Chicken Dry / Chicken Chukka

Chicken dry is a mouthwatering dish,where chicken is marinated in spices and cooked with onion till it turns dry.I was inspired by Priya of  "Priya's easy and tasty recipes".She has done it perfectly.I tried it out immediately,it came out really good.Delicious too.The secret of dry chicken is,the way we saute the onion.Onion shud be sauteed perfectly ,till it turns dark brown.If not,we will not be able to get the blood red coloured chicken.Sure ,it will taste like restaurant style chicken chukka.


Chicken dry

Ingredients:
1.Chicken pieces             -         1 pound ( Including leg piece)
2.Onion                           -          1/2
3.Ginger                          -          1 inch
4.Garlic                           -          6 to 7 pods
5.Curry leaves                 -          few
6.Fennel seeds                 -         1 tsp

For Marination:
1.Chilli pwdr                   -           1 tbsp
2.Turmeric pwdr              -           1/4 tsp
3.Red chilli pwdr             -           1/4 tsp
4.Lemon juice                   -           2 tbsp
5.Garam masala                -            1/2 tsp  (optional)

Method:
* Cut the chicken and slit the leg piece.
* Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients under "Marination".
* Let it sit for 2 hours.
* Take a pan,add oil ,splutter with fennel seeds and curry leaves.
* Now add the crushed garlic,chopped ginger and onion.
* Let it get sauteed well.It shud turn into dark brown in colour.This is the essential step for this curry.
* Now add the marinated chicken into the pan,along with its juices.
* Cover the pan and cook till the chicken turns tender or it is cooked 90%.
* Once the chicken is cooked,remove the lid and cook it in high,till the juices are evaporated.Taking the lid off,helps the chicken to be dry without any moisture.
* Squeeze some more lemon juice and serve with sliced onion.
