I love Indian food, its spices, its aroma and its tastes, so delicious, so aromatic that I can not resist myself from loving it. Just like eating Indian food I love to cook them also. The authentic Indian foods which are full of taste and flavors. I recently cooked methi chicken which was very yummy and the aroma was enough to blow anyone's tongue ;).
It is not a tough recipe rather a very easy one. You need few very regular easily available ingredients to cook this dish. Some basic things which are needed are, 700 gm with bone medium size chicken pieces, 3 big onions finely sliced, 1 tbsp garlic paste, half tbsp chilli paste, 1 medium sizes tomato chopped, 100 gm curd, 1 tsp coriander and cumin powder, 1 tbsp kasuri/ kasoori methi, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp food colour, salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp butter, 1 bay leaf, 4 tbsp refined oil (as per need).
In a bowl take garlic paste, chilli paste, curd, coriander and cumin powder, turmeric salt and mix. Add this paste to the chicken pieces and keep aside.
Put a pan on the gas oven, add some refined oil in it. Let it become hot, then add the bay leaf and the onions and keep frying until it becomes soft and golden. Then add the marinated chicken pieces in it with all the masala paste. Cook for 2 minutes in an open flame and then cover the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes in a low flame. After 10 minutes of cooking like this open the lid and check if it has enough water in it, if not then add some water along with the food colour and the kasoori methi, then close the lid.
Open the lid and add some sugar and some butter and cook in a open flame for few minutes unless it forms a thick gravy. Once it is cooked it will start secreting oils and the aroma of kasoori methi will be there.
Turn off the flame and add the remaining butter on top of it and serve hot with plain roti, parantha, naan, rice, polao etc.
