I do not know whether Paul Bocuse came home to a formidable dinner served by his wife or whether she made it to his heart enroute his stomach, but my wife ensures that I have a decent meal. Here is her recipe which works the necessary and required wonders on me.

Ingredients :

1/2kg Chicken

1 big onion chopped fine

2tsp ginger garlic paste

1 tomato chopped

Curd 1/4 cup

Coriander 1/2 bunch

Mint leaves 1/4 bunch

Green chillies 5-10 ( depending on the spiciness of GC and your requirement)

Coconut grated 3tblsp

Cashew 3-5 nos.

Whole Spices: cinnamon 1", cloves 2, cardamom -1

Method:

Marinate the chicken pieces with curd for about1/2hr. Meanwhile grind together coriander leaves, mint, green chillies ginger-garlic paste. Make another paste with the coconut and cashews separately. Heat oil ,temper whole GM ,sauté onions, mint paste until oil separates. Add chicken pieces marinated in curd and coat the pieces well with the masala. Once it's sealed add tomatoes and salt. Simmer until chicken is cooked. Can add 1/2cup water in between if needed and when the chicken is cooked add coconut paste and simmer for 5 mins. Serve with rotis or pulao. Or pilaff. Stylish huh?
