Ingredients
1. Chicken with bone (cut into medium size pieces)
– 750 gm.
2. Potato (cut into halves) – 4
3. Onion (thinly sliced) – 2 (large)
4. Tomato (chopped) – 1 (medium)
5. Ginger paste – 1 table spoon
6. Garlic paste – 1 table spoon
7. Whole Garam masala (Cinnamon – 1″ stick, Clove –
3, Green cardamom – 3)
8. Bay leaf – 2
9. Dry red chilli – 1
10. Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon
11. Red chilli powder – 1.5 teaspoon
12. Garam Masala
powder – ½ teaspoon
13. Salt to taste
14. Cooking oil (preferably mustard oil) – 5 tbspoon
15. Chopped Coriander for garnishing.
Procedure :
1. Clean the chicken pieces and then marinate with turmeric
powder salt and 2 tbspoon of oil for minimum 30 mins.
2. Smear the potatoes with salt and turmeric
powder.
3. Heat 3 tbl spoon of oil in a large frying pan or
kadai over medium flame. Shallow fry the potatoes into it and keep them aside.
4. Now add whole garam masala, bay leaf, dry red
chilly (break them into halves) into the
remaining oil.
5. Then add chopped onion and fry till it turns
golden brown. Sprinkle little amount of salt while frying the onion. Then add
the ginger and garlic paste and cook till the raw smell of the masala goes
away. Add the tomatoes and cook till tomatoes become mushy and the oil
separates,
6. Now add marinated chicken, give it a good stir
and cook for couple of minutes. Cover and cook for 3-4 mins.
7. Then add fried potato, mix well and cook until
oil separates from the mixture.
8. Then add enough amount of hot water so that both
chicken and potatoes dips well into.
9. Let the water comes to boil, check for salt and
add if it is needed.
10. Then cover the pan with a lid and let it cook
over medium flame.
11. Switch the gas off as the chicken becomes
tender and gravy thickens as per your desire. I like this gravy to be little
watery, that’s why it is called “Jhol”.
12. Now give it a standing time of 5-6 minutes and
then serve hot with steamed rice.
