravy. This was passed onto me by a one time neighbour (lol) They were a bunch of energetic college girls who made me feel young whenever I was with them. They were full of life with a heart of gold. O yes, each one of them is special to me. They were kind enough to add me also (oldie) in their whatsaap group, so one day Amal passed on this recipe to me.... and it is real yumm ..... real real yumm...... Thanks Amal.... this one is for keeps.

Tomato: 2 medium sliced

Marinate the chicken in the "to Marinate" ingredients and keep aside for 2 hours or more.
Fry in oil till half done and keep aside.
In the same oil, saute the onions ginger, garlic and green chillies till it browns along the edges.
Now add the tomatoes and cook till it mashes.
Add the chilly powder and turmeric powder and required water.
Let it boil. Now add the chicken and let the chicken get cooked well.
