Oven Roasted braised Curried Chicken


Oven roasted curried chicken is a dish which I made last week for dinner. First I thought of making my simple chicken curry, but then I dumped all the powders and sauces in the cooker, cooked till done and then baked, which turned out to be a hit in my house. This is a simple dish which can be prepared within less time. The process of cooking, baking and broiling look hectic, but once you start cooking, it will be in a flow.


Assemble all the ingredients in the pressure cooker and then bake them to perfection. A perfect curried dish which can be had along with rotis/ chapatis/ pulav. This will be a hit among the guests in any party. Adjust the spice level accordingly and kids will also love to eat this.


Slow braising of this dish yields to a soft, moist, tender chicken pieces to enjoy. First, the chicken pieces are cooked on high heat and then slowly oven roasted for some time till tender.
I like to have this with plenty of brown basmati rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Ingredients:

  1. Chicken- 2 lbs
  2. Onions- 2 nos
  3. Tomatoes- 2 nos
  4. Ginger and garlic Pase- 1 tbsp
  5. Red Chilli Powder- 1 Tsp
  6. Coriander Powder- 1 Tsp
  7. Cumin Powder- 1/2 tsp
  8. Turmeric Powder- 1/2 Tsp
  9. Tomato Sauce- 2 tbsp
  10. Soy Sauce- 1 tbsp
  11. Red Chilli Sauce- 1 tbsp
  12. Salt- as required
  13. Oil- 1 tbsp

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a cooker, add the chopped onions and saute till translucent. Add the ginger- garlic paste, fry for a minute, add the chopped tomatoes along with the masala powders. Stir for a minute on high flame.
  2. Add all the sauces along with required amount of salt. Add the cleaned and drained chicken, Stir well and pressure cook for 2 whistles. Switch off to cool.
  3. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the cooker cools down, empty the cooker in a cast iron pan, bake for about 10 minutes and then broil for about 8 minutes and a perfectly roasted dish will be ready to enjoy. Serve hot along with rotis, rice or anything of your choice.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
