Garlic chicken as the name suggests, garlic plays a very
immense and considerable role in this recipe.This recipe does not include a big
list of ingredients instead it would just require a few of them.
The chicken is marinated in curd and a paste of lots of
garlic, a little ginger and some chillies. This marinated chicken is then
cooked in the sauted onions until tender. For me it took exact 20 minutes,
however, it should be done until cooked.
So lets begin with the recipe
Ingredients:
½ kg Chicken (skinless and medium pieces)
2 medium Onions (thinly sliced)
20 cloves Garlic
1 inch Ginger
3 Green Chillies
½ cup Curd
½ tsp Turmeric powder
½ tsp Coriander powder
¼ tsp Red Chilli powder
Salt
Method:
Grind 15 cloves of garlic, 1 inch ginger and 3 green
chillies to a coarse paste.

If you like, you could garnish it with some coriander
leaves. I didn’t like to interfere the beautiful aromatic flavor of this garlic chicken with any other essence,
so, I kept it simple.
