Fatafat Desi Chicken for the Holiday Weekend

This one is for all you working ladies, college students, or anyone else who doesn't like spending hours in the kitchen in the weekend.

 Holidays are for spending time with the family and that's why I am sharing this recipe which is very easy and less time consuming.

Krishna's Tip of the Day:- In case you have a lot of people coming over, and you haven't got enough chicken for everyone,  potatoes ( and peas too )  in the gravy comes to the rescue to increase the volume.

Ingredients:-

• Chicken 1/2 Kg
• 4 medium sized potatoes
• 2 big Onions
• 6-7 Garlic Cloves
• 1 tbsp Ginger paste
• 4-5 Green Chillies ( add more if you like it hotter)
• 2 Big Tomatoes
• Garam Masala Powder or Chicken Masala ( Taste-wise)
• Salt to Taste
• 2tbsp Mustard Oil 

Process:-

Slice the onions, grind the garlic & ginger into a paste, and dice the tomatoes into 4 equal halves. 

( You can always use a ready made ginger-garlic paste, but I prefer the old way as the aroma is much better, ready made paste has vinegar added in it which diminishes the aroma slightly) 

Marination:- Add all the ingredients except the garam masala into a mixing bowl and mix well. Cover the bowl up, and leave it aside for 10-15 minutes.

Heat a non stick cooking pan on the burner, pour in the marinate once the pan is hot, and turn the burner into a medium to low heat. Cover up the pan, and leave it on for 10 minutes or until the chicken starts emitting water (do not add extra water to aid the chicken to boil );  remove the lid once the chicken is boiled to let the excess water dry. Fry the chicken till it starts emitting oil, and the chicken has a beautiful brown colour on it. If you want gravy, you can add warm water now and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, and turn off the flame.

Garnish the chicken with fresh Coriander leaves.

Your fatafat Desi chicken is ready to be served now with Steaming rice, hot phulkas or paranthas
