Kalonji Chicken - Vij's image

I love every recipe from Vij's. I have not tried this one yet but it looked delicious. I reduced the amount of ghee from 5tbsp to 2 1/2. He also uses chicken thighs however, we prefer chicken breats.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 tablespoons ghee
2 tablespoons kalonji
1 tablespoon cumin seed
3 large onions, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
6 plum tomatoes, cut up and pureed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or large deep skillet over medium heat. Add kalonji seeds and when they begin to sizzle add cumin seeds and allow both to sizzle for 45 seconds. (Don't let the cumin burn.).
  • Reduce heat and add onions. Saute for 10 minutes or until golden. Add garlic. Cook until garlic is golden, then add ginger, tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well. Add salt, turmeric, cayenne and garam masala. Cook until oil separates from sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken pieces and cook, uncovered, on medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the chicken or the sauce is burning, add 1/2 cup/125mL water. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir in cilantro.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. The sauce was still good, though.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still good. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

This kalonji chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the smokiness from the charred kalonji seeds. I will definitely be making this again.
