Lately, I have been experimenting with Middle Eastern flavors. That is how I came across the recipe for an Afghani Chicken Korma. Like all kormas, this variety requires the chicken to be cooked in a lot of yogurt. The secret ingredient would be the dried plums which add a distinct flavor to the dish. Find Aloo bukharas in your local market if dried yellow Plums are unavailable.
Ingredients
1) 1 entire chicken chopped into pieces
2) 8-10 dry Plums/Aloo Bukhara.
3) 1/2 cup Chana dal/Bengal gram.
4) 1 cup hung curd.
5) 1 tbsp chopped Ginger
6) 2 tbsp chopped garlic
7) 1/2 cup diced Onion
8) 4 Tomatoes, chopped
9) 4 green chilies, chopped
10) 1/2 cup oil
11) 2-3 tsp Salt
12) 1 tsp Turmeric
Recipe
1) Soak the dried Plums and Chana dal in two different bowls for 1/2-1 hour. Remove from water and keep aside.
2) In a pan, heat the oil on high heat. Fry the chicken slightly and remove. Fry the Ginger, garlic and Onion. Keep stirring. Lower the heat.
3) Add the hung curd and stir. Introduce the fried chicken into the pan and mix well. Next, add the Chana dal, plum, salt and turmeric. Stir and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for 10-15 mins.
4) Remove the lid and incorporate the chopped tomatoes and chilies into the korma. Cover with a lid, again and let it cook for 4-5 mins. Garnish the korma with Coriander leaves, Onion rings and Lemon slices. Serve with steaming rice or hot naan! :D
