Methi Chicken: A Flavorful Twist on Classic Chicken Curry

Methi Chicken is a delicious Indian dish made with chicken and fenugreek leaves, also known as methi. The earthy, slightly bitter flavour of the methi complements the juicy chicken pieces perfectly. Here's how to make it:
 

Ingredients:

• 500g boneless chicken
• 2 cups methi (fenugreek) leaves, washed and chopped
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 2 green chillies, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp garam masala powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1/2 cup tomato puree
• 2 tbsp oil or ghee
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil or ghee in a pan and add cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.
2. Add chopped onions and sauté till they turn golden brown.
3. Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add chopped methi leaves and green chillies. Mix well and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add all the dry spices - coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and garam masala powder. Mix well and sauté for another minute.
6. Add tomato puree and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the chicken pieces and mix well so that they are coated with the masala.
8. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
9. Once done, garnish with fresh methi leaves and serve hot with rice or naan.
