Chicken Curry if you are in a hurry!



This is one dish where you don't have to marinade the chicken nor will it take you hours to choose and prepare the ingredients.

500gms boneless chicken diced in 3/4 inch pieces
2 medium yellow or white onions finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
3 tomatoes finely chopped
2 small potatoes, peeled and diced into large pieces
1/2 cup coriander leaves chopped finely for garnishing
1 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
4-5 tsp oil
1-2 tsp lemon juice
6-8 whole black peppercorns
Salt to taste

Method:

Take a pressure cooker and add oil, onions and tomatoes, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, chicken pieces (washed), potatoes, peppercorns and lemon juice all together and stir for a few minutes. Add about 1/4 cup of water. Place the lid and let it cook for 8-10 minutes or 1 full whistle on a medium flame. Do not remove the lid and keep the pressure cooker on the same hob till the contents are cooled. This is because after you switch the gas off, the chicken will continue to cook on the heat of the same hob. Now open the lid and start the gas on low flame. At this point if you want the consistency of your curry more thin, add a little water. Let it boil and then add the salt according to your taste. And finally you can garnish with coriander leaves. Your quick and easy chicken recipe is ready to serve.
