Ingredients
- 2 1/5 lb chicken
- turmeric powder, to taste
- red chilli powder, to taste
- cumin powder, to taste
- coriander powder, to taste
- salt, to taste
- mustard oil, to taste
- onion, to taste
- water, to taste
- whole garam masala, to taste
- coriander leaves, to taste
Mango Paste
- 1 small mango
- green chilies, to taste
- garlic, to taste
- ginger, to taste
- 4 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp kasundi
Instructions
- 1Roast the mango, green chilies, garlic cloves, and ginger pieces over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are charred and the vegetables are softened; remove from heat and discard the charred skins.
- 2Transfer the roasted mango flesh, garlic, chilies, and ginger to a blender; blend until smooth, forming a mango paste.
- 3Add 4 tbsp honey (or sugar/jaggery) and 2 tbsp kasundi to the blended mango paste; blend again until the honey and kasundi are fully incorporated.
- 4In a large bowl, combine the 1 kg of chicken pieces with 3 tbsp of the prepared mango paste, then stir in turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt to taste; mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to marinate.
- 5Heat a generous amount of mustard oil in a heavy‑bottomed pan over medium‑high heat until it shimmers.
- 6Add the finely chopped onion to the hot oil and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion turns golden brown, about 4–5 minutes.
- 7Add the marinated chicken (including any remaining mango paste) to the pan; spread the pieces in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken begins to brown and is cooked through.
- 8Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, bring enough water to a boil (approximately 1 cup) and add the whole garam masala; simmer for 4–5 minutes, then strain the aromatics out.
- 9Pour the strained garam masala‑infused water over the chicken in the pan, ensuring the liquid covers the pieces; continue to simmer on low heat, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced to a thick coating, about 10–12 minutes.
- 10Stir in additional chopped green chilies (to taste) and the chopped coriander leaves; cook for another minute to meld the flavors.
- 11Remove from heat and serve the mango chicken hot, accompanied by rice or flatbread if desired.
