    Goa Chicken Curry
     

    Goan Chicken Curry

    This dish is a typical Goa Chicken Curry. Tender chickens is cooked in a spicy tangy spice paste. While frying onions and tomatoes. Please make sure that the tomatoes gets mushy and completely disintegrated. This what gives the lovely saucy curry. I served this dish with Aromatic Rice pilaf.

    Ingredients for Goan Spice Mix

    • Ginger-1 tbsp minced
    • Garlic-8 large cloves
    • Cinnamon / Pattai - 1 inch piece
    • Coriander seeds /Malli - 2 tbsp
    • Cumin seeds / Jeera -2 tsp
    • Dry red chilli-4 (I used 1 ½ tbsp of red chilli paste)
    • Cloves / Krambu - 4 
    • Turmeric powder-1 tsp
    • Pepper-1 tsp
    • Tamarind - 1 small lime size (I used 1 tbsp of store bought tamarind paste)
    • Salt -1 tsp
    • Sugar-1 tsp

    How to Make Goan Chicken Curry

    1. Make a fine paste of all the goan spices by adding some water.
    2. Heat oil in a kadai and throw in the onions. Cook till golden brown.
    3. Then add the spice paste and cook till oil separates.
    4. Add in tomatoes and cook till mushy.
    5. Throw in the chicken pieces and cook till all sides are well seared.
    6. Pour in ½ cup of water and bring that to boil.
    7. Cover and simmer for 15-20 min or until the chicken is cooked.
    8. Pour in some vinegar and finish the dish.
    9. Serve hot with rice.

      Very flavorful gravy, I'm sure it'll work well with paneer or tofu.
