INDIAN CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES (MURGH SUBJI WALA)

Steps:

• Remove skin and all visible fat from chicken; cut small slits into chicken to allow seasoning to penetrate; set aside.
• Heat oil in large saucepan; cook chicken pieces over medium-high heat until chicken is opaque, turning frequently, 5-6 minutes.
• Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Add cumin, onion, garlic, turmeric, and ginger to pan; cook stirring constantly until onions are caramelized, about 6-7 minutes.
• Add bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms, cayenne pepper, coriander powder and salt, stirring to mix well.
• Place chicken in pan, cover, reduce heat, and simmer till chicken is tender, 25-35 minutes.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle with garam masala.
• Serve with rice, hot breads such as naan or rotis, and vegetable dishes such as chole or saag, and possibly a salad.
• I also like to have fresh chilies and lemon wedges available as condiments also.

MURGH MAKHANI (INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Stir the yogurt and tandoori masala powder together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour. Drain and discard any excess marinade.
• Puree the onion, ginger, and garlic with the water in a blender until it forms a smooth paste; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Fry the onion paste in the hot oil until the moisture is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the garam masala and chili powder over the mixture; cook 1 minute more. Pour the tomato sauce into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan along with the half and half; bring to a boil. Add the butter, fenugreek leaves, and salt; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes.
