Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 pounds Whole chicken
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 4 Cardamom pods
- 4 Cloves
- 2 Bay leaves
- 2 cups Tomatoes, pureed
- 1 cup Chicken stock or water
- 1 handful Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 Whole green chilies (optional)
Instructions
Clean the whole chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Make incisions on the chicken for the marinade to penetrate better.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade, making sure to massage it into the incisions. Cover the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and sauté them until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaves to the onions, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture, around 10 minutes.
Place the marinated chicken into the pot, breast side down, and sear it for about 5 minutes on each side.
Pour in the chicken stock or water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the chicken cook gently for 1 ½ to 2 hours, basting it occasionally with the cooking liquid.
If using whole green chilies, add them to the pot in the last 20 minutes of cooking for a mild spicy kick.
Once the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
Garnish with a generous handful of freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread.
