Chicken Tomato Curry Recipe / Chicken in Tomato Gravy

Preparation Time -15 mints

Cooking Time -30mints

Serves – 3

Ingredients:

Chicken – 500 gms, washed and cut into pieces (I used boneless skinless chicken)

Onion -2 medium, finely chopped

Ginger paste – 1tbsp

Garlic paste – 1tbsp

Tomato -2 big, blend in a mixer with little water and strain

Red chilly powder – ½ to 1 tbsp (Adjust to suit your spice level)

Turmeric powder – ½ tsp

Sugar-1 tsp

All purpose flour / maida – 2 tsp

Oil - 2 tbsp (or more)

Method:

• Marinate chicken pieces with salt and all purpose flour for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1tbsp oil in a non stick pan and stir fry chicken pieces until light golden colour; drain and keep aside. (Since I try to reduce usage of oil I usually stir fry chicken in less oil. If you wish you can deep fry the marinated chicken pieces).
• Into the remaining oil in the same pan add half of the chopped onion and fry until golden and keep along with fried chicken.
• Add ginger and garlic paste in the pan and sauté well. Add chilly powder, turmeric powder and sauté well.
• Add fried chicken, fried onion, left over chopped onion, tomato pulp and sugar; mix well and cook until the chicken pieces are cooked thoroughly and the gravy thickens.
• Add 1 tbsp of butter, mix well and turn off the heat.
• Serve hot with Indian flat breads.

Notes:

• You can completely omit the addition of butter in the final stage.
• I sometimes add ½ tsp cinnamon powder just before turning off the heat and it enhances the flavor of the curry.
