Greetings! Today I’m going to show you how to make a delicious Chicken Curry with authentic Sri Lankan village flavors in a very easy way. This can be made quite simply. Let’s see how to make this flavorful Chicken Curry.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken
- 1 piece of ginger (medium size)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 4 tablespoons roasted coriander powder
- 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon raw coriander powder
- Coconut oil
- Salt
- Onions
- Curry leaves
- Tomatoes
- 2 pieces of goraka (garcinia)
- Cinnamon stick
- Lemongrass
- Green chilies
- Turmeric
- 2 cardamom pods
- 2 cloves (crushed and added)
Instructions
I have taken 1 kg of chicken here. Wash it well and clean it thoroughly.
After washing the chicken, we need crushed ginger, garlic, and some black pepper.
Here I have taken 3 cloves of garlic and a medium-sized piece of ginger. Next, I also added half a teaspoon of black pepper and ground these together.
Now we add this paste to the chicken. Squeeze it well and add the paste to the chicken. Next, don’t throw away the crushed ginger and garlic – keep them aside.
Add just 1 teaspoon of salt to this and mix the chicken well. When done this way, the watery taste in the chicken reduces significantly, and you can make the chicken taste better.
Now let’s cover this chicken and set it aside for about 10 minutes.
Next, I’ll put a small pan on the stove and heat it up a bit.
After it heats up, reduce the flame to very low. Then add 4 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon of raw coriander powder. We’ll fry these slowly. Don’t increase the flame here – keep it very low. Don’t let the chilies burn – we need to fry this slowly.
(I’m giving quantities suitable for 1 kg of chicken.)
We do this to give the chicken a nice color. Now let’s take these out.
Again, I’ll put a pot on the stove. After the pot heats up a bit, add oil to it.
After the oil heats up, I’ll add a medium-sized onion cut into small pieces and some curry leaves. We only add onions and curry leaves to the oil. Let’s slowly sauté these onions and curry leaves.
Now you can reduce the flame to very low and add 4 tablespoons of roasted coriander powder. Now add the chili powder mixture we fried earlier. Add that too and mix everything well with the oil.
After mixing well, let’s add the seasoned chicken to this. Add the chicken and mix everything well so that the chicken is well coated.
Now after mixing well, I’ll add the ginger and garlic paste we extracted earlier. Next, add a small tomato cut lengthwise, 2 pieces of goraka (medium size), cinnamon stick, and lemongrass. Cut the lemongrass into small pieces and add.
Add a green chili, a piece of turmeric, 2 cardamom pods, and 2 cloves.
Most of the time, many people add these to the oil, but when added to oil, the chicken curry doesn’t have a good aroma. Try adding them this way and see – the chicken curry will be very aromatic.
There’s one more thing I should mention – I use homemade coriander powder to make this chicken curry. Now you can add water to the extent you want the chicken curry to be gravy-like and to your preferred consistency.
I added 2 cups of water. Since we already added salt earlier, we should check the salt only after the chicken curry is well cooked.
Now let’s cover with a lid and cook the chicken curry well.
So, only after the chicken curry is well cooked this way should we add pepper powder. I add 1 tablespoon of pepper. You can add pepper according to your taste preference.
This chicken curry is very aromatic and delicious. You can make chicken curry very easily and quickly this way. Try making a chicken curry just like this and let us know how it tastes.
