Saucy Masala Chicken🌶️ - Fragrant, full of flavour and a nice kick - kinda been spamming this on the diet - YES WITH THAT AMOUNT OF BUTTER!! Ingredients: 1kg chicken 150g Butter 4 small onions 3 bullet chillies 4 tomatoes 15–20 curry leaves 5–6 cloves 1 small cinnamon stick 10–15 black peppercorns 2 tsp garlic paste Ground masala 2 tsp coriander powder 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder ½ tsp cumin powder 1 tsp extra hot chilli powder Pinch of garam masala Garnishes Handful fresh coriander Thinly sliced ginger Pinch of kasuri methi (too much & it’ll overpower the curry 👀) Method: 1️⃣ Heat butter/oil in a pan and add the whole spices. Cook for 1–2 mins until fragrant, then add curry leaves and bloom for 20–30 seconds. (You can pick the whole spices out towards the end) 2️⃣ Add onions and cook until light brown. Add tomatoes and fry the masala until the oil separates to the top 👀 (if it’s not separating… add a touch more oil). 3️⃣ Add the ground spices and keep frying the masala. Add a splash of water so it doesn’t burn. You want a deep dark reddish colour by the end (if you don’t fry the masala properly, you might as well boil chicken & dip it in ketchup 🤢). 4️⃣ Add the chicken and coat every piece in that masala. Fry for 5 mins then add water, place a lid on and cook low until tender. Reduce the masala once cooked if you don’t want it saucy. 5️⃣ Add garnishes at the end so everything stays fresh & fragrant 🌿 The curry leaves really elevate this dish. Definitely tastes better with bone-in chicken or boneless thighs… but the diet requires high-protein cuts🥲 #fyp #curry #highprotein - @suleimancooks
