Malvani Chicken Curry (Maharashtrian Kombi Masala) - made on 28th January 2012

What did I use:

8 medium sized chicken pcs.

1 coconut grated

4 onions chopped

1 tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder & 2 tsp spice mix (garam Masala)

8 green chili chopped

2 tbs ginger and garlic

3 tbs Oil

Salt to taste

How did I cook:

Grind half of the green chilies to a paste and mix it well with the ginger and garlic pastes. Make cuts on the chicken pieces, rub this mixture on to them well and marinate for about an hour at least.
Roast coconut shavings in a little hot oil till light brown. Cool and grind along with half the onions to a paste.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and saute the onions on medium level for about 2 minutes or till they are light brown in color.

Add the remaining chopped green chilies, spice powders and fry for a few seconds. Add the marinated chicken pieces and fry on medium level for about 3 minutes or till they are lightly browned.
