I worked with Irene D'Souza's daughter some time ago . When we met at the lunch table in office, Charmaine D'Souza's food was the best !! This gentle but exquisite tasting Chicken Curry is really quite "nawabi" without being heavy and rich.
Irene was generous with the recipe, just like with her food.
1. Marinate a Kilo of chicken in thick curd for half an hour or so
2. Fry 2 onions finely cut till brown
3. Add a tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste
4. When fried well, add a tablespoon of chilli powder, a pinch of haldi (turmeric powder) and 1 teaspoon each of jeera (cumin), dhania (coriander) and garam-masala powder. Fry all the masala till the oil separates
5. Add the marinated chicken , salt to taste and cook till the chicken is soft and cooked
6. Add slit green chillies if you want it spicier
7. Garnish with coriander leaves chopped fine

Looks like a nice simple curry. How much thick curd should be used for one kilo of chicken please?
Hi, I'd use one whole cup of thick curd whisked to marinate the chicken.

Tks Ria. Tried it today. Turned out really nice.I saw the bay leaves in your picture and noticed they were not part of the recipe. Guess it was part of the jeera rice that accompanied the chicken! Anyway - i took that as inspiration and started with some whole garam masala - bay leaves, cloves, cinnamom sticks, before I put the onions. Was good. Tks for sharing.
Fantastic and very interesting tasty..Loving it.
