Hassle Free Chicken Curry

Hassle Free Chicken Curry (Murgir Jhaal)

Cooking methodically and step wise needs whole of efforts and time , however when life seems to be a roller coaster ride with toddlers , there are bound to happen some new and hassle free methods .
This Chicken curry is the result of that , whenever I am in hurry , I fix this chicken curry with warm cooked rice , No stirring and no frying and standing in kitchen when the humidity is roaring high , all you need is onion/ginger/garlic paste , little bit of yogurt , coconut paste and let it marinate for at least 3-4 hrs .
Shift the entire marinated stuff to the Kadai /heavy bottom saucepan and cover and then forget about it , do spend time with your little ones or go for a walk, whatever you feel do, and after half an hour come back to the kitchen, check the curry , if the chicken pieces needs a liitle more cooking do so for another half an hour ,then take out in a separate bowl or bring the pot straight to the dinning table .
Without adding much, I will write the recipe now .......
