Maharashtra Curry Chicken

 

 

 

A few of you guys have been asking me for a Chicken dish so here is a delicious and easy chicken dish that My husband makes and even my picky little daughter will eat it too!

 

 

Ingredients:

 

1 Pack of Boneless/Skinless Chicken (I use Chicken Tenderloins)

3/4 red onion

4 cloves of garlic (2 for marinating & 2 for cooking)

2 inches of ginger (1 inch for marinating and 1 for cooking)

1/2 lemon

1 Serrano pepper

handful of cilantro

tomato puree

3/4 cup of water

Spices: turmeric, tandoori masala, garam masala & salt

 

 

Step 1: You want to marinate the Chicken (at least 2 hours in advance). For Marinating grate 2 cloves of garlic and 1 inch of ginger, cut chicken into bite-size cubes, add 1 spoon of turmeric, tandoori masala and salt (combine all ingredients with hands) put back in refrigerator for a few hours (the longer it marinates the better).
