HANDI RECIPE FOR CHICKEN:

Handi Recipe for chicken South Asian boneless chicken curry known as “chicken handi” has a silky tomato-onion gravy and a creamy base. Coconut cream, dairy cream, cashew powder, yogurt, or any mix of these might all be used to make the creamy foundation. A particular type of pot known as a handi is typically constructed out of stainless steel, copper, or clay. Traditionally, a handi pot is used to cook chicken handi.

 This is the fundamental red chicken handi recipe that can be used to create additional flavors as chicken handi has grown over time. Try the reshmi handi and ginger handi varieties of chicken handi as well.

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken: The silky gravy of handi pairs beautifully with boneless chicken. Use of boneless is therefore advised

Onion: 

Sliced onions work just as well, but finely chopped onions cook more quickly.

Tomato: 

Slow cooking improves the flavor of tomatoes. Tomato purée and paste both taste fantastic in handi because of this. I kept the ingredients basic by using fresh tomatoes.

 Yogurt: 

Make sure you use plain, unsweetened yogurt. For a dairy-free alternative, mix yogurt with almond milk, coconut milk, or both.

Cream: 

This recipe works best with double cream. For a dairy-free alternative, use nut cream or coconut cream.

Spices: 

I only used a few spices in this recipe, but it still tastes scrumptious. A deeper taste can be achieved by using more spice mixtures. A few to try include spice mixtures like achari masala, tikka, or tandoori masala.

Oil: 

Both olive oil and vegetable oil worked well in this recipe. Each is effective. Make handi with mustard oil if you’re using achari masala.

HOW TO MAKE chicken handi?

Let’s look at how to prepare chicken.

• Mix thoroughly and reserve until the gravy is prepared. (This cornmeal coating will keep the chicken moist and tender.)             
• Next, fry onions in 14 cups of hot oil in a wok for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden. The wet spices, which include green chili paste and ginger garlic paste, should then be added.

• Cover the pot and cook the tomatoes for 10 minutes over medium heat, or until they are soft and the oil has separated from the tomatoes’ surface. (Overripe, softer tomatoes will quickly melt.)
• Transfer the yogurt and the gravy to a blender. In order to mix the hot gravy, yogurt also assists in bringing it to room temperature. Blend the gravy until it is extremely smooth and reserved.
• Next, add butter to the same skillet and stir-fry the marinated chicken until the color of the chicken changes.
• Add fenugreek and blended gravy to the chicken. (Other herbs, such as cilantro or curry leaves, are options.)
• Cook the gravy for 7 minutes under cover on medium heat, or until oil separates. Next, stir in the cream. The last 3–4 minutes of simmering the gravy should be done with the lid off. next, serve.
