Title :: Karahi Chicken
Author :: Yashodhara
Category :: Non Veg
Ingredients ::

• chicken about 1Kg, cut in to pieces (I took chicken breast)
  
• natural yogurt about 1/2 cup, stir & make a smoothy
  
• ginger paste about 2 teaspoons (I took fresh ginger finely chopped)
  
• red chilly powder 1 teaspoon
  
• green chilies 2 or 3, sliced finely
  
• black pepper, freshly ground about 3/4th. of a teaspoon
  
• tomatoes about ½ Kg, finely chopped not blended or pureed
  
• fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Description ::
This is a simple Punjabi chicken dish, the recipe was provided by jyotirmoy.

Put a wok on flame with ½ cup oil. To this add I teaspoon of salt. This will prevent chicken pieces from sticking to the bottom surface. Use a non-stick wok if you have one.
When the oil is hot add the chicken pieces. Fry the meat till it is golden coloured. Add the chopped tomatoes, red chilly powder & black pepper. Stir & let it cook on medium heat. The idea is to cook the meat by the juice of the tomatoes. When dry add the curd & green chilies. Stir well to mix the curd uniformly. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes more.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves & serve with roti or nan.

Many thanks for your compliment, Jyoti-Da. Oh, and I forgot: I also added some sliced onion and about a tablespoon of finely chopped garlic. Both are added shortly (3 min?) before the tomatoes and are fried with the chicken. Just be careful that the garlic does not get too hot, when it burns it gets very bitter. So you might want to add the onions a bit earlier than the garlic.

While sautéing it is in this order onions, ginger & then garlic

Thanks for "saving" me here. Yes, the ginger was not even mentioned by me in the preparation, sorry for that. Anyway, sounds like a fine kitchen mantra: onions, ginger, garlic   .
