KODI IGURU RECIPE
serves 4
Ingredients:
- Chicken – 1 kg, cleaned and cut into small pieces
- Onions – 4, sliced
- Tomatoes – 2, cubed
- Ginger – 2 tbsp, chopped finely
- Garlic – 5-6 cloves, minced
For the masala (powder coarsely together)
- Cinnamon – a 2” stick
- Cardamom – 3
- Cloves – 2
- Star anise – 3
- Dried red chillies – 6
- Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
- Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
- Powdered coriander seeds – 2 tsp
For tempering and garnishing
- Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
- Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
- Chopped coriander leaves (optional)
- Oil – 4 tbsp
How to make Kodi Iguru
1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and temper the mustard seeds. Then add the onions and curry leaves and fry till the onions turn a dark golden brown. I stop short of burning them, since I like the flavor better then.
2. Next add the ginger and garlic and fry for 10 seconds before adding the ground masala. This mixture needs to be fried for about 2 minutes. Add some oil at this stage if the masala looks too dry.
3. Add the tomatoes and chicken pieces next and stir well. Do NOT add any water. Keep the fire on sim and cook covered for about 15 minutes till the chicken is tender.
4. When you remove the cover, there will be some more water left in the pan. So cook with the cover open till its dry, the masala sticks to the chicken pieces and the oil separates. Keep stirring at this stage, without breaking the chicken pieces.
5. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve Kodi Iguru hot with rice.
