Ok Malika here you go :
Its called **BBQ chicken … **
Just take about 500g chicken … ( it can be more than that no issues at all )
now in a blender add all of the following:
2 chopped onions
one teaspoon garlic paste or four cloves of garlic
One teaspoon ginger paste or an inch of fresh ginger
One and a half teaspoon salt
One teaspoon red chilli powder
one teaspoon garam masala
4-5 green chillies
and half cup water .
Now blend this into a very fine mixture … and pour it on the chicken … Leave it to marinate in the fridge for an hour or two.
Then add half cup of fresh single cream ( you can easily get that from the market , usually they are in the same aisle as cheese and milk ) into the chicken …
Now heat a pan .. put in about half cup oil .. and let it become heated … it will take about a minute .. then add the chicken mixture into the oil … let it be on high heat for five minutes … stand next to it and keep stirring.
After five minutes reduce the fire to the minimum , cover the pot and let it be .. stir it only after every 15 minutes … it needs to cook for 40 minutes …
After 40 minutes you will notice , oil coming on top and the chicken cooked ( just check with a fork. the chicken should be really soft ) … now start heating a piece of coal on a separate hob..
Just use a tong to hold the piece of coal and hold it over your hob fire for a good 15 minutes … then carefully place a cup in the center of the chicken salan … put this coal in the cup and quickly pour two tablespoons oil on the coal. then cover the pot asap .
now put off the flame … and let it remain for a good half hour .. dont uncover the pot during this time. The coal steam will get mixed in the salan …
Finally remove the cup and serve the chicken BBQ with rice /naan ..
Now incase there is an emergency , like the salan sticks ( which it wont ) then add no more then quarter of a cup of water … but usually no water is used in this dish …
Princess , try this recipe , its really really easy and very tasty … once you have made this one , then we will make chicken the karahi way … but for now try this recipe .. if you dont have a certain ingredient please tell me before hand …
