Ingredients
- 1 pcs whole chicken cut into small pieces
- 1.5 tbsp Garlic paste
- 1.5 tbsp Ginger paste
- 3 tbsp Mustard seeds
- 4-5 pcs Green chili
- 2 tsp Turmeric powder
- ½ tsp Red chili powder
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- ¼ cup Warm water
- ½ cup Mustard oil
- Coriander Leaves
Instructions
- Wash and clean chicken pieces.
- Soak mustard seeds (keep ¼ tsp of each) and chilis in ¼ cup warm water for 15 mins. and blend into a smooth paste without adding water. Don’t grind more than three times as mustard seeds tend to get bitter in taste in case of over-grinding.
- Add turmeric & chili powder with salt and 2 tbsp of mustard oil into the mustard paste and mix well.
- Marinate the chicken with this mustard mixture, cover, and leave it to rest for 30 mins.
- Take a deep-bottomed large pan and heat the remaining mustard oil. When the oil is smoking hot, switch off the flame and add reserved mustard seeds and one slightly slitted green chili.
- Turn the flame on and add marinated chicken pieces one by one into the pan. Shake off the marinade from each chicken piece before adding it to the pan. Reserve the marinade that will be needed later.
- Fry chicken pieces on medium flame till chicken turns golden brown in color from both sides. Flip chicken pieces a couple of times to even cook on both sides. It will take 8-10 mins.
- Once the chicken is browned add reserved marinade to the pan and cook on high flame for 3-5 mins or until oil floats on top.
- Now add coconut milk over chicken and mix well. Once bubbles begin forming, cover the pan and allow to cook for 10 mins on simmer.
- After 10 mins check if the chicken is done; if not cook for another 5-7 mins. Add sugar and adjust the seasoning at this point.
- Continue cooking on high flame until curry reaches personal preference. I cook it further until the oil floats back on top.
- Switch off the flame, add more green chili, and cover and stand by for another 10 mins.
- Garnish it with coriander leaves.
- Serve hot Shorshe Murgi with steamed rice. Enjoy!
