Laal Murg

Laal Murg



Laal Maans is a famous dish of Rajasthan. It is spicy and the name comes from the typical red chili found in the region. The dish has some very basic spices and the flavour comes from a combination of these spices and curd. The meat is slowly simmered in the curd gravy till it is soft and succulent. 
This dish  is an adaptation of the mutton dish that is a highlight of Rajasthani cuisine. The chicken cooks faster than mutton and is very easy to make. 

Ingredients

500 gm chicken
6 dry red chilly
3 black cardamoms
1” cinnamon
3 cloves
3 onions, chopped
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 cup dahi
1 tbsp red chili powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste

Heat some ghee or oil. Add the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Add the ginger garlic paste and the onions. Saute till the onions are cooked.
 Add the chicken and fry on high heat for 5 minutes. Beat the dahi well with red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and turmeric powder. Add it to the chicken in the pan. Fry some more. Add salt. Cover and cook till done.
