Microwave Indian Green Chicken Curry Recipes

CLASSIC INDIAN GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a blender, take chopped coriander, green chilies and 2 tablespoon of yogurt and blend into a smooth consistency. Add this to the remaining yogurt and mix. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, on medium heat, add cooking oil, garlic and ginger paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken to this and cook till the color of the chicken becomes white - indicating that it has cooked from the outside.
• Add salt, turmeric and garam masala at this stage and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Now immediately add the blended green yogurt mixture to the saucepan. Leave it to cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the water evaporates and the curry becomes thick.
• Make sure, before taking the curry off the stove, that the chicken is tender and has cooked all the way through. If the chicken isn't tender yet, add a little more water and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Serve hot with Naan.

HARIYALI CHICKEN (GREEN CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, green cardamoms, onion, green chilies to a blender jar. If you do not have ginger garlic paste, then add half inch ginger and 3 medium garlic cloves to the same jar.
• Make a fine paste without adding water. Set this aside.
• Heat a pan with oil. Add cumin and allow them to crackle.
• Then saute the curry leaves until crisp. Then add ginger garlic paste and fry for a minute.
• Add garam masala, coriander powder and chicken. Fry till it turns white in color.
• Cover and cook for 2 to 3 mins.
• Add green paste, fry for 3 to 4 mins until a nice aroma comes out.

• Then pour water & add salt.
• Stir well and cook covered until the chicken is tender.
