Lemon Pickle Chicken
Servings: 1 - 2 people
Difficulty Level - Medium
Preparation Time - 25 minutes
Cook Time - 25 min
Ingredients
- 500 grams of boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup Lemon Pickle
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt (curd)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or ghee
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Procedure
- Combine the yoghurt, Lemon Pickle, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better) to allow the flavours to infuse.
- In a pan, heat vegetable oil or ghee over medium heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the chicken is cooked, adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a little more Lemon Pickle for extra tanginess if desired.
- Garnish the Lemon Pickle Chicken with fresh coriander leaves.
