Re: Oil-less Chicken Curry
Well I made oil less curry today. It looked beautiful but when I tried it, it tasted like diet curry :D It was okay for me but my dad today agreed to have chicken curry like after 4 months and I don't want him to say to chicken curry for another 4 months, so I decided to add 2 tbsps of cooked oil in it, bhoonafied/look cooked it on medium heat for 10 mins. After that it started tasting like regular curry but was quite light and delish!
I would say instead of making your family go oil-less, have them reduce the quantity of oil to 1 or 2 tbsp just for the glazing kind of purpose.
You need to post the pics so I can make a decision if I should go ahead with it or not . Btw what recipe you have tried ? The one that Sheyn have posted or something different ?
Re: Oil-less Chicken Curry
Half a cup does seem like a lot, but I don’t use more than that… probably more like anywhere between 1/4 to 1/3 of a small cup. Just enough oil to get the onions to brown (they don’t need to be drowned in oil). In the end, there isn’t much oil in the curry and I don’t need to stir from the bottom to get curry without oil.

Re: Oil-less Chicken Curry
i always make oil less chicken curry or any curry, i'm used to it i guess, i have a nonstick pan from ummm what was the brand name.....????thinking....thinking...i don't remember now but it's perfect in not burning the onions while browning them and they don't stick to the pan. the oil less chicken curry would be for me only and when someone comes over i pile on the ghee to enhance the taste.
