Chicken 65 - Stove-top/Pan Roasted
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
I got this Chicken 65 recipe from my mom. This is recipe calls for using Pressure-cooker first, then Pan roast the chicken. Since the chicken is already partially cooked in pressure-cooker, this method not only saves time also require less oil. One thing to watch out is not to over cook in pressure-cook, one pressure realize is sufficient for farm grown chicken as they tend to very tender. There are other methods of preparing Chicken 65 as well -Airfried, deep fried, oven c etc. This recipe is more on moist side and works best as a side-dish.
Ingredients:
- 2 lb - Chicken (breast pieces is better)
- 1 tsp - Turmeric/haldi powder
- 1 cup - curds
- 2 big - Onion cut
- Salt - as per taste
- Oil
Masala:
- 6 to 7 - Red Chilies (according to the taste)
- 1 tsp - Funnel seeds
- 1 tsp - Cumin seeds
- ½ tsp - Fenugreek | Methi seeds
- 2 tbsp - Coriander seeds
- 1 tsp - Black Pepper
- 2 inch - Cinnamon piece
- 3 - Cloves
- 1 tbsp - Garlic paste
- 1 tbsp - Ginger paste
- 1 tbsp - Tamarind pulp
- Red food color - Optional
For Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp - Ghee or oil
- 3 stems - Curry leaves
- 5 - Green chilies
- 4 - garlic cloves
- 10 - cashew-nuts (optional)
For Garnishing:
- Fresh Coriander leaves
- Lemon wedges
- Onion - 1 small - cut into thin long pieces
- Clean and cut chicken into 1 to 2 inch pieces. Squeeze out the extra water.
- Sprinkle salt and turmeric powder over the chicken.(optional: rub in some lemon juice or vinegar - help tenderize the chicken ). Mix it all and keep it aside to marinate for at-least 10 - 30 minutes
- Make masala ready:Roast all the masala dry ingredients with bit of ghee/oil on a tawa/griddle.
- Grind all the masala ingredients in a blender(mixie) to a fine paste along with ginger/garlic paste and tamarind pulp.
- Place pressure cooker on medium heat, add oil or ghee. Once it is hot, add onion and cook until translucent.
- Add ground masala, roast for 2 minutes.
- Add marinated chicken and stir with masala.
- Add curd and pressure-cook Chicken pieces with masala and curds - for one whistle. If possible, try to release pressure after a minute or two. If left, the chicken will get too tender and fall apart when trying to roast it.
- Once pressure is released, transfer the chicken and masala on to a thick bottom tawa/griddle (preferably non-stick). Since I use pressure-pan, I continue cooking in the same pan and roast the chicken.
- Let it cook on medium high (covered if needed) until liquid is observed.
- Add a spoon of ghee or oil and shallow fry/roast the chicken in the same tawa by gently turning the chicken pieces around. Note: Do not disturb the chicken too much, the pieces will break apart.
- Once done, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to serving tray.
- In another seasoning pan, heat oil or ghee. Roast curry leaves, sliced garlic and lengthwise slit green chilies. pour over prepared Chicken 65.
- Garnish with coriander leaves, cut onion and lemon wedges.
