Ginger Chicken

With the days getting shorter and the nights getting cozier and long, I cant help but miss the sunlight sneaking into my bedroom through the curtained window. Now I am waking up while it is still dark much before the sun has risen which is after 6 a.m. unlike what it was during the 6-month long summer days.

A big welcome to the winter season  ... In this part of the world, it is a  season of holidays and festivities, a season of picnics and barbeques, a season of joys and traditions, a season of get-togethers, fan-fares and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. The blue winter sky is usually studded with scattered clouds and the rugged rocky mountains are brightly lit with the warm and gloomy sunlight. The evenings are certainly getting chilly but the outdoors are inviting with mild breeze and steady temperatures.

Oman is a fine example for an ideal winter destination to sneak out and it has all the staples to make your winter holiday worth the cash you invest in. With awesome hotels to choose from and splendid beaches, traditional villages and blissful resorts, appealing temperatures and  lovely settings, Oman should be a perfect pick for winter holiday destinations. And Omani food is easily loved by everyone because of the medley of spices that go into it. Aromatic and lip-smacking !!!

I am sharing the ginger chicken recipe today. Not the Chinese version. This is very much the Indian style. The result is a gravy dish which can easily be mopped with breads and rice.

Now onto the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
 
Marinade:
 
500 gms Chicken
1 tsp Chilli powder
2 tsp Ginger garlic paste

Grind to a paste:
 
Ginger 50 gms
Garlic 25 gms
Green Chillies 2

For the gravy:

2 Tomatoes
5-6 Cashew
2 onions Onion
2 tbsp Dry Coconut Powder or coconut paste
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Coriander powder


HOW TO MAKE:

1) Marinate chicken in the marinade ingredients and half cook them until water gets evaporated. You can fry or grill them also.

2)  Fry onions till it turns brown. Make a paste of these along with other ingredients listed under "For the gravy".

3) Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a pan and add first ground paste. Saute for a few seconds and then add the gravy paste. Cook until the Oil comes up and the gravy leaves the sides of the pan.

4) Add chicken to this. Cook till chicken is cooked well. You can add water if you need and maintain the consistency as per your choice.

5) Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
