Chicken Tomato Curry Recipe / Chicken in Tomato Gravy

Preparation Time -15 mints

Serves – 3

Ingredients:

• Chicken – 500 gms, washed and cut into pieces (I used
• boneless skinless chicken)
• Onion -2 medium, finely chopped
• Tomato -2 big, blend in a mixer with little water and
• strain
• Red chilly powder – ½ to 1 tbsp (Adjust to suit your
• spice level)
• All purpose flour / maida – 2 tsp
• Marinate chicken pieces with salt and all purpose
• flour for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1tbsp oil in a non stick pan and stir fry chicken
• pieces until light golden colour; drain and keep aside. (Since I try to reduce
• usage of oil I usually stir fry chicken in less oil. If you wish you can deep

fry the marinated chicken pieces).

Into the remaining oil in the same pan add half of the

chopped onion and fry until golden and keep along with fried chicken.

Add ginger and garlic paste in the pan and sauté well.

Add chilly powder, turmeric powder and sauté well.

Add fried chicken, fried onion, left over chopped

onion, tomato pulp and sugar; mix well and cook until the chicken pieces are

cooked thoroughly and the gravy thickens.

Add 1 tbsp of

butter, mix well and turn off the heat.

Serve hot with

Indian flat breads.

Notes:

You can

completely omit the addition of butter in the final stage.

I sometimes add ½ tsp cinnamon powder just before

turning off the heat and it enhances the flavor of the curry.
