First off, let me clarify mujhe bari basic si cooking aati hai okay. My food is mostly calorie laden comfort food, isliye please apni shikayatein na sunayen mujhe. Na to snobby (healthy) khana banana ata hai, na pasand hai. Sorry not sorry for the bad dhaba type photo.

Ingredients

Marination

Chicken ½ kg
Yogurt 2-4 tbsp
Salt ½ tsp
Red Chili Powder 1 tsp
Cumin Powder 1 tsp
Coriander Powder ½ tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste 2 tbsp
Turmeric ½ tsp
Lemon Juice Of 1 lemon

Gravy

Onion 1 (medium, finely chopped)
Garlic 2 cloves (minced)
Butter 2 tbsp
Cumin Powder ½ tsp
Coriander Powder ½ tsp
Ginger Powder 1 tsp
Tomato Paste 2-4 tbsp
Cream 2-4 tbsp
Coal 1 piece
Green Chillies For garnish (chopped)

Method

Marinade chicken in the spices listed above for at least 1 hour. The more you marinade, the better the flavor so just leave it and chill.

Once that's done, add some oil in a deep nonstick pan and fry the chicken until it starts to turn white from pink. Take out and set aside.

In the same pan, melt the butter and fry the onions until translucent. Add the garlic and spices. Fry for a couple minutes and add the chicken.

On a separate burner, start lighting up your coal because it'll take a while to reach smoking temperature.

One the chicken has fried in the masala for about 5-7 mins, add the tomato paste (the canned tomato paste is what I'm referring to here) and if the masala looks too dry, add some water. About half a cup to a full cup should be more than enough.

Keep the flame on medium high and cook until the water has dried up and the oil starts separating from the gravy. Turn the flame to low and add the cream. Mix well.

If your coal is done, take a piece of foil/old bread/roti and place in the middle of the pan. Put the coal on top, and add a few drops of oil or ghee. It'll release smoke IMMEDIATELY so put the lid on asap.

After 5 mins, turn the burner off under the chicken. Garnish with green chillies and serve with boiled rice or naan, whichever you prefer.

Mango Chaat

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this. I think I'm missing an important piece in my brain/nervous system so pls. Stop with the judgy. That random HOW-DARE-YOU-EVEN-EXIST-YOU-HEATHEN tidbit aside, everyone else I know is insaaaaaane about mangoes. Thought I'd try this on poor innocent guests and the family loved it too.
