Hara Masala Murgh Recipes

Steps:

• Thoroughly rub chicken pieces with ginger paste, garlic paste, and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Heat the oil in a large deep saucepan or a kadhai over medium-high heat; fry the chicken pieces in the oil on both sides until well browned, about 5 minutes.
• Mix the yogurt, almonds, cumin, coriander, and turmeric together in a bowl. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and turn to coat; cook another 10 minutes. Stir the mashed chile peppers, cilantro, and mint into the pot; season with salt. Add the water, cover, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes more. Stir the cream into the sauce just before removing from heat to serve.

Steps:

• Heat ghee or oil in a medium pot or wok for about 30 seconds over medium. Add the onion, peppercorns and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, ginger and garlic, and cook on medium-high, stirring frequently until the chicken is no longer pink or fleshy and the onions have softened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chile powder and salt. Continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup cilantro, 1 cup mint and the Thai green chiles, and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Stir in the yogurt and almond butter. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining ½ cup cilantro and ½ cup mint. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garam masala, if you like.

Steps:

• In a blender process all the ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE CHICKEN AND DATES, to make a smooth sauce.
• Heat a wok and fry the mix for a few minutes.
• Add the chicken, stir, cover the wok with a lid and cook for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the dates and serve.
• Simple wasn't it.
• Serve with noodles or rice and a vegetable curry, some bread to mop up the sauce might be good too.

Steps:

• Soak the cashew nuts in water for 10 minutes and fry the sliced onions until crisp.
• Grind the cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms, black pepper, cumin seeds and coriander seeds to a fine powder.
