Let's try one of my favourite and easiest recipes: chicken with lemon and herbs in thick sauce.
What you will need:
7-8 chicken drumsticks
200ml thick plain yoghurt
Four lemons, squeezed
One teaspoon of ginger paste
Two cloves of garlic, sliced
One teaspoon of black pepper
One teaspoon of turmeric powder
One tablespoon of oil
4-5 fresh curry leaves
Two bouillon chicken cubes
One large onion, sliced
What to do:
In a pan over medium heat, pour the oil then add the curry leaves. Saute and then add the sliced garlic and onion slices. Mix well and add the chicken cubes. Use a wooden spatula to saute.
Once mixed well, add the ginger paste then go in with the Tumeric powder. Mix well and then go in with the chicken drumsticks. Continue stirring until the flavours coat the chicken.
Cook for another five minutes and then add the lemon juice. Bring to a boil and add the black pepper. Follow with the thick plain yoghurt. Cover with the tight lid and let it cook for another 10 minutes.
Once the sauce is thick and coats the chicken, it is ready to serve with your favourite plain rice, garnished with some extra lime or lemon slices, curry leaves and a few chillies if you like. Enjoy!
