Ginger Chicken
The gingery spicy warmth of this dish is fantastic, this is definitely one of my fave chicken dishes! 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 chicken skinless, cut into 8-10 pieces
- 1/2 cup julienned ginger
- 5 fresh tomatoes chopped
- 1 tsp. tomato paste/puree
- 3 green chillies chopped
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 2 tsp. roasted and crushed cumin
- 1/2 tsp. coriander powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp. red chilli powder
- 1 tsp. red chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp. garlic paste
- 1/4 cup plain yoghurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil drain the excess after cooking
- chopped coriander for garnishing
Instructions
- Heat oil, add the ginger (reserve a few slivers of ginger for garnishing), 1 green chili chopped, and garlic paste. Once the aroma is released, add the chopped tomatoes and the cumin, turmeric and coriander powders. Cook on medium heat whilst stirring until all the excess moisture from the tomatoes is gone and the oil gets released. Now add the chicken pieces and sprinkle some salt. Turn the heat up on medium-high and fry the chicken until color begins to change..Now sprinkle the red chili powder and chili flakes. Add the tomato paste. Give it a stir and reduce the heat to medium. Whisk the yoghurt and milk together, then add them into the pan. Bring to a simmer, adjust salt, cover the pan and set the heat on low. Let the chicken boil gently until tender. For extra gravy you can add some warm water.Finally add the remaining chopped chili and garnish with coriander and some more ginger strips.Serve!! 🙂
finger crossed going to try this dish today 🙂
PLS TELL ME HOW TO MAKE TOMATO PASTE AT HOME FAUZIA….
I buy mine ready made. You can peel and grind tomatoes then cook them with a pinch of salt and sugar until all the water is gone. Then use accordingly.
Can this be made with boneless chicken breast as well?
Yes you can use boneless cubes.
gonna try it tonight 🙂
Lovely recipe ,but one question ..when i added the mixture of yoghurt and milk to the gravy it curdled making it look really bad..and i also made sure while adding it that the flame was slow and i poured in a little at a time ..so pls tell me what went wrong?? Thanks
Did you whip the yoghurt to make sure it was very smooth before adding it to the mixture?
Yes I whipped very well and also mixed it well with milk
Very strange, try again maybe it will work out better. Add more of the curry in a separate bowl, mix the cream in until completely smooth then turn it back into the pan. Hopefully that will work. Make sure the milk/cream are NOT cold and the curry is not too hot.
Approx. 1kg of chicken for above recipe??
Yes.
A.a.n thumbs up 4 ur great work!plz wat is julienned ginger?is it the same we buy at d mkt?
W/Salaam, thank you. To julienne is a description on how to chop something. It means chopping into thin strips. 🙂

You can double all the rest of the ingredients (aside from the chicken) and that will give you double the gravy. Thanks for the awesome feedback!! 🙂
I made this tonight, it was great, just took a while for the gravy to reduce though! great dish..

Hi fauzia. I wanted to make this dish for 7-8 people. Should I double all the ingredients except the chicken? Would that effect the taste? Please reply!
This recipe will suffice 4-5
This recipe will suffice 4-5 people so you will need to make one and a half of the recipe. And if you increase on the chicken you need to increase on the rest of the ingredients too.

asak, when you say 5 tomatoes, is it large or medium sized ones. here in USA we get really big ones like the size of our palm. JazakAllahu Khair
