Andhra-Style Green Chilli Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- Chicken (boneless works best)
- Turmeric powder
- Salt
- Ginger-garlic paste
- Fresh green chillies
- Coriander leaves
- Cashew nuts
- Cooking oil
- Coriander seeds
- Onions (finely chopped)
- Curry leaves
- Coriander powder
Method:
- Marinate the Chicken: Begin by coating the boneless chicken with turmeric powder, salt, and ginger-garlic paste. Let it rest for a while to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the Spice Paste: In a grinder, blend fresh coriander leaves, green chillies, and cashew nuts with a small amount of water to create a smooth, thick paste. Ensure the paste isn’t too watery.
- Combine Chicken with the Paste: Mix the spice paste with the marinated chicken and allow it to rest for better flavor infusion.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat oil in a kadhai and add coriander seeds, followed by chopped onions and curry leaves. For a stronger curry leaf flavor, add them at the beginning.
- Cook the Chicken: Once the onions start turning golden, add the marinated chicken with the spice paste. Optionally, you can keep the onions slightly raw for a more rustic texture.
- Adjust Consistency: Add a small amount of water—just enough to achieve a creamy consistency rather than a curry-like dish. Let the chicken cook until fully tender.
- Final Touch: Add additional curry leaves and green chillies if desired, then remove from heat.
- Serve & Enjoy: This flavorful dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, roti, or even on its own!
