Easy Jeera Chicken Recipe





Posted by: Puja  :  Category: Yogi Friendly Recipes

I don’t eat meat, but made this for my fiancé the other night and he said it was delicious! It was quick and easy and I served it with white basmati rice (cooked with peas).

Ingredients:

2 organic chicken breasts cut up into cubes

2 green chillies, finely chopped

1 medium onion, grated

1 teaspoon grated garlic

4 teaspoons grated ginger

½ teaspoon garam masala

½ tablespoon cumin seeds

½ teaspoon cumin powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ cup hot water

2 tablespoons oil

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

chopped coriander leaves for garnish

Directions:

Add oil to a deep frying pan on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add the green chillies and grated onion. Sauté until the onion turns golden brown. Add the chicken pieces in and lightly stir until the chicken becomes a light brown. Then add the cumin powder, pepper, lemon juice, garam masala, ginger, garlic, chili powder and salt to taste. Pour in the hot water, (gradually-you may not need all of it) and mix. Be sure to blend the spices well. Cover, simmer on low heat and cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is done. The gravy should be thick and the chicken should remain soft. Remove from flame and garnish with cumin powder, black pepper and coriander leaves. Let it sit, covered, for a few minutes before serving to let the flavor settle. :)

Serves: 2-3 people
