Chicken Mushroom Fiesta

Ingredients:

Phase 1 (Chicken)

Chicken 1 whole chicken(cut into medium sized pieces)

Curd 200gms

Chilly powder 1 tsp

Pepper powder 2 tsp

Turmeric powder ½ tsp

Jeera Powder ¼ tsp

Garam Masala 1 tsp

Soy Sauce 2 tsp

Coriander Leaves 4 prigs

Cashew nuts 8

Whole pepper 10

Phase 2 (Vegetables)

Onions 2 (Sliced into thin pieces)

Button Mushroom 200gms (Sliced horizontally)

Green Peas 50gms (boiled)

Green Chillies 4(Split horizontally)
Pepper powder 2 Tsp

Ginger A ½ inch piece (Finely chopped)

Garlic 4(Finely Chopped)

Method (Phase 1):

Initially mix the ingredients marked in red and marinate for 3-4 hours. Once done, take 2 prigs of coriander, the whole pepper, the cashew nuts and a little water and grind it to a paste. Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the paste for a minute. To this add the marinated chicken and cook it on a medium flame for around half an hour and then in max flame for another ten minutes to thicken the gravy. Add the last two prigs of coriander finely chopped into the gravy. This will result in a nice green color as shown in the image.

Method (Phase 2):

Heat some oil and add the ginger, garlic, chilly and cook for 30 seconds. Add the onions and cook until it turns a golden brown. To this, add the mushroom pieces, cooked peas and cook on high flame WITHOUT closing it with a lid until the mushroom is cooked and is dry. Keep this aside. This will look as shown in the image.

NOTE: The cooking part after the marinated chicken is ready, should proceed in parallel for both phases.

Once the chicken gravy has thickened, add the mushroom and pea mixture from phase2 into phase1 to complete the experience.
