Chicken Kurma

Chicken Kurma





Heat some oil and fry cinnamon (karuvaapattai) till it turns black. Add star anise (laungapoo) to the oil and once its roasted add cloves and cardamom. 

Immediately add sliced onions and curry leaves and continue frying. 

Add ginger-garlic paste next and give it a quick stir. 
Add chicken pieces and stir till coated nicely. Cover and let it cook in its own juices, in a slow flame. 

In 5-10 mins, add 2nd coconut milk.
Let chicken cook nicely.

Then add the following one after another - tomato, potato, red chilly, coriander leaves and more sliced onions. 
Bring to boil and then cover to continue cooking. 

When chicken and potatoes are half cooked, add some kurmapowder (Babas, if you can get). Add hot water at this stage if you want more curry. Stir nicely and continue cooking. Add salt to taste.

Add first coconut milk and bring to boil. Add ground almond (secret ingredient) at last, stir and switch off flame. The almond will make your kurma thick,creamy and tasty - just about 8-10 pcs for one chicken)
