SPRING ONION GRAVY CHICKEN

SPRING ONION GRAVY CHICKEN

Don't we all just adore these fresh spring onions?, I try to use them as a substitute for regular onions as much as I can, and with excellent results!.If however you do not have them at hand then use regular onions instead, both yield excellent results!This recipe is a very rustic home-style one which is very good with chapatis or rice-but I love it with a slice of crusty bread soaking up the gravy!!


Fresh chicken- 1
Spring onions-3-4
Tomato puree- 1/2 cup
Ginger and garlic paste- 1 tsp
Garam masala- 1 tsp
Pure desi ghee- 3 tbsp
Coriander leaves- a handful
Fresh cream- 1 tbsp.
Green cardamom-2-3
Salt and pepper to taste

Method-

Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan, add the washed chicken pieces and fry till they start turning crisp and golden,remove and keep aside(they will be however partially cooked).

In the same ghee add ginger and garlic paste and the sliced spring onions, fry till they turn pale, add the tomatoes and cook till it leaves sides of pan, transfer to a pressure cooker, add the chicken ,the garam masala and 1/2 cup hot water along with the salt, cardamom(crushed) and pepper,close lid give one rapid whistle and remove immediately , put under running water, transfer to a serving pan and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and some fresh cream if desired.
