Chicken Methi curry

Back after a long time....was kinda busy with the open houses in school...but between the hectic schedule yesterday my sis in law Shiehana gave me this simple chicken curry than she made to taste and i actually liked it..
Infact I should admit that many of my cooking skills I have learnt from her, so kind of she is been my mentor for cooking...
Anywayz this dish was simple, easy, hassle free and the best part is it was another beautiful way to have methi...which usually I gulp while eating just the veggie(lol)
And I always love to have easy dishes for everyday use, as being a working woman you get hardly an hour or so to spend in the kitchen...So here a twist to the usual curries



Ingredients:
1 chicken cut into pieces for curry
2 tbsp Gnger Garlic paste
1 cup Curds
Juice of 1/2 lime
Whole spices(Cinnamon, Cardamom, Cloves, Pepper)
1-2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp dania powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1-2 tsp Red chilli powder
Turmeric
3-4 onions
1-2 tomatoes
2 chillies
1/2 bunch methi, washed and chopped fine
glass of water
Salt
oil


  1. Wash chicken and apply salt, ginger garlic paste and lime and keep aside for little while
  2. Chop onions, tomatoes, chillies finely
  3. In a vessel, heat oil
  4. Add the whole spices and let it crackle
  5. Add onions, chillies and tomatoes. Let it cook till onion looses its colour
  6. Add all the powders and let it cook
  7. Add the cup of curd, marinated chicken and the chopped methi
  8. Add water(how runny you want, she made it runny because it went well with hot rice)
  9. Add a pinch of salt(do not add much, cos' the chicken already has some)
  10. if you feel its too tangy (you can add sugar a pinch: Savvy's tip)
  11. Bring to a boil.
  12. You can even fry a potato and cut slices like chips and use it as a garnish
  13. Serve Hot with rice

I prefer adding turmeric to all my foods because its has many healing properties and is good for a variety of diseases....
