[dirtycombats]

 

Serves: 4
Cooking time (approx.): 26 minutes
Style: Indian Non-Vegetarian (Parsi)

8  medium pieces (about 800 grams) of chicken
salt and freshly milled pepper to taste
1  teaspoon(s) red chilli powder
?  teaspoon(s) turmeric powder
1  teaspoon(s) curry powder or hot spice mix (garam masala) powder
1  teaspoon(s) ginger paste
2  teaspoon(s) garlic paste
3  tablespoons oil
2  bay leaves
1  teaspoon(s) cumin seeds
2  onion(s) chopped
2  teaspoon(s) red chilly paste
2  teaspoon(s) coriander powder
3  large tomatoes finely chopped or grated
2  cup(s) deep fried potato straws (salli)
Finely chopped fresh coriander to garnish



Apply the salt, pepper, red chilly powder, turmeric, half the curry powder, ginger and garlic pastes to the chicken pieces. Marinate for about 2 hours.

Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the bay leaves and cumin seeds. Fry till the cumin seeds crackle. Add the onions and fry for about 4  minutes or till the onions are golden brown.
Add the red chilly paste, remaining ginger and garlic pastes. Fry for about 2  minutes. Add the coriander powder and the remaining curry powder. Fry for a few seconds.
Add the tomatoes and fry for about 5  minutes or till a thick gravy is formed.
Add the chicken and salt to taste. Mix well. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for about 15  minutes or till chicken is well cooked and the gravy is thick.
Garnish with the potato straws (salli) just before serving.
TIPS:

Deep fried potato straws called salli in India are readily available at most Indian stores. Check for fresh stock. They can also be made at home. Shred the potatoes like matchsticks and deep fry till crisp and golden.
Boneless chicken can be also used for this recipe. Reduce or halve the weight of chicken if using boneless. Rest of the ingredients remain the same. Reduce the cooking time of chicken.
Keep some extra amount of hot water ready if more gravy is desired.
Serve hot with: Cumin rice (Jeera Chawal), steamed rice or Indian bread (Roti).

I'm sorry but why is this posted under 'beginner's questions'?

Is it spam or for real? If the latter, please provide some explanation of where the recipe comes from, whether you've tried it, etc.

[Stephen Lindsay]

I agree George I am a bit confused by these posts.

I don't understand the reactions to this recipe - this is a new member trying to share his recipes, how rude to respond with the question "is this spam"!  It may not be a BIR recipe and thus in the wrong forum section but wouldn't a better response be to provide some guidance to dirtycombats rather than demanding an explanation of where the recipe comes from.

Indeed.

This has clearly been posted here in error and obviously not spam. Was reposted here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=7453.msg65200#msg65200

Guy's,

This is another perfect example of why we need more moderators on the forum.  George, kindly put himself forward a while back, specifically to remove spam, which he has been doing a sterling job of late, with the recent attacks but we also need mods that are willing to keep the forum tidy.

DC's post's are most definitely not spam, just recipes posted in the wrong sections but many thanks for posting DC.  Abdul Mohed does a very similar thing with his 'BIR style Bandwagon' post's, of which I've re-posted many of them in the correct sections for him.

I don't blame George for being a tad suspicious and a little bit blunt but I think (hope) when he rereads his replies, that he can see that it may come across a little harsh, especially to a new member.

Is anybody else willing to put their names forward to Admin for mod duties, as Phil has done but with full capabilities; IE; removing spam, moving posts, deleting inappropriate posts and so on?

I'm more than willing to help out when needed if others agree.

I'll copy this to the thread on the recent spam attacks
