Country Style Chicken Curry (Odisha Special)
Advertisement
Country chicken has a texture that mimics mutton and also take quite longer to cook as compared to farmed 'broiler' chicken. So, it's preparation is similar to that of a mutton curry. In Odisha, it is pan cooked for a long time till the chicken gives up some juice and takes on a shiny texture.

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 tablespoon garlic paste coarse
- 1 1/2 tablespoon ginger coarsely chopped

Instructions
- Wash the chicken pieces and drain away all the water. Add salt, turmeric and 1 tsp mustard oil. Mix well and keep aside.
- Cut the onions into medium sized pieces. Crush lightly using a mortar and pestle. Keep aside. Also crush the ginger and garlic in the same way but just a little more fine. Cut the potatoes into big chunks.
- Heat the oil in a pressure cooker. Add the potatoes and fry till golden brown. Remove and keep aside.
- Add the red chilis followed by the cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon sticks to the hot oil. Fry till they turn fragrant.
- Add the onions, ginger and garlic. Fry them on low flame till they turn quite red in color. (This is a sign that the onions have started turning sweet due to the caramelization process)
- Next add the chicken pieces. Fry them till they stop oozing water. You do not have to stir continuously.
- Keep the lid on the cooker without completely closing it. Stir once every few minutes. This process takes a long time so keep patience.
- Once you see that the chicken pieces start leaving oil ( a sure sign that the water had dried up ) and take on a shiny coat, add 1 1/2 - 2 cups of boiling water along with the fried potato pieces.
- Adjust salt. Close the lid and cook for 1-2 whistles. Remove from flame.
- Allow steam to escape before opening lid. Check if the chicken is done. Else add another half cup water and cook for another 1 whistle or two.
- Serve hot with rice/rotis.
Notes
- While it is advisable to make this curry with mustard oil, you can substitute it with rice bran or sunflower oil !
