Methi Chicken (Chicken with Fenugreek Leaves)

Life became super busy, busy for nothing. Trying my best to bring my sensitivity, energy and taste back to normal during my hectic schedule. This recipe is simple chicken with big bunch of fenugreek leaves (Methi Leaves). Fenugreek leaves are one of my favorite veggies, I simply love the health benefits , taste and aroma of the leaves. Cooking chicken is really interesting to me. The more I experiment, the more flavorful Chicken I make. The style in cooking chicken make the difference in its taste.  



Preparation Method: Simple, Easy

Preparation Time: 30  mins
Ingredients: Chicken – 2 lbs (with bone and skin removed)
Onion – 1 medium (Peel, cut into small pieces)
Ginger Garlic paste – 1 spoon
coriander powder – 2 spoons
Salt – as per taste
Turmeric – ½ spoon
Red Chilli powder – 1 spoon (or as per taste)
Oil – 4 spoons
Tomato – 1 (Wash, Chop into small cubes)
Methi Leaves – 1 big bunch (Separate the leaves and wash in cold water)


Preparation Method: Apply Salt and Turmeric to chicken and wash in cold water. Take oil in a pan, heat the oil. Add chopped onion to the oil, fry till onions get light golden brown. Add ginger garlic paste, fry for a min. Add chicken, add Coriander Powder, Turmeric, Salt, Red Chilli powder to chicken and mix well. Cook on medium flame for 10 mins by covering the lid. Add Methi leaves to chicken. Mix well, cook for 5-10 mins till the leaves get browned. Add chopped tomato, add water if required. Cover the lid, Let the mix simmer for 10-15 mins on medium flame till it gets thickened. Stir occasionally. The more chicken simmers in the gravy, the more it taste better. Switch off the flame, and enjoy the curry with hot rice or roti.
