Since circumstances have conspired to remind me of my chicken curry and this being the season of merriment, I will do you all a favour and post the recipe for the best chicken curry in the whole damned word. After about one and half years of trial and error, I finally settled on this. It's the best there is and dont bother to thank me, for I already hear it...
STUFF YOU WILL NEED:
1. aniseed or saunf or jeera, about a teaspoon or two
2. curry leaves or kadipatta, about ten or twelves leaves
3. onions, i usually put in about five of them but that's because i like its sweet tang
4. ginger-garlic paste, about three teaspoon
5. the chicken of course, a kilo, preferably cut into small pieces
6. chicken masala powder. now this is the tough part because you need Eastern Chicken Masala or Melam Chicken Masala for it to be the best chicken curry in the world. now both brands are big names in Kerala and is available in Mumbai in quaint little shops called Malayalee shops. any Malayalee aunty will direct you there. If you dont get it tough luck. use any chicken masala powder but dont blame me if the divinity is missing.
7. tomato, i usually go overboard, and put in about four of them
8. coconut oil, maybe half a cup
9. green chillies, about eight of them
10. salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder
HOW DO YOU DO IT:
Here's how. Put about one tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of turmeric powder on the chicken and mix it. Now remember, you are not marinating the fellow because, this might be news for you, chicken cannot be marinated. What you are doing is removing the chicken stench and this goes away after you wash the salty dead chicken after about five minutes. Now wash it again and again, as if the chicken is being readied for its own funeral. And now keep it aside.
Now, take a vessel, a large one, pour in the oil, let it heat and then put in the aniseed and curry leaves. Dont burn them, just enough for all that nice flavour to sink in.
Now add the onions, and turn the heat on as you make these onions very transparent like Mallika Sherawat. Once that's done, it's the turn of the ginger-garlic paste. And now this heavenly smell will come floating right onto you. Enjoy it because it wont last.
Now the chicken goes in and just fry it around for sometime and it is now time to put in the chicken masala powder but before that you have to do something to it. Listen carefully because this is very important.
Mix the chicken masala with water to make it into a paste before you add it onto the waiting dead chicken. I cant tell you how important this is. I also cant tell you why it works because it works.
Now you have got a dry sort of mixture on the fire, but dont add water. Leave the heat on medium. Maybe you can add the green chillies now after slitting them. if you like it hot add a teaspoon or two of red chilli powder
The hard work is more or less done, except for the tomatoes. Now there's a theory that the tomatoes should be added right at the end, about five minutes before you conclude and that keeps the meat tender. I personally have found that it makes no difference. So you can add the tomatoes whenever you feel like.
Now cover the vessel, go watch a TV serial or read a book and come back every five minutes to stir the chicken.
After about 30 minutes or so add some salt. And then taste it to see its fine. The thing with salt is always start low and then go on increasing because if you put excess of it, then it cant be reversed unless you have a chemistry professor near you.
Add water, if you wish for more gravy and i do wish for more gravy, so i usually add it.
After about 15 more minutes more switch off flame. Eat. Remember me as you eat.

What does the chick who doesnt eat chicken do with this?
let her eat rum cakes
MURDER!!!MURDER!!!
i go off to a friend's grahapravesham do and you commit such a heinous crime!!!
shame on you!!!
how could you???
blistering barnacles...
hmmm...
now that i'm sober, let me explain the anger...
you of all the people, madhavankutty pillai...are held in contempt of mallu tradition...
you forgot the most important ingredient(besides the chicken, i.e.)---the humbl coconut...
ah! & you call yourself the superdooperoopernut...
bah! humbug!!!
now i will be posting what goes on in my recipe...in a few minutes...
but you still have no trust in me, humble devil. and i tell you that you will have to develop it, if you want to learn at the feet of the master.
for of course, i know all about the coconut. and did i not point it out in my first line itself, so that those like you can deduce, that i did hard trial and error for a year and a half often being the only person to eat the black concoctions that i cooked.
and my pursuit and travails finally led me to this conclusion: that both coconut and coconut milk, take from the juices of the chicken which so redolently float in once this dish is made. you will also have noticed for precisely the same reason, that i make zero use of the pressure cooker which would halved our cooking time.
so coconut might work for chicken curry. but if you want the best chicken curry in the world, then one has to rise above parochialism and narrow regionalisms.
then why include mallu chicken masalas...
;-))
because they are the best there is. to make the best chicken curry in the world. super masala. super duper masala. superduperooper masala. to make the best chicken curry in the whole world.
ok, ok, check mine by hte end of the day...
try it sometime if you can...
pssshhhh... worthless
my mother is no doubt the best cook in the world. and she makes a VARIETY of chicken curries that will make psychopaths and dictators fall to her feet alike.
oh man she makes the chilli chicken that can take you to heaven even before you die. (its a grave tragedy i turned vegitarian 6 months ago). i guess i will end up in hell after all.
and madhavan, you have no argument against her title as the best cook because you are not a mother. so you cannot cook like a mother. and my mother is the best cook. so if you really want to win this war then you have to go become a mother and then send you child to me to argue. till then, no matter how great your experiment might be, you can never come close to the skillful hands of my mother.
btw. i like the onion and tomato part. because they are the two vegitables i live on.
hey, mummies don't qualify for this competition...
:-))
or why do you think we would be arguing with ourselves and not about our mummies...
hi ravs:
now let's not get carried away with this mother=good cook thing, okay. Mother=mother: Good cook=good cook. These are different vocations which might overlap but these are not the same.
Why do ya think the greatest chefs in the world are all men? Also, am not claiming I am the best cook in the world. I am just saying this chicken curry is the best chicken curry in the world. And am sorry to sorry to say, with all due respect to thy mother, none of her chicken curries will come close to this. I will give you an idea. take this recipe to her and ask her to cook it and then ask her whether this is the best chicken curry in the world. And I am guessing the answer. "YES"
and humble devil, with all due respect to you, when it comes to this chicken curry i invite every mother in this planet to come out with a better curry. all are invited to participate.
so be it...
:-)
OUCH !!!
all this fuss about chicken curry !! thank God i am a vegetarian....and by choice at that!!
Life is so simple this way.....
:)
hi shals:
is it? you are killing plants. howz that any different. and if you taste my chicken curry, then you will wonder why you were a vegetarian for so long. and then you will eat other chicken curries and then you will wonder whther you made a mistake and should have remained vegetarian. life will never be simple again
Oh My My !!
What on earth makes you so confident about you so called "The best chicken curry in the whole world" ?
Like as i said, i have not always been a vegetarian, and thus that means i know how chiken curies taste....and i am sure your recipe could only be a TAD bit different from all others, and even if it were "SIMBLY" out of this world i still would prefer being a vege..for all the right reasons !!
:)
bcoz i have tasted all the chicken curries in the world and bcoz i recognize quality.
for example, i recognize that you have a heart of gold, full of compassion and kindness and goodness. and if i cannot be wrong there, how can i be wrong with my chicken curry.
and even the best of us make mistakes in weak moments, so i forgive you for calling my chicken curry a tad different
Ohhh...TOOOOOOO MUCH !!
Ok now you dont have to go that far "i recognize that you have a heart of gold, full of compassion and kindness and goodness." ......NICE TRY though !!
what i think about your recipe remains unchanged!! and BTW you are dead wrong abt me there....am so NOT like That!!
And also, YOU CANNOT claim to have tasted all the recipes in the world untill you taste the chicken curry my Dad makes......... its the best.....by far, if only he did not Spice it up as much he does....and its only on such occasions that i for once, wish i were a non-vegetarian.....
ok fine. your recipe is a little better off from the others.......hopefully.....if that helps !!
;O)
CIAO!!
