Andhra Pradesh : Natu Kodi Kura - Andhara Style Chicken Curry

on




This is a Andhra Style Chicken curry .  It has some of my own tweaks , but still having the authentic flavour .  A simple chicken dish with beautiful aroma of spices . Goes well with steamed rice , roti or paratha . 




Ingredient 

  • Chicken boneless - 1 KG 
  • Onion - 2 medium 
  • Ginger Paste - 1 Tbsp 
  • Garlic Paste - 1 Tbsp 
  • Green Chili -  3 or 4 
  • Red Chili powder - 1 tsp
  • Turmeric - 1 tsp 
  • Curry leaves - 1 handful 
  • Salt to taste 
  • Poppy seeds -  1 Tbsp 
  • Cashew nuts -  2 Tbsp  
  • Milk - 1/4 cup 
  • Oil -  3 Tablespoon

Curry Paste

  • Coriander seeds -   2 Tablespoon 
  • Grated Coconut - 2 Tablespoon 
  • Clove - 2-3 
  • Cardamom - 2 -3  
  • Cinnamon - 1 inch piece 
  • Red Chili whole - 2 
  • Turmeric - 1 Tsp 
  • Garlic - 4 to 6 cloves 
  • Ginger - 1/2 inch 
  • curry leaves -  5-6

Method

  • Dry roast all the ingredient for curry paste  for 3 to 4 minutes .  This paste is key to this dish which brings beautiful aroma 
  • Let it cool  then  grind with little paste till a smooth paste . Keep aside.
  • Soak poppy seeds and cashew nuts in warm milk for 15 minutes and make a smooth paste . Keep aside
  • In a wok , heat oil  and add curry leaves , green chilly and finely chopped onion 
  • Once onion is golden brown add ginger , garlic paste and fry for 2 -3 minutes 
  • Wash boneless chicken and cut into 2 inch pieces .  If you like you can use jointed chicken or only drumsticks as well .  As per my family's choice I prefer boneless .  
  • Add chicken , salt , turmeric and red chili powder in wok and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes .  You may omit chili powder if you want but  the dish tastes good if it is hot in taste 
  • Add curry paste and cook for 2-3 minutes 
  • Add one cup water  , simmer and cover the wok . Cook for 5-7 minutes .  You may add more water if you like more gravy 
  • Add poppy and cashew nut paste and boil for another  3-4 minutes 
  • Taste and season if required 
  • Garnish with some fried curry leaves and chili and serve with rice , roti or paratha . Traditionally it is served with rice
