Instructions
Sauté Aromatics
- Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add green chilies, ginger paste, and garlic paste; sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Cook Chicken
- Stir in tomato puree, chicken pieces, salt, and all spice powders except garam masala. Mix well to coat the chicken. Add water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook until the chicken is almost cooked through (about 20-25 minutes).
Add Gongura & Finish
- Add the chopped gongura leaves, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in garam masala and chopped coriander leaves. Cover and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve
- Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Gongura Chicken:
- For a deeper flavor, lightly roast the cumin seeds before grinding them into powder.
- If using dried gongura leaves, soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes to soften them before adding to the curry.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your preferred spice level. Start with fewer and add more as needed.
- Don't overcook the gongura leaves; they tend to become mushy if cooked for too long. Adding them towards the end helps retain their vibrant color and flavor.
