Ingredients-
Chicken 1 kg
Chickpeas (boiled) 1 cup (you can use tin ones, I usually use 2 tins but you can use 1 tin, depends on your choice and taste)
Ginger & Garlic paste – 2tbsp
Salt – as per taste
Onions – 2 finely sliced
Tomatoes – 3 chopped
Black pepper powder – 1 tbsp (freshly ground would taste great)
Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1 tsp
Shan Chana masala – 1 1/2 tsp
Oil – 4 tbsp
Green chillies – 3–4 (depends how spicy you want)
Method
In a pot, heat the oil and fry the onions till golden. Add g/g paste and black pepper and sauté for a minute or two. Then add tomatoes and cook until tender.
Then take out the onion and tomato mixture and grind it to form a paste.
Add it back to the pan. Then add salt, coriander powder, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chana masala and chicken. Stir well until oil separates. Add bit of water if needed.
Cook for good 10 minutes for a good bhunayee. (Oil separates)
Now add half of the green chilli along with chickpeas. Mix well! Then add 2 cups of water and cook on low heat.
Garnish with remaining green chillies and fresh coriander.
Enjoy 🙂
