INGREDIENTS

1kg chicken cut into cubes1 onion chopped2 tomatoes liquidised 1 teaspoon whole jeera2/3 green chillies slit 5 tablespoon ghee (Clarified butter)3 tablespoon oil1 teaspoon salt (or salt to taste)1 teaspoon arad (Turmeric) (tumeric)1 teaspoon dhania (coriander) jeera1 teaspoon rough chillies2 teaspoon kashmiri chilly powder1 teaspoon (heaped) ginger garlic½ teaspoon red chilli paste (omit if you don’t like it spicy)2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups frozen mixed veggies
3 to 4 potatoes quartered and fried
3 cups rice

METHOD

In a pot, put the ghee (Clarified butter), oil, jeera seeds, chillies and chopped onions. Put all the spices on the chicken. Once the onions are golden brown, put the chicken in. Close the lid and let the flavours infuse. When the lid is hot, open and mix the chicken.
Wash the rice and boil with salt and arad (Turmeric). Once the rice is done, strain the excess water out and leave aside.
When the chicken is halfway done, add the liquidised tomatoes, veggies and fried potatoes.
Let this cook until all the water is finished so you will be left with a wet curry but no excess water and no excess gravy but do not burn out completely (hope this makes sense 😬) - you don’t want soggy akni.
Mix the rice into the curry and let it steam on low for an hour and a half or so or until done.
Serve with papad, dhai, salads, atchar. 😋
