Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the vibrant green velvet paste. In a food processor or blender, combine the green peas, green chilies, fresh cilantro, ginger, garlic, and fresh coconut. Blend until smooth.

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds to release their aroma. This blooming of spices enhances their flavor.
  • Add the prepared green velvet paste to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Adding a little water helps prevent the paste from sticking and burning.
  • Next, add the sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir well to coat them evenly with the green paste.

  • Sprinkle in the garam masala and salt to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli and mushrooms are tender-crisp. Broccoli and mushrooms cook quickly, so avoid overcooking them.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken pieces. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and a nice sear.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
