Chicken Chaap Kolkata

🇮🇳 Indian

Kolkata chicken chaap in poppy-cream orange gravy, the biryani's sidekick at Arsalan. The Sunday-special format that every region does differently. Plate with flaky paratha and sliced onions.

Prep 33 min Cook 41 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Chicken500 g, bone-in pieces
  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste2 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion3, finely sliced
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Green Chili2, slit
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Coriander Powder2 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil3 tbsp
  • Red Chili Powder1-2 tsp
  • Poppy Seeds1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Kasuri Methi1 tsp
  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken with salt and the ground spices, rub in ginger garlic paste, and let it sit while you build the rest.

  2. 2

    Brown the onions properly in hot oil, eight to ten minutes, till bronze and sweet.

  3. 3

    Build the masala: paste, tomato, powders — cook until thick, glossy and clearly done.

  4. 4

    Add the marinated chicken with the yogurt; sear on high for five minutes, then add hot water to come halfway and simmer covered.

  5. 5

    Simmer till done — the meat should leave the bone without a fight — then finish with garam masala and cilantro.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
