Sour Cream Chicken (Dry)


We used to make Sour Cream Curry Chicken in college, LIKE, everyday :) My roomies Sumangala and Neelam were my partners in crime.  I do not really remember who came up with the idea of sour cream to repalce the yogurt, but it was yummy. I do not know about good grades but we sure did eat good food everyday together as a family. This recipe does not really have a curry base - I just marinated it in sour cream and made it dry.

Ingredients: 4 Chicken Thighs, cut into small pieces

Marinade:
4 tsps Sour cream
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
4 garlic pods, finely chopped
2 tsps ginger paste
Salt

2 to 3 medium onions
Badshah Chicken Curry Masala
Cilantro
Lime juice
Marinate the chicken in the above marinade and let sit in a fridge for atleast 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions (chopped lengthwise).  Sautee for 3 to 4 minutes until carmelized ie a little brown.  Add the chicken along with all the marinade.  Give it a stir.  Cover and cook for 10 minutes on medium flame.  If the chicken appears cooked (ie when you poke in a piece and the inner meat is white and NOT pink), uncover the pan.  Turn the flame on high and sautee/toss the chicken around. You want all the condensed water to evaporate but keep tossing the chicken so as to not let it burn.  Add the cilantro (finely chopped) and salt. Toss.

Serve on a platter and squeeze some lime juice.
