Ingredients for a recipe with Boneless Chicken Breast
CHICKEN BREASTS. Use boneless chicken breasts and cut them into 1-inch strips. Boneless thigh pieces also work fine for this recipe but I don’t recommend using chicken on the bone.
DRY SPICES. Basic dry ingredients/spices go into this chicken recipe. Spices like Coriander powder, Cumin powder, Turmeric, Garam masala, Red chilli powder, and a little Kasuri methi render flavours needed for this dish.
ONION. One medium finely chopped onion adds volume to this delicious gravy apart from contributing to the taste.
MAWA & MILK. This adds creaminess to the recipe and keeps it moist and delicious. Just a tablespoon and half of Mawa, that is milk solids adds a rich texture to the recipe. You can give it a skip but I recommend including it in the recipe.
GINGER-GARLIC PASTE. Just a hint of ginger-garlic paste as we do not want to overwhelm the mild flavour of the gravy.
TOMATO PUREE. Blanch 2 to 3 large tomatoes and then peel off the skin. Blend them into a smooth paste to get approx. 1/2 a cup of tomato puree. Store-bought tomato puree is also fine.
BUTTER. Add a tablespoon of butter to give the chicken gravy a nice sheen and taste. I used Amul butter for this recipe but any butter is just as fine.
Recipe with Boneless Chicken Breast – How to make it
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4 Persons
STEP I
- Wash the Chicken Breasts and then cut them into 1-inch strips. Cutting the chicken into strips will ensure faster cooking. Drain the chicken into a colander and set them aside.
STEP-II
- Prepare a gravy mix with these ingredients and blend well to get a smooth paste –
- Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
- Coriander seed powder – 1.5 tsp
- Cumin powder – 1 tsp
- Garam Masala powder – 1/2 tsp
- Tomato Puree – 1/2 cup
- Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp
- Red Chilli powder – 1.5 tsp
- Mawa (milk solids) – 1.5 tbsp
- Milk – 1 cup or approx 200 ml
- Sugar – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Cashew nuts and melon seeds paste (1 tbsp each blended to a smooth paste with a little water)
STEP-III
- Heat a pan with 3 tbsp cooking oil and add a tsp of cumin seeds. Then add one medium onion chopped and fry until the onion is translucent.
- Now add in the chicken strips and fry for 2 minutes or until the chicken turns white in colour. Then add the gravy mixture that we made earlier. Mix well, cover with a lid and cook on low to medium heat till the chicken is tender. This will take you approx. 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the heat as well as the chicken.
- The gravy will slowly thicken by now. Add a tsp of Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) and a tablespoon of butter. Simmer for a minute and then switch off the heat.
