Categories Chicken Dinner

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2-1/2 pound chicken parts (drumsticks and thighs and/or breast)
1 large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1-inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2-1/2 tablespoons blanched, slivered almonds
3/4 pound sweet red peppers, trimmed, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons salt
7 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

If chicken legs are whole, divide drumsticks from thighs with a sharp knife. Breasts should be cut into four parts. Skin all chicken pieces. Combine onion, ginger, garlic, almonds, peppers, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, and salt in the container of a food processor or blender. Blend, pushing down with a rubber spatula whenever you need to, until you have a paste. Put the oil in a large, wide, and preferably non-stick pan over medium-high flame. When hot, pour in paste. Stir and fry the paste for 10 - 12 minutes or until you can see the oil forming tiny bubbles around it. Put in the chicken, with the water, lemon juice, and pepper. Stir to mix and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer gently for 25 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Stir a few times during this cooking period.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 garlic, minced
peanut oil or vegetable oil
3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (4-5 ounces each)

Steps:

In a small bowl mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and garlic. Pour 1/2 cup (half the mixture) into a small plastic food storage zip bag. Add chicken and turn to coat; refrigerate and marinade 30 minutes.
To a skillet, add a tablespoon or two of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and brown on one side for about 2-3 minutes (it may smoke a little from the sweet marinade). Turn the chicken over and brown for 2 minutes longer. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and let it finish cooking for about 8 minutes.
Place remaining chili sauce and soy sauce mixture in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve over chicken.

Tips:

To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have a tandoor, you can cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Be sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the sauce. This will give it the best flavor.
If you like a spicier sauce, you can add more red chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken with rice, naan, or roti.

Conclusion:

Lal masale wali murgh is a delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
