Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 1/4 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
1 1/2 cinnamon sticks (1-inch long)
6 cloves
3/8 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
3/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1 1/2 dried hot red chilies
3 cups fresh coconut, grated
1 1/2 ginger cubes, 1 inch cubed, chopped
9 cloves garlic
3/4 hot green chili pepper (fresh)
2 1/4 cups water
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 medium onions, minced
1/3 lb chicken parts, skinned
2 1/4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Put the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, nutmeg and red chili in a small frying pan.
  • Place over a medium flame.
  • Now quickly 'dry-roast' the spices, stirring them frequently until they emit a very pleasant 'roasted' aroma.
  • Empty the spices into a clean coffee grinder or spice grinder and grind until fine.
  • Put spiced in bowl.
  • Put the coconut into the same frying pan and dry roast it over a medium flame, stirring all the time.
  • The coconut should pick up lots of brown flecks and also smell roasted.
  • Put the coconut in the bowl with the other dry roasted spices.
  • Put the garlic, ginger, and green chili into the container of an electric blender, along with some water.
  • Blend until you have a paste.
  • Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch frying pan or saute pan over a medium high flame.
  • When hot put in the onions.
  • Stir and fry them until they pick up brown spots.
  • Now pour in the garlic-ginger mixture and stir once.
  • Turn heat to medium.
  • Put in the chicken pieces, salt, as well as the spice coconut mixture in the bowl.
  • Stir and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes or until it loses its pinkness and turn heat to low, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is tender.
  • Stir a few times during this cooking period, making sure that you turn over each piece of chicken so that it gets evenly colored.
