Chicken Breast in Fried Onion Sauce




Source of Recipe


Philly Burbs


List of Ingredients




3 medium onions, peeled and chopped finely
2 teaspoons garlic-ginger paste (see note)
2 tablespoons chicken breast, cut into-2-inch pieces, washed and drained
1½ teaspoons coriander powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cumin powder
¼ teaspoon red chili powder
¼ teaspoon garam masala (see note)
½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½-inch piece of cinnamon stick
8 ounces tomato sauce (pureed, chopped or fresh tomatoes can be substituted)
Small bunch of fresh coriander leaves (also called cilantro), washed and chopped

Recipe



(1) On medium flame, heat the oil in a large pot. When hot, add the onions. Stir and fry onions until they are a deep, reddish-brown color. (It takes about 10 minutes to get the right color.) Add the ginger-garlic paste. Fry for about a minute until absorbed.

(2) Turn heat to high setting and add the chicken. Cook for a couple of minutes on one side, then turn over and cook on the other side for about a minute.

Turn heat back to medium, and then add all the spices, stirring for a minute to blend in. Add tomato sauce and stir until blended thoroughly.

Add ¼ cup of water to make a sauce consistency. Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked through. (Stir twice to make sure chicken is not sticking to bottom.) Add more water if necessary.

(3) Remove cinnamon stick. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Note: Ginger-garlic paste can be purchased in jars in Indian food stores. You can also make it at home by processing equal amounts of peeled garlic and ginger in a food processor. Store any extra paste in the refrigerator. Garam masala is a blend of spices often used in Indian cooking. It’s available in Indian markets and in many supermarkets.
