DHANIYA CHICKEN by DIPANNITA

Here's what you will need for making Dhaniya Chicken: 

• Coriander leaves (dhaniya) - a bunch,

• Chicken (cut in to 2"x2" pieces) - 1 kg,

• Yoghurt (dahi) - 1 cup (150 gms) well beaten,

• Salt (to taste), 

• Sugar (to taste),

• Garlic paste - 3 Tbsp,

• Ginger paste - 2 Tbsp,

• Onion - half a large one,

• Green chillies - 2 to 3,

• Vegetable oil - 2 to 3 Tbsp,

• Turmeric powder - 1 tsp.

Method:

• Marinate the chicken with yoghurt, garlic paste and ginger paste and a pinch of turmeric (one should not be generous with turmeric because we want our chicken to be green). Keep it for ten minutes.

• Then paste the coriander, 2 de-seeded green chillies and half an onion in a mixer grinder (not much onion is required as that would spoil the smell of fresh corriander).

•  Heat oil in a pan. As the oil starts to heat add the marinated chicken first with all its marinade. Then after 5 mins. add the green paste. One can add more green chillies if she is too fond of heat.

• Add salt and sugar to taste.

• Cook for around 15 mins. in low/ medium heat for the chicken to become tender. 

And our DHANIYA CHICKEN is ready!!

Our sista's foray into the kitchen was late and rare, but it just grew from there. She likes to prepare simple healthy food that is easy to cook and good to eat, and her Dhaniya Chicken recipe is just that!  Dipannita is a resolved girl and believes in women power. She works for trade marketing of  premium tobacco at ITC. In her free time, she likes to read, write, travel, and paint, which she is very good at. With the winter already in your living room, and the abundance of beautiful green coriander around, it is the perfect time to make this dish. Chicken in a lip-smacking coriander curry!

Hope you enjoy making this dish, and do let us know how it was.
